Hi, this is YouTube channel called "20sarasa (ni-sara)" There is no specific meaning for the channel name, but I added "20th century" + "the name of my old cat", and then it became "20sarasa". (Originally, I made this just to watch YouTube, so didn't set it with a specific meaning. This is a channel where a man in 40s (married with a son) born in the 1970s introduces own miniature cars and other items. I used to repair large vehicles and heavy machinery, so I may be able to talk about them a little. These days I'm mainly into dioramas and other scenery parts for 150/1 scale N-gauge, such as TOMYTEC's truck and trailer collection. I also really like Diecast Master, Northcott, and other diecast heavy machinery, and hope to introduce them more as my collection increases. I'm also on Twitter and Instagram, so it would be happy if you could follow them too.

How We Collect Data of Gen Z YouTube influencers in Japan

We use an advanced automated system to collect YouTube influencer profiles by regularly monitoring the YouTube database. Our system identifies the profiles of Japan-based YouTube influencers within the gen z niche by focusing on the following key metrics:

  • Relevance to gen z: Our system analyzes each influencer's username, bio, and posts to confirm that their content is related to the gen z niche.

  • Location Verification: Our system checks for the inclusion of city or country names in profiles, and where necessary, we analyze flags, localized posts and profile bio data to confirm the influencer's location in Japan.

  • Public Profiles Only: We exclude private profiles, even if they are Japan-based and publish gen z-related content. Our system only extracts the public profiles of influencers.

  • Sufficient Number of Posts: Our system picks the influencer accounts that have a consistent history of posts. It proves that the influencer is active and engaged in their content.

  • Minimum Follower Count: Our system prioritizes Japan-based gen z influencers with a minimum of 5,000 followers.

By analyzing these key statistics, our system automatically identifies the most relevant gen z influencers located in Japan, extracts the data, and adds it to our database. The information is then processed, verified, and classified to ensure accuracy and relevance.

How Our Algorithm Identifies Gen Z YouTube Influencers in Japan

Heepsy uses an Al-powered algorithm to identify the most relevant gen z YouTube influencers in Japan.

Identifying Influencer Location in Japan:

  • Profile Location Information: First, we check if the influencers profile explicitly mentions city or country. If the profile contains certain specific cities from Japan, or any other reference to Japan, we automatically mark the profile as Japan-based.

  • Bio and Content Analysis: If no explicit location is mentioned, our system scans the influencer's bio for any references to Japan, such as cultural symbols, language spoken within Japan, or location- specific hashtags that could indicate the influencer's connection to Japan.

  • Use of Flags and Emblems: In cases when the influencer doesn't mention a specific city or region, we look for flags in the bio that indicates Japan or any related symbols suggesting origin from Japan.

  • Localized Content: We analyze the influencer's content for any localized posts that show landmarks from Japan, events, or local cultural references. This can help us identify their location and target audience within Japan.

Identifying gen z relevance:

  • Identifying Key Terms: We begin by searching for specific gen z-related terms, such as 'gen z' or any other industry terms in an influencer's name or bio.

  • Expanding with Synonyms and Variations: Our algorithm recognizes related terms within the industry and other gen z specializations. We also account for variations, ensuring a comprehensive view of the influencer's expertise.

  • Multilingual Detection: To ensure a global reach, we use an Al-based multilingual sentence transformer to detect influencers in different languages, so we don't miss out on valuable gen z voices around the world.

  • Strict Category Match: A profile qualifies for gen z only when its name or bio contains a gen z term, or when its content is classified in the gen z category. A single loose word in a caption is not enough.

  • Ranking the Matches: Profiles that qualify are ranked by follower count: the category match decides who is on the list, and followers decide the order.

How We Rank Gen Z YouTube Influencers in Japan

Only YouTube profiles that match the gen z category and that we have identified as based in Japan are eligible for this list.

Eligible profiles are then ranked by follower count, from highest to lowest, so the most-followed gen z YouTube influencers in Japan appear first.

The page shows the top 10. To see every matching profile and sort or filter by engagement rate, audience and other criteria, search our full database.
