OYAMA

A guy who grew up on Pokemon, grew out of the cards (but stayed close to the IP and games), then opened an ETB on a whim in February 2024 and became totally obsessed again.

I combine that lifelong passion for Pokemon with my experience in business, content, personal finance, and other collecting hobbies, to inform my approach to the hobby and the content I create about it.

Introduced to Pokemon in Japan in the late ‘90s.
Started producing videos and music in the mid-late 2000s.
Played Pokemon Showdown and mainline games throughout the 2010s.
Made a variety of mostly-unsuccessful YouTube channels from 2008-2012.
Started working in hypergrowth tech in 2015, helping scale multiple businesses from startup to $1B+ valuations.
Hosted 70+ episodes of a small-time health & wealth podcast from 2017-2019.
Started uploading Buyer POV videos to YouTube as Oyama’s Trading in June 2024.
Grew it through passion and focus and obsession to a $10k/mo net profit business.

Grading and Vending Advice

“Recently got back my first PSA submission grades [and] I hit an 82% gem rate! Thank you for your videos and the meetings, it’s helped so much with grading cards.” - Ralph

Youtube and Content Advice

“I met with Oyama to get advice on YouTube channel growth. He had me first do a deep dive on what I wanted to get out of the channel so we both had an understanding on where I was coming from, and where I wanted to go. He gave incredible insight on YouTube analytics, video format, how to set up thumbnails to get the most views, and how to keep those folks coming back. I highly recommend a session with Oyama if you’re looking to take your Pokémon YouTube channel to the next level!” - Grant
