Early Life[]
Anı was born in Türkiye but spent the majority of her life in the United States. She has both American and Turkish citizenship. Before YouTube, she worked as a manager for a company.
Career[]
Anı started her YouTube channel in 2016. The most recently available video was posted in 2018. She also has other YouTube channels, including ani, a channel featuring song covers, catclub, a channel featuring edited cat videos, and kinganiTV, a channel featuring Twitch highlights.

Visual[]
Anı's YouTube videos primarily utilize the color pink, an aesthetic that she carries over to all of her other social media. To match the visual style, her videos also feature cutesy electronic music, most notably Memo and Clockwise by composer DCI noot.
Format[]
Anı's YouTube videos often involve reacting to Reddit posts, pictures (including memes), Twitter posts, YouTube videos, and quizzes. Less common videos involve drawings and vlogs. Anı is never featured alone; she will usually feature other YouTubers via a Discord call, for example, BluesDank, Weest, Stryxo, Condifiction, WildSpartanz and Quackity.
Most of the appeal of the video comes from a combination of the featured content and chemistry between featured people. The end of Anı's videos features fan art, similar to how many storytime animators feature fan art at the end of their videos.
Anı's face is barely shown on the channel, only appearing in her vlogs [1] and in a couple of her reaction videos[2].

Consistent with her established visual style, kingani’s persona has been praised for being ’wholesome’, ‘innocent’ and ‘cute’. This distinction sets her apart from other YouTube commentators.
