In case you aren't aware, Teriyaki Papii is a content creator who uploaded several humorous skits onto his profile. Though he was on TikTok for a while prior to the 2020 pandemic, he began gaining popularity around April of 2020 during which many people were stuck in their homes swiping through their phones and social media. His TikTok currently has over 3.5 million followers and many of his 2020 videos have reached well over a million views if not upwards of six million.

But while he once posted almost daily on TikTok, he no longer posts at all. His last video was uploaded on Dec. 29, 2020. Since then, Teriyaki Papii has not posted any new TikToks and has seemingly disappeared from all of his social media accounts.

His last known social media post was made on Twitter on Jan. 17, 2021. Ironically, it was a retweet of another user who claimed that at the time, Teriyaki Papii was one of the most popular creators on TikTok.

Naturally, his many fans have been clamoring for an explanation. As recently as 2023, people have commented on Teriyaki's old 2020 videos and posts asking what happened and whether or not he's okay. He has not responded to any such comments, prompting plenty of rumors on how he's doing.
