Yandere Dev

Alexander Mahan (born June 30, 1988) known on YouTube as YandereDev is an independent game developer from California. He worked at a video game company named "Kung Fu Factory" prior of the creation of Yandere Simulator, then he left on July 2013 to pursue his dream of becoming an indie game developer. His first known indie game was "Lunar Scythe" which is postponed by now. He has created five console games and five mobile games he contributed to this company.

Personality
YandereDev is best known for being incredibly hard-working. He works twelve hours a day and as of January 8th, 2016 YandereDev states that he has been using the same exact update schedule for the past year. YandereDev always tries to get his builds out on time. He even mainly works on the game alone, with help from volunteers.

He is sarcastic, which really shows when answering some Twitter posts. He acts like this towards people he finds irritating and difficult to tolerate, even if they are a fan of Yandere Simulator. As a result of this sort of behavior from fans, YandereDev created the character Midori Gurin solely for the purpose of ridiculing people who send him stupid emails. In his video's, such as 'Yandere Simulator's BIGGEST Problem', YandereDev The Gaming Club often kills off Midori, due to his irritation of unnecessary emails he receives.

Appearance
He is insecure about his appearance as he does not like the way he looks, but YandereDev said that he will eventually reveal his face, sometime before the Kickstarter, so that he does not seem shady when trying to hide his identity.

During his visit to Anime Expo 2016, he allowed fans to take photos with him; since then, there are now several public pictures featuring him on his blog.

In several videos, particularly the recent ones, YandereDev uses Senpai to represent himself. In his video on Yandere Simulator's Biggest Problem, (and for a future announcement) his eyes are brown instead of black. His avatar is a picture of Yandere-chan, and in his older videos, he used her to represent himself.

YandereDev is seen with black hair, brown eyes and glasses, as seen in many Anime Expo 2016 pictures. YandereDev has stated he doesn't want any pictures of him in the past because he had "nasty dark eye circles," but he eventually "came out of his shell".
