Ohio Final Boss Satoyu0704’s TikTok Origin Story
Satoyu0704 Was Making Videos For Years Before He Got Famous
TikTokerSatoyu0704, or Ohio Final Boss as he’s usually known, first started posting online in February 2020 on YouTube and quickly moved to Instagram and TikTok, posting his first TikTok on August 18, 2025. However, he didn’t begin to gain traction until two years later when his viewer numbers began to take off. In December 2023, Satoyu was recognized by TikTok Japan asone of the platform’s “Rising Creators of the Year”.
Most of his videos feature Satoyu walking towards the camera in a suit while contouring his face into a cartoonish grin or other expression, akin to an anime villain or hero. The popular TikTok “phonk” music usually plays as Satoyu walks quickly toward the camera. Now, Satoyu incorporates all types of memes and videos into his postings, with plenty of original ideas thrown in as well.
Satoyu0704 Got His Ohio Final Boss Name For Three Reasons (None Of Which Involve Being From Ohio)
Another TikToker Bestowed The Name On Satoyu0704
Satoyu0704 is a Japanese TikToker and none of his content has anything to do with the American state of Ohio, yet he’s called Ohio Final Boss. There are actually three reasons for this moniker (viaKnowYourMeme). For one, TikTok creator @llOnlyOhioll, a now-defunct account, is the one who gave Satoyu the nickname, in partbased on Satoyu starting his live streams by aggressively yelling the Japanese, “Ohayo”, a greeting meaning “good morning”, which also sounds like the “Ohio”.
By referring to Satoyu as Ohio Final Boss, Satoyu became associated with the Ohio meme, suggesting he is some kind of heroic avatar for the state.
The second reason is that Satoyu somehow got himself entwined with another popular meme format, “Ohio memes”. These memes are a running joke online that suggests that Ohio is somehow some kind of formidable place or anthropomorphic opponent. So by referring to Satoyu as Ohio Final Boss, Satoyu became associated with the Ohio meme, suggesting he is some kind of heroic avatar for the state.
The third reason for his name is the “final boss” meme. Initially popularized by “The Romanian King”, it suggests that someone is so stereotypically representative of a place, culture, online forum, or literally anything else, they are the “final boss” (like a video game) of that thing. Therefore, Satoyu is the Ohio Final Boss of the unknowable, super powerful, internet-beloved, but in reality innocuous, state of Ohio. Satoyu has happily embraced this nickname onTikTokand has even added, “Made in Ohio” to his arsenal of catchphrases.
