She is known for her YouTube channel, which has over 2.5 million subscribers and over 226 million video views.[1]Early lifeAkana's father was an officer in the United States Marine Corps as she grew up.[2] Her family moved every few years to a new state or country.[3] On Valentine's Day 2007, Akana's 13-year-old sister, Kristina, died by suicide.[4] Several months after her sister's death, Akana watched Margaret Cho perform on a Comedy Central special and laughed for the first time since the suicide. She began to see laughter as a means of trying to move on with her life and decided to seriously pursue comedy.[5] Akana is very vocal about her sister's suicide and is a strong advocate for suicide prevention. In 2013, Akana uploaded a YouTube video called "please don't kill yourself" where she explains how it felt for her to have a family member die by suicide.[6] In that same year, she released a book called Surviving Suicide which contains her journal entries from the two years after her sister's death.[7] CareerAkana first started performing comedy at the age of 19 but ended up switching her platform to YouTube in 2011 after experiencing massive panic attacks and anxiety before going on stage.[5] Akana has since resumed performing stand-up. YouTubeIn 2014, Akana formed a comedy music duo called Cat Benatar with fellow comedian and writer Megan Rosati.[8] Akana creates both comedy and documentary YouTube videos.[9] In 2014, Akana was listed on New Media Rockstars Top 100 Channels, ranked at #72.[10] In that same year, Akana decided to focus more on her skills as a director and attempted to make one short film a month.[11] While she did not reach her goal of 12, she did make six short films which were received well by her YouTube audience. Akana starred in all of her short films and has starred in various other short films produced by other YouTube stars. Akana has since continued to create short films.[12] One of her short films, titled Miss Earth was partially financed by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard's production company, New Form Digital. It was part of the 2014 Incubator, a series to showcase and produce original stories by YouTube Creators and filmmakers.[13][14][15] Miss Earth was later adapted into a web series retitled Miss 2059 and released on Verizon's go90 app in June 2016, with a second season released in late 2017.[16][17][18][19][20] Akana executive produced and starred as the lead role in the original comedy-drama web television series Youth & Consequences, created by Jason Ubaldi and released in March 2018 on YouTube Red. Film and televisionIn 2011, Akana appeared in the TV series Awkward. In that same year, she also appeared as an extra in Katy Perry's Last Friday Night music video.[21] In 2015, she appeared in the films Ant-Man and Kids vs Monsters. Akana starred in a scripted video series distributed via Snapchat, titled SnapperHero.[22] The series was sponsored by AT&T.[22] In 2016, Akana appeared alongside Sally Field in the indie comedy film Hello, My Name Is Doris, written by Michael Showalter.[23] That same year, she also appeared in a short Star Wars fan film called Hoshino.[24] She has a recurring role in the Comedy Central show Corporate.[25] Other venturesIn 2015, Akana released a clothing line called Ghost & Stars, which features several cat-themed designs as well as formal dresses, leggings, and a variety of T-shirts.[26] Akana also hosts the podcast Explain Things to Me with fellow comedian Brad Gage where the two interview experts in various fields about their work.[27] In 2017, Akana's book titled So Much I Want to Tell You: Letters to My Little Sister was published. The book describes Akana's struggles and experiences growing up and offers advice to her late sister.[28] Critical receptionIn reviewing her video, “Why Guys Like Asian Girls" (which references "Yellow Fever", a term for an Asian fetish)[29] Cate Matthews of The Huffington Post wrote: "A step-by-step takedown of 'yellow fever' or the desire to date Asian women often accompanied by bizarre, offensive attempts to do so, could start the healing. Luckily for us, YouTuber Anna Akana was more than up to the video-making task."[30] In reviewing her video, "How to Deal with a Breakup", MTV wrote: "In this sketch, comedian Anna Akana envisions the flurry of activity inside the cranial command centre of a newly single dumpee."[31] Deadline referred to Akana as "a prolific online creator whose channel boasts 60 million views and 900,000 subscribers, and last year wrote and starred in her own narrative feature Riley Rewind, scoring a none-too-shabby 20M views online."[23]Personal lifeIn 2018 Akana came out as a bisexual woman during her acceptance speech for a Streamy Award. On social media she wrote it was the first time she came out publicly as bisexual.[32] FilmographyFeature films
