Héctor Treviño Villegas, known as ZilverK, is a 28 year old Mexican VTuber and streamer who has been creating content since 2013. The channel built its early following through gaming and meme compilations before a spontaneous decision in October 2021 changed everything. Adopting a red rat avatar based on Ugandan Knuckles from Sonic the Hedgehog, ZilverK leaned into chaotic VRChat roleplay and IRL content and the audience response was immediate.
He describes himself simply as a rat who likes to cause chaos, which is accurate. The Ratiza, as his community calls themselves, has grown into one of the most engaged Spanish-language fanbases on the platform. With two million Twitch followers and over eight million on TikTok, ZilverK is the most followed male VTuber on Twitch and the first male to win VTuber of the Year at the ESLAND Awards. The content is loud, chaotic and unapologetically Mexican, and the audience that has gathered around it clearly loves every second of it.
