The YouTube channel 'Kaba Channel,' operated by YouTuber Yuuya, has mysteriously become inaccessible as of March 19, 2025. When users attempt to visit the URL, they are met with a message stating, "this page is unavailable." The reasons behind this sudden unavailability remain unclear, but it is notable that Jukiya, a former popular YouTuber with a checkered past, frequently featured in the channel's videos.
Jukiya has a history of controversies dating back to a June 2023 collaboration with fellow YouTuber Nakamachi JP, during which the two men drew significant backlash for persistently asking women about their bust sizes and even attempting to measure them without consent. This behavior led to widespread outrage online and significantly affected Jukiya's public image. By August of the same year, the situation worsened when Jukiya made sexually suggestive inquiries directed at young girls, further amplifying public discontent.
In light of his controversial actions, Jukiya faced extensive criticism, resulting in the deletion of three of his channels, including both a main and a sub channel, in May 2024. According to reports, Jukiya received warnings from YouTube that contributed to an attempt to re-establish his presence with a new channel in September 2024; however, this was swiftly deleted after just one day. This trajectory has led many to speculate that Jukiya is now in a permanent ban situation on YouTube.
Despite the tumultuous history, Kaba Channel was launched in December 2024, distinguishing itself by not showcasing inappropriate content. Nevertheless, Jukiya was still perceived as the face of the channel, and it quickly garnered a substantial following, amassing over 190,000 subscribers before its current inaccessibility.
Jukiya's influence in the digital landscape continues even after losing YouTube as a platform. Instead of ceding to defeat, he has shifted his focus to subscription-based platforms such as 'DMM Online Salon' and 'Fantia,' where he runs exclusive content and merchandise sales. Some offerings mirror his former YouTube content while including explicit material catering to adults, with subscription fees ranging from 980 to 1400 yen depending on content filters, thus maintaining a connection with his audience.
In February 2025, Jukiya appeared in a video by YouTuber Kanock Star, where he revealed encouraging news regarding his subscription numbers, asserting that he continues to earn significantly more than during his active YouTube career. He ultimately disclosed the recent purchase of a luxury car valued at 35 million yen as evidence of his thriving business.
While some might view the closure of Kaba Channel as a severe setback for Jukiya, sources suggest that it may not lead to widespread damage for him. The diversification of his content across multiple platforms suggests that he has adapted effectively to the new landscape, allowing him to retain and grow his audience despite previously facing substantial scrutiny.
In retrospect, the unpredictable nature of YouTube as a platform for creators becomes apparent. The measures taken against channels that violate community guidelines reflect a broader trend within the streaming ecosystem, prompting both fans and creators to reevaluate their approaches. Whether Jukiya's future holds a more stable footing remains to be seen.
Kaba Channel's situation highlights pivotal questions concerning content moderation on digital platforms, the persistence of influencers amidst controversy, and the ongoing evolution of audience engagement in a rapidly transforming digital environment.
