Kyoton-9

Kyoton-9 (born June 13) is a former Keynotathlon creator who joined YouTube on January 1, 2018. He is best known for creating his Keynotathlon franchise on YouTube, but has also created a few camps as well.

On 14 July 2025, he switched accounts to 10seyak and unlisted over half of his videos, though some series had a mix of unlisted and public videos, due to personal reasons. More videos were unlisted on approximately 3 September 2025, including all remaining Keynotathlon videos after day 3 of Bowserhexacontathlon.

Series

Keynotathlon

The Keynotathlon franchise was the flagship franchise of Kyoton-9, with series consisting of color contestants competing in multiple events. It is based on Mariobrosaa Productions's Keynotathlon.

The franchise started at the beginning of 2018 with Colorsathlon, based on Mariobrosaa Productions's Keynoticosathlon. The first four episodes of the series were made in PowerPoint, with all subsequent episodes being made in Keynote. Colorsathlon finished within just two weeks, being followed by three more series: Colorsathlon 2, Bowserhexacontathlon and Bedtefpentacontathlon. However, there were very long gaps between these series due to other interests, and eventually all of these were cancelled.

The fifth series and second completed series was Bedtefhexacontathlon, which had technically 57 events and lasted from August 2022 to October 2024. The final series, Keynotenneacontathlon, was among the largest Keynotathlons to ever be made, with 70 contestants competing in 90 events. It was stopped at Day 38, which was the last day before the channel move.

Camps

Battle for Rainbow Gem City

Battle for Rainbow Gem City was Kyoton-9's first successful camp, lasting from 23 September 2024 to 18 January 2025. It was not his first attempt at making one, however, as he had previously attempted at a Nintendo-themed camp in 2018. Contestants could sign up as either object show characters, Keynotathlon colors or Pokémon. The camp started off with 30 contestants, but the total number increased to 34 through debuting.

BFRGC was largely inspired by BFRP NEO, since both camps had a point-based system for eliminations and levelled items. Even though the initial attempt of a BFRP-styled camp initially started well on the surface, the camp had numerous errors mostly related to items that disrupted its flow. Eventually, a massive rant sent by Transparent Magenta (Viogenta) in Kyoton-9's DMs led to the camp's cancellation, as Transparent Magenta's elimination was part of the normal elimination system and not an error as she claimed.

Competitive Clash for Keynote Resort

Competitive Clash for Keynote Resort was Kyoton-9's second camp, co-created by Kyoton-9 and Ornect after BFRGC's cancellation. It started off with 40 (currently 41) contestants. The rules were similar to BFRGC, but a major difference was that contestants with Discord now use submission boxes instead of DMs to make organization much easier. As a result, errors have declined significantly in compared to BFRGC.

This camp ended after 17 episodes, as part of the channel move.

Mini-TWOWs

Twenty Syllables for Total Success

Twenty Syllables for Total Success (TSTS) was Kyoton-9's first mini-TWOW, lasting from 1 January to 8 March 2025. It was created in response to BFRGC's first cancellation, and was based on Realm of Fifty Characters, with responses being converted to points and contestants submitting responses. Only ten contestants competed in this camp, however. KlondlikeLXIII won the series with 370,763 points.

One Sentence of Redemption

One Sentence of Redemption was Kyoton-9's second mini-TWOW, created after TSTS was finished. It lasted from 9 March to 22 May 2025, and had 13 contestants. It was abruptly cancelled after OSOR 9B due to the Waluigigate voting scandal, which involved Wild Waluigi heavily manipulating the votes to eliminate KlondlikeLXIII starting from 5A.

JKLM

JKLM was the third iteration of Kyoton-9's mini-TWOW series, being made in collaboration with LuxuryLapras. Initially, progress was supposed to continue after the channel move, but after LuxuryLapras cut down to one series on 20 August, JKLM was cancelled.

Trivia

• He had his own personal website at keynotathlon.neocities.org, which became outdated due to the launch of the Keynotathlon Wiki.
• Kyoton could either be considered as the second or third Keynotathlon creator, since weee50's series more closely resemble object shows due to the plot and event conventions, making them difficult to classify as Keynotathlons.
• Despite hosting object show camps, he has lost interest in the general object show community, due to the general community (outside of camps) being associated with toxicity, immaturity and vandalism on wikis.
• Since 2 May 2025, his school has used the GoGuardian filtering software to block non-educational videos on YouTube, causing all of his videos to be blocked as entertainment or gaming, along with other Algicosathlons and Keynotathlons. Kyoton has criticized this measure as an insane form of internet censorship in schools, due to the lack of political or sensitive elements in the content.
• His final name under the account, Kyoton-9, was carefully crafted based on multiple meanings:
  • "Kyoton" comes from six of the twelve letters of "Keynotathlon", chosen for their distinguishability. It is based on the derivation of Ash Ketchum's name from his Japanese name Satoshi. It also alludes to the city of Kyoto, considered the cultural capital of Japan, due to his interest in Japanese culture (especially video games and TV graphics).
  • The "9" part is intended to be a disambiguator to avoid confusion with users who shared the "Kyoton" name. It was chosen since it was:
    • the number of Keynotathlons that precede Colorsathlon, if weee50's series count as such
    • Cirno's number, referencing Nazrininator (the creator of the Battle for Magic series), who inspired many of the challenges in Mariobrosaa Productions's Battle for Regal Kingdom
