CoryxKenshin

"'Cuz my name is CoryxKenshin. Slice that like button!"

- Cory's outro

Cory DeVante Williams (born: November 9, 1992), better known online as CoryxKenshin, is an American YouTuber and Let's Player who also does charities. Some refer to him as the "best samurai". He is currently based in Farmington Hills, Michigan. Due to Cory's personality and the unique edits in his videos, he was able to get a good and active fanbase on his channel.

History
Cory first joined YouTube on April 26, 2009, creating a channel under the username "CoryxKenshin". In 2013, he played his first horror game which was a survival one called "White Finger". The first game series he made was about the 1994 sports game called "Super Punch Out!". CoryxKenshin appeared in several gaming festivals such as Comic-Con International and PAX East, during which he met famous YouTubers such as Muyskerm, Yamimash, LordMinion777, and jacksepticeye. He is now close friends with the four. Cory is also known to play horror games, especially RPG horrors, but he also played action games like Bloodborne and Dark Souls. His favorite playthroughs are the videos about Outlast, The Evil Within and Corpse Party.

Personal Life
Though not much is known about Cory's personal life, he was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan and he still resides in Michigan. He has a brother named Anthony, who appeared in one of his videos and a pet dog named Samson the Savage (also known as "Sam") who joined the Samurai Community on May 3, 2016. According to Cory, Sam is the first pet he ever owned.

Originally, Cory went to college but later dropped out to pursue his YouTube career.



Cory has made it clear that he is a Christian, adding verses at the end of most of his videos and referencing God several times.

On April 25, 2017, Cory announced in a video that he has Ectodermal Dysplasia, which is a rare genetic disorder which he inherited from his father: he has only 24 teeth instead of 32, and he barely has any hair on his body.

Hiatuses
On February 16, 2016, Cory stopped uploading for 2 months. During this time, he wasn't active on Twitter, Instagram, etc. However, on April 29, 2016, Cory announced he will be back, and he did return with a video on April 30. He said that he apologizes for not updating any of his social media sites and he was sorry about leaving his fans behind.

2 years later, on January 16, 2018, Cory stopped uploading again, yet this time it was for 4 months. Cory was on a trip before he stopped uploading. He did return on May 20, 2018 with a live stream where he explained that he was not 100% ready, he wasn't well rested, and that he just wanted to quit. On November 16, Cory had taken a break off of Youtube again, but he returned a month later with a comical skit video called "ASMR HORROR GAMES".

On May 8, 2019, he uploaded the video "THE 100-DAY STREAK IS OVER! 100 Upload Days In a Row." in which he explains that it has been always his goal to upload daily for 100 days before taking a 4-month break. He considered this a test of perseverance and hard work. However, he uploaded a gameplay video one month later on June 12, 2019 and said he is going to return on June 16, 2019.
