Early life
The original idea came from two childhood friends from Japan who started uploading gameplay videos in 2015. It was simple: share their Minecraft and Roblox adventures, add a dash of story, and see what sticks
Career
-
2015: Japanese channel begins, grows fast.
-
2020: December 27 marks the launch of the English channel—same gameplay, now dubbed for overseas fans Fanmaizen.
-
2020s: They rack up astronomical view counts and become iconic in the Minecraft YouTube scene.
A big milestone: on December 15 (year unspecified), Maizen was one of only two Japanese channels featured in a YouTube Japan video celebrating creators who’ve hit 1 trillion Minecraft views Fanmaizen.
They’ve also stepped into the world of merch and crossovers: collabs with Tokyo Tower (May 15, 2022 and April 28, 2023), Shimamura Group (August 2022)—plus an official manga titled Adventures of the Maizen Sisters

Others
-
Name origin: Maizen comes from combining Maikkii (Mikey) and Zenichi (JJ) .
-
The “Sisters” part? Odd since both characters are male and unrelated—but that’s just part of the quirky charm .
-
Telop captions (on-screen subtitles) are a cultural staple in Japan—I love that they kept them in the dubs.
-
Mikey is a turtle: optimistic, sometimes gullible, loyal—even reckless at times. JJ’s more grounded—often the strategic one.
-
English dubs are performed by voice actors—Mikey often sounds like a girl, but is male; JJ gets a range of interpretations depending on the language
