Kelvis Gharamanian (born: December 17, 1999),[1] better known online as Kelogish and Koofy, is a former German YouTuber who made Roblox and Friday Night Funkin' videos. On September 8, 2024, Koofy was exposed by a collaborator Kaka v420 as being the YouTuber Kelogish.[2]
Personal Life
He was born in Mannheim, Germany. He shared a TikTok video about a text conversation with his mom in December 2020. He dropped out of college to devote his time to YouTube. He launched his YouTube account in July 2018.
Content
On his Kelogish channel, he mainly made videos on the Roblox game Bubble Gum Simulator before resorting to Funky Friday, directed towards young audiences before his termination on the platform. On the Koofy channel, which he made shortly after his initial termination, he would make "roasting" videos directed towards the "online dating" and "cringe" community of the platform Roblox, also making skits. That content on Koofy is similar to Kaka v420's content, which he would later often collab with prior to the incident.
Controversy
Pedophilia
In August 2021, he was exposed for being an (alleged) pedophile by forcing minors to send naked pictures of themselves to him on Discord and being inappropriate despite being over the age of 18.[3] But it is worth noting that the age of consent in Germany is 14 and Kelogish was 20 at the time of the messages being sent. There is a law in Germany where minors can complain about sexual harassment but the “groomer” in this instance would have to be at least 21, which Kelogish was not. A victim of him reached out to another victim Pyranad saying that Kelogish wanted them to be shirtless. Pyranad also said that Kelogish had a girlfriend that was 14 years old and his girlfriend had to quit Discord. Kelogish controversially said that his girlfriend was "very mature for her age". He admitted to the activities on a Nattie Forsyth video.[4]
Re-exposure
Recent investigations by YouTuber kaka v420 in a video posted on September 8, 2024 have revealed that Koofy was formerly known as Kelogish. In said video, kaka v420 exposed Koofy for being an alternate account of the German YouTuber, who was terminated after he was exposed for pedophilia. Koofy gave kaka v420 access to his YouTube Studio analytics, which included keywords such as "Kelogish", "Kelo" and "pedo" which were being blocked from being used in his comment sections, as he didn’t want his true identity to be revealed.[2] Kaka delayed the video in which he exposed Koofy for several months due to his fear of having "blood on his hands", i.e. the guilt he would face if Kelogish committed suicide if he were to be exposed as Koofy.[2]
