Youna Kang (born 27 February 1990), better known by her online 3D Virtual YouTuber persona CodeMiko and alias The Technician, is a South Korean-American Twitch streamer and YouTuber. Kang is best known for her live streams on Twitch, interviewing other streamers, content creators and internet personalities as her alter ego persona CodeMiko and for pushing the envelope with regards to interactivity in VTuber technology.

Kang created the CodeMiko persona using Unreal Engine, a motion capture suit from Xsens, motion capture gloves from Manus VR and a facial tracking helmet from MOCAP Design. The CodeMiko avatar is composed of 36000 polygons, modelled in Autodesk Maya and textured using Adobe Substance. While Kang originally created CodeMiko alone, the project is now developed by a team consisting of an engineer, an artist / animator / rigger, a publicist, a personal assistant and a manager.

Kang came up with the idea of CodeMiko while working at Nickelodeon. After being laid off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she decided to pursue streaming full time. Early on, she made around $300 per month from Twitch, which couldn't cover rent.[13] This move was quite risky considering that Kang went into debt to acquire the Xsens Mo-cap suit, in total she accumulated over $20,000 of debt in order to get the setup she needed. She has attributed this debt and her poor risk management to her success:

"I told myself I'm not gonna have a backup. Because if I did have a backup, then I'll give up, if I don't have a backup then you have to make it.".

"The smart choice would have been, 'Let me apply for more jobs that would pay decent,'" - "But I was like, 'You know what, mom and dad? I'm 30, I'm going to become a VTuber.'"

Kang states that, since CodeMiko project has been a success, she can now afford a comfortable living.

Streaming
Kang had her streaming breakthrough in 2021. She has attributed her sudden raise in popularity due to having a viral tweet on Twitter and going viral on r/LiveStreamFails on Reddit.

"Well, well, children in 30's, it's not too late to be a VTuber"
