Katzun (real name Michael Jackson note born June 27, 2000) is a Texan artist and storytime YouTuber similar to Domics, JaidenAnimations, TheOdd1sOut, and Tabbes. Most famous for their expressive art style and detailed animation, they mainly talked about their introversion, experiences from school, or fandoms (including the Furry Fandom, which he is a part of), but also post other animated skits and vlogs. They have done collaborative videos with his contemporaries as well, such as TheOdd1sOut and Wolfychu. He is also openly bisexual and nonbinary (and uses they/he pronouns), and has a separate channel called Katzun's Kloset, dedicated to being a support group for LGBTQ+ teens.

- Art Evolution: Has changed his art style at least eight times since he started the channel, slowly getting more and more detailed as he has grown. His styles in 2020 were far blockier and stylized than in 2018, which was more rounded.This one [their animesque persona] is weird, okay? I literally don't draw like this! I don't know what I was thinking. Look how feminine! This—this is such a woman! I'm not a woman! Like, why are my titties so big? ... It's weird.... This is just so not me.
- Appropriate Animal Attire: Usually their characters are barefoot when drawn in detail; otherwise, they wear Long Pants. Their persona also used to be barefoot, but since 2020 also forgoes their pants, but only occasionally.
- But Not Too Bi: In his 2020 coming out video, he described himself as attracted to "girls, nonbinary people, and, like, two dudes."
- Butch Lesbian: Downplayed. While his persona has always looked somewhat masculine, he has added fashion statements to make himself look more emo, such as nose rings and torn leggings. Somewhat justified after he came out as nonbinary.
- Character Development: He discussed his in a few videos, specifically on dealing with anxiety and being more open about his sexuality and gender.
- Furry Fandom: Has covered this in his video "Why I LOVE Furries." Also is most likely a member, given that they made a merch announcement titled "owo What's This," opening his 2019-2020 videos with "Meow meow kitty litter!", and being subscribed to popular furry YouTubers such as Majira Strawberry and BetaEtaDelota. In May 2020, he admitted it, albeit in a very roundabout way.
- Precision F-Strike: Used twice—though bleeped-out—in "Coming Out Pt. II."
- Reluctant Fanservice Girl: As shown on the cover of "Why I LOVE Furries", at least when he presented femme.
- Shrinking Violet: Discussed his problems with social anxiety in "I'm the Most Introverted Introvert to Ever Introvert." In the video, he talks about wanting to hole up in his room after talking with a friend in real life, and how he pleads for his mother after sleepovers because he's so anxious. He spends more time talking with friends online anyway because the face-to-face barrier is lifted, and the extroverts are "just busy... extroverting."
