Pieyon's popularity in the Oshi no Ko anime series has led to real-life appearances on the anime's official YouTube channel in the past. However, the latest announcement at Jump Festa 2024 revealed that Pieyon will now star in a monthly live-action series hosted on the anime's official YouTube channel.
The exciting news about the Oshi no Ko anime character coming to life and having his own monthly show was revealed at Jump Festa 2024 through a video announcement. Pieyon himself confirmed that he will be regularly posting videos on the channel every month, using the pseudonym 'Pieyon Channel.' He explained that his absence from Jump Festa 2024 was due to being occupied with filming content for the series' YouTube channel.
Pieyon's previous appearance on the YouTube channel featured him reenacting the workout routine he did with the characters Ruby Hoshino and Kana Arima in the anime's fifth episode. Although this Pieyon revealed his face and was identified as Naotaka Yokokawa, the 209 Japan Bodybuilding & Fitness Federation Mr. Japan, the Pieyon in the announcement video is not mentioned as Yokokawa. Similarly, just like in the anime series, Pieyon's true identity remains a mysterious puzzle.
