ABOUT MARGARET LILLIAN ADAMS

Born Margaret Lillian Adam and better known by her internet name Magibon, this YouTube vlogger and noted Japanophile has over 130,000 subscribers. Many of her extremely brief videos are silent and simply display her face; others feature her attempts to speak or sing in Japanese.

She posted her first YouTube video, "Me Doing Nothing," on July 2, 2006. The post quickly accumulated 1.5 million views.

Many of her YouTube videos begin with the Japanese words "Minna-san, Konnichiwa! Magibon Desu" and end with the English phrase "Bye bye."

She spent her childhood in West Palm Beach, Florida, and relocated to Pennsylvania in her early twenties. She went on to spend time in Japan.

Japanese media outlets have compared Magibon to the American-born, Japanese-based model and singer Leah Dizon .
