LittleKuriboh



Martin Billany, better known by his screen name LittleKuriboh, is the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series, a parody of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. Each 'episode' of the Abridged Series parodies the original Yu-Gi-Oh! equivalent, and is typically four to six minutes per episode (though episode length has steadily increased with time). The Series is made using clips from the original series while voicing most of the characters and placing in sound effects, music clips, well-known movie/television quotes, etc.. LittleKuriboh voices all the Abridged Series characters with the exception of Rebecca Hawkins (and more recently, the voice of "Gary" in the second Abridged movie"). Rebecca and Gary are voiced by LittleKuriboh's fiancé Abigail ("Abi"), better known by her screen name Safty.

Biography
LittleKuriboh is from Britain and currently 25 years old. His likes and hobbies include the rock band Devo and playing video games.

LittleKuriboh started a LiveJournal where he stated in his first entry that he's "nobody special" and that he is a little ashamed of his love for the anime Yu-Gi-Oh!. He later began creating and uploading anime music videos on YouTube. Soon afterwards he created Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. Despite the videos being well received, LittleKuriboh was not listed among the top subscribed channels, although his popularity was enough to earn a spot.

YouTube eventually began taking down some of LittleKuriboh's videos for copyright infringement, causing him to set up new pages and an account on Dailymotion. In response to episode one being taken down, he posted a live performance of Episode One of the Abridged Series. Using no clips to avoid copyright infringement, the video was of himself voicing the entire episode, allowing fans to see what he looked like for the first time. Shortly after creating the Abridged Movie, LittleKuriboh had his account suspended on YouTube. Messages were sent to YouTube to have his account returned. Shortly afterwards it was, and LittleKuriboh was given his rightful spot amongst the top subscribed.

On August 11, 2007, LittleKuriboh asked Abigail to marry him on a public YouTube video. She accepted and the two are now engaged. Shortly after the video was posted, his account was suspended again. It is unknown why his account was suspended or what infractions his video with him and Abigail had or if his Youtube account will be reinstated again for the second time in just over 5 months. However, LittleKuriboh has made a new account under the name LittleKuriboh0.
