Yuuki Konno[1] (้‡‘้‡Ž ่ฃ•ๅธŒ, Konno Yลซki, born May 17, 1994) is a Japanese Wikimedian.

Early life

Yuuki Konno was born on May 17, 1994 at 1:56 a.m., at Fukuoka Hospital in Ninohe, Iwate, and raised in Esashi. His mother, Yลซko Konno (nรฉe Jลซmonji), was a nurse, and father, Kลji Konno, a medical assistant and later labor union activist.[2] He has an older brother, Songsknow.

Yuuki started using a computer at the age of two, when his father bought him a Panasonic U1 Pro FW-U1P609 word processor. He learned kanji through its kanaโ€“kanji conversion and read through the Great Chineseโ€“Japanese Dictionary. At age four, he was given a Fujitsu FMV Deskpower MV205 FMVM52053 computer and played games including Puyo Puyo for Windows 95 and Diablo I.[3]

Early career

In 2003, Yuuki went online at age nine when his father signed up for Yahoo! BB. He began his career as a troll on TheBBS under the handle Aku no Zurihaki[4] (ๆ‚ชใฎใšใ‚Šใฏใ, lit. Zurihaki of evil) and later Seizan.[5] Learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, he created a browser exploit and security website.[6] Yuuki gained widespread attention in Virtual Farm (ใƒใƒผใƒใƒฃใƒซ่พฒๅ ด, Virtual Nลjล), a browser-based farming game by RCC,[7] after lying that his money was stolen by others. He became known as "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" (็‹ผๅฐ‘ๅนด, ลŒkami Shลnen).[8] He found cross-site scripting vulnerability on the game's site and spread an XSS worm.

In 2005, Yuuki dropped out of Iwayadล Elementary School.

The login screen of Monachat

In 2007, at age 13, Yuuki met a hacker Linux User who taught him Debian GNU/Linux and Perl in Monachat (ใ‚‚ใชใกใ‚ƒใจ, Monachato), a metaverse with ASCII art avatars. Yuuki rose to stardom after launching a massive DDoS attack against Monachat under the handle Momakuru (ใ‚‚ใพโ˜†ใใ‚‹).[9]

In 2008, he created a Twitter account and began posting his thoughts every second, advocating its use as a thinking tool. In 2010, he founded the field of mathematics in anime after watching Baka to Test to Shลkanjลซ.
