Mike Karasu416

Karasu416 (also known as Matrix, Karasu, or Mike) is one of the original co-founders of the Moonbase team alongside Kat, Solygrn, and MogKnight prior to the addition of RadGalaxy, and DrunkWario.

He's an enthusiast of anime having seen over 600 series( read as not enough), which you can check out here, and also successfully ran an active anime club in his college days while also partaking in the cosplay community. His favorite genres of music is Punk, Pop-Punk, and hardstyle.

His username was chosen due to Crows being his favorite animal next to dogs, cats and wolves as well as his thorough enjoyment of the movie The Crow, and the characters Karasu from Yu Yu Hakusho and Noein: To My Other self. The 416 was simply tacked in as an inactive twitch user had already claimed the name Karasu.

A t̶e̶r̶r̶i̶b̶l̶e̶ (read as Amazing) driver. Not Kat's little idea, pal! Blames his terribad driving on controller disconnects.

History
Matrix has known Kat since their college days starting around his second year in 2009. Attending college for 3D Modeling and Animation with an interest in Video Game Development, his love for video games wasn't that far off and brought even further forward upon meeting Kat, who had similar internet interests as far as gaming goes.

For a short period of time around 2009-2010 they created a joint youtube called The Pixel Den where they began doing Let's Plays. They produced several ranging from Minecraft on a server Kat ran during their college years, Gauntlet Dark Legacy, Portal 2, and Borderlands before going on indefinite hold to pursue their own paths.

This hiatus was brought about after an extremely long recording session of about 6 hours of Borderlands content, when a friend broke the hard drive while transferring the data to Kat's hard drive in the college cafe.

In 2012, Matrix heard about livestreaming and was enamored with the idea of being able to play games and communicate with viewers in real time and the more interactive community it could bring. As of April 2013 Matrix has begun streaming under the new name of Karasu416 beginning with his first full playthrough being Bioshock Infinite on Twitch.

Since then, and getting Kat's interest into Twitch sparked a bit, they have done numerous streams together off and on until the creation of Moonbase, as Kat's focus was very much on their YouTube channel yet until the better part of late 2015-mid 2016.

Late May Early June 2016, Kat contacted Matrix to join a new venture known as the Moonbase she was about to start up. The rest they say is history. Kappa.
