cheeky is listed as a former pro player, competing on TEAM 01 in the 11th Crazy Raccoon Cup Apex Legends, which runs October 4, 2026. No other current activity for cheeky appears in the coverage.
cheeky appears in Yomimono coverage only as a competitor. In the 11th Crazy Raccoon Cup Apex Legends, announced September 29, 2026, cheeky is listed on TEAM 01 alongside Hey! Say! JUMP member Ryosuke Yamada, billed as LEO, and YouTuber HIKAKIN. The billing identifies cheeky as a former pro player, which places them in a bracket that also includes the VTubers Lauren Iroas, Ibrahim, Fuwa Minato, Tokoyami Towa, Shibuya Hal, Ichinose Uruha and Nekota Tsuna, plus streamers SHAKA, Kato Junichi and Seki Yuta.
The tournament field is 20 teams of three, 60 players total, with scrims starting Thursday, October 1 and the competition beginning at 17:00 on Sunday, October 4, 2026. Teams are assembled by rank and other factors and compete for the championship. Hiraiwa Kosuke calls the play-by-play and Alelu provides commentary.
The other two stories in this cluster do not involve the person cheeky. One is Taito's Arcade Collection PART2 for the Egret II Mini, whose 10 included games are "Lady Bug," "Undercover Cops" and "Cheeky Mouse," a 1980 to 1993 Universal and Irem lineup. The other is BookWalker Global's partnership with Crossed Hearts, whose launch titles include the manga "You're Way Too Cheeky, Chigaya-kun!" Both are separate from cheeky the player, and neither adds anything to the competitive picture in the Crazy Raccoon Cup story.
