Twitch About

Hey, I'm ShouraiLive, although I just tell everyone to call me Shou (pronounced "Show") to make it easier. I was born with cerebral palsy, which has rendered me unable to walk (so I'm in a wheelchair), non-speaking (so I use text-to-speech and soundboards), and only able to use my right hand. I've also been streaming since May 28, 2013.
I have a Throne wishlist, which now has Collections! You can send me gifts directly in the mail while keeping both of our info private. Send a gift through this link: https://throne.com/shourailive
From May 2013 to January 2014, I used AVerMedia RECentral. From January 2014 to March 2015, I used Open Broadcaster Software (OBS). From March 2015 to January 2024, I almost exclusively used XSplit. I've used Streamlabs Desktop (when it was still known as Streamlabs OBS) maybe twice, but really don't care for it. From January 2024 on, I've gone back to using OBS.

On 2022.05.11, I started using reWASD to bolster my accessibility while gaming.

For audio, I use Logitech Mixline.

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.
