Ryosuke Yamada is listed among the 60 players in the 11th Crazy Raccoon Cup Apex Legends, competing under the name LEO on TEAM 01. His YouTube channel Yonino Channel, which he appears on with Kazunari Ninomiya, Yuichi Nakamaru, and Fuma Kikuchi, reached 5 million subscribers on June 19.
Ryosuke Yamada is billed as LEO in the 11th Crazy Raccoon Cup Apex Legends. Crazy Raccoon announced the participants on Tuesday, September 29, and Yamada is on TEAM 01 with YouTuber HIKAKIN and former pro player cheeky. The field has 20 teams of three, 60 players total. The tournament runs from 17:00 on Sunday, October 4, 2026, with scrims starting Thursday, October 1. Hiraiwa Kosuke handles play-by-play and Alelu provides commentary.
Yamada is also one of the members of the YouTube channel Yonino Channel, led by Kazunari Ninomiya and featuring Yuichi Nakamaru and Fuma Kikuchi. The channel reached 5 million subscribers on June 19, about 5 years and 2 months after its April 2021 launch. It is the first STARTO ENTERTAINMENT-related YouTube channel to reach that subscriber count.
The two stories cover different sides of the same period. One places Yamada in a competitive Apex Legends bracket alongside VTubers and streamers. The other places him in a channel that has crossed a subscriber milestone tied to STARTO ENTERTAINMENT. Neither story gives his role in the channel or his own account, and neither states how long he has been involved. What is settled is that he is named on TEAM 01 for the October cup and is listed among the channel's members as of the June milestone.
