OYAMA

The Timeline

Introduced to Pokemon in Japan in the late ‘90s.
Sold my first Pokemon cards on ebay in the early 2000s.
Started editing and posting (non-Pokemon) videos 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, scaling multiple businesses from startup to $1B+ valuations.
Hosted 70+ episodes of a small-time health & wealth podcast from 2017-2019.
Rediscovered Pokemon cards early 2024 and got hooked.
Started uploading Buyer POV videos to YouTube as Oyama’s Trading in June 2024.
Spent tens of thousands on cards before recognizing, “I can make this hobby fund itself.”
Grew it through passion and obsession to a $10k+/mo profit side hustle while working a 9-5.
Quit corporate to transition to full-time focus on the business in April 2026.
