Who Is Mizkif
Mizkif’s real name is Matthew Rinaudo. He was born on February 16, 1995, and is from Montclair, New Jersey. He is American and of Italian descent. Online, he uses the name Mizkif for his streaming career, with Twitch serving as his primary live platform and YouTube providing another place to find his content.
His content falls primarily into two categories: variety streaming and Just Chatting. Rather than identifying his channel with a single game, those categories describe a broader streaming profile that includes gaming and conversation. His audience figures include 2,081,690 Twitch followers, verified on October 5, 2026, and 402K YouTube subscribers. The Twitch total rounds to 2.08 million; the two platform figures represent separate follower and subscriber counts.
Rinaudo has a heart condition, viral myocarditis, and ADHD. His publicly documented personal history also includes a relationship with fellow streamer Maya Higa from 2019 to 2021. Further biographical information and a wider account of his career are available in the Mizkif Wikipedia article.
Streaming Career & Rise to Fame
Mizkif began streaming in 2016. He gained popularity in 2018 while working as a cameraman for Ice Poseidon. These dates mark separate stages of his career: his initial start as a streamer and the later period when his work alongside another creator brought him wider attention.
By December 2019, his streaming activity also included charity fundraising. He raised more than $5,000 for St. David’s Children’s Hospital in Austin. That fundraiser is a documented example of his charity work, distinct from his channel growth and subsequent business projects.
On January 18, 2021, Mizkif reached one million Twitch followers. His later verified total of 2,081,690 provides another dated reference point for the channel’s audience size. These milestones describe follower totals, not the number of people watching a particular broadcast at the same time.
His awards record includes winning Best Just Chatting Streamer at the 2021 Streamer Awards. He was also nominated for Streamer of the Year. The win relates directly to one of his primary content categories, while the Streamer of the Year recognition was a nomination rather than another award win.
In the October 2021 Twitch leaks, Mizkif ranked 23rd, with reported earnings of $2,086,548.21 for August 2019 through October 2021. That amount refers to the stated reporting period. It should not be presented as his current annual income or his net worth.
One True King & Business Ventures
Mizkif co-founded the gaming organization One True King on October 11, 2020, alongside Asmongold, Esfand, Rich Campbell, and Tips Out. OTK is part of his career history as both a streamer and an organization founder. For another profile connected to the organization, see OTK member Sodapoppin.
His ventures outside his main channel include Iron Forge Gym in Austin, which he co-owned with Knut in January 2024. The gym added a fitness business to a career otherwise centered on online content. In May 2024, his projects also included the Just Chatting Podcast.
Another venture was Unrooted, a platformer game released on Steam on August 2, 2024. Together, the gym, podcast, and game represent separate projects associated with Mizkif during 2024. Their dates should not be confused with the earlier founding of OTK in October 2020.
Controversies & Challenges
Wikipedia’s account of Mizkif’s career records a seven-day ban associated with PAX East in 2019. It also covers allegations in 2022 and the subsequent investigation by the Jackson Walker law firm. That investigation found no direct evidence of a cover-up.
In 2025, OTK terminated Mizkif for reasons unrelated to the 2022 allegations. The investigation’s finding and the later termination are separate events. His status as an OTK co-founder describes his role in establishing the organization in 2020, rather than a statement that he remains affiliated with it.
