Bio (from Twitch)
Hi hi! I'm ShouraiLive (he/him) but you can just call me Shou (pronounced "Show") to make it easier. I have cerebral palsy, which has left me unable to walk (I'm in a wheelchair), non-speaking (I use text-to-speech & soundboards), and only able to use my right hand. My first stream was on 2013.05.28

More Info
2012
In late 2012, Shou created and started uploading videos to his YouTube channel.
2013
In May of 2013, he won a video contest for which the prize was a capture card, and has been streaming on Twitch ever since.
2018
In February of 2018, after 5 years of discussion, Shou released the song "Adapt". He describes it as the anthem for the warriors and the survivors. It was a joint project between Omega Sparx, DJ Optimus Prime, and Shou. It's a celebration of his life and those in similar circumstances. Shou has had to constantly adapt to situations as they arise thanks to his disability, regardless of whether it's in games or real life, He adapts and pushes on.
2021
Shou was a Featured Guest in LANFest's eSports for Education fundraiser benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Hollywood, where he played exhibition matches in Tekken 7.
2022
In mid-2022, Shou discovered an input remapper called reWASD, which has several outstanding features which while perhaps not intended, definitely help with accessibility in games, such as setting buttons as toggles in games that don't have that option. Shortly after, Shou became a proud reWASD Affiliate. Shou still uses reWASD for all the games he plays because of the added accessibility it affords him.
After 9 years of streaming, Shou was getting tired of his disability being so front and center on camera as most people aren't patient enough to wait for him to even use his text-to-speech. So, he decided to change to a VTuber in November 2022.
2026
Shou became partnered with Taiwanese gaming accessory company, Brook Gaming.
