Emily Schunk, also known as Emiru, was born on January 3, 1998, in Wichita, Kansas, USA. She is a Twitch streamer, YouTuber, and social media influencer worth about $1.5 million.
Early Life
Emiru was born to a German-American father and a Chinese mother in Wichita, Kansas. Growing up with her brother, Nicolas, video games became a shared passion in their household.
Despite her parents’ demanding careers—her father is a businessman, and her mother is a lawyer—Emiru found solace in gaming and excelled in co-curricular activities like soccer and tennis during high school.
She graduated from high school in 2016 and decided to forgo college to pursue her passion for gaming full-time.
Career
Emiru began her digital career by launching a YouTube channel in 2013.
She started streaming on Twitch in late 2015, focusing on League of Legends. Her engaging personality and cosplay content quickly gained traction.
In August 2020, she joined the esports organization Cloud9 as a content creator but left in January 2022 to join One True King (OTK), where she became a co-owner and continued her work as a content creator.
Emiru’s influence extended beyond gaming; her cosplay inspired the League of Legends champion Gwen. She also hosts the Steak & Eggs Podcast with fellow OTK members.
Personal Life
Emiru is known for her engaging social media presence and creative cosplays. She previously dated Marcus Hill (Dyrus), a fellow gamer and Twitch streamer. They were together for over four years before breaking up in November 2020.
Emiru lives in Austin, Texas, with fellow Twitch streamers Mizkif, Russel, and Simply. She continues to inspire her audience through her creative content and professional achievements.
