Meet Mori Hamako. In Japan she's known as the Gamer Grandma and for a good reason.

Hamako also has her own YouTube channel called - wait for it: "Gamer Grandma". The thumbnail icon of her channel show the words "GG" in pink. Nice.



On her channel, you'll find numerous videos of her playing some pretty popular video game titles. .

Oh, by the way, her channel is close to hitting the 100,000 mark for subscribers. She had started the channel in 2014.



But Hamako, unlike her confident in game persona is extremely humble and can at times be shy in real life. When some of her videos went viral in Japan recently, she was surprised. This prompted her to release a video thanking her fans for their support.

"Hello there, thank you so much for the support and your comments. I wished I could reply to each and everyone of you but it'll take me ages to type out a reply through my keyboard. So this is why I recorded a video of myself. Thank you again for your support."

Now, Hamako has been gaming for - wait, for it - 38 years. That's close to four decades of experience!



The Tokyo born got introduced to the wonderful world of video games in 1981 through the Cassette Vision console. Next, she got accustomed to the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) console aka the Famicon.



Among the memorable titles she has played are F1 Race, The Legend of Zelda, and Dragon Quest.



By the late 80's she switched to the PC and enjoyed playing Evil Holy Sword Necromancer and Kato Chan and Ken Chan (J. J. and Jeff in the West). When the 90's rolled by, she started playing the PlayStation.

These days she mostly enjoys her videos games on PC.

Hamako started uploading videos of herself playing video games when The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released. Her reason was that she wanted to share the joy of gaming with others.



Unlike other gamers, Hamako regularly researches on the games she plays and frequently takes down notes as she games.



Now that's a true gamer.
