As per the request of the Kiwi chat, I've decided to create a writeup about this very exceptional papercraft artist
Introduction:
Tobyn Jacobs is a 19 year old papercraft artist who specializes in making exceptionally weird and autistic projects, such as covering entire rooms of his house with anime pictures or making giant, building-sized pictures of his waifu.
He has recently gained popularity due to these projects going viral all over social media, one of his videos even being mockingly featured on the front page of this very forum.
Background:
Tobyn Jacobs was born October 3rd 2002 into a wealthy family.
His parents are an older WMAF couple. Tobyn's father Jim Jacobs is a famous composer known for creating the musical Grease. His mother is Karyn Kobayashi who (just like her son) works for a crypto company.
If we go off of the Wikipedia article, Jim was at the ripe age of 60 when he fathered Tobyn.
There sadly isn't much activity from Toby before 2017, however from what I could gather he tried and failed at becoming an AMV maker, a history channel and a niche subculture channel.
Crypto:
Being from a rich background however isn't Toby's only source of wealth. Crypto is most likely where he made the money he needed in order to bankroll these extravagant projects.
Besides moonlighting as a papercraft autist he works as a "dream director" for the Mexican crypto company Blockventures (Archive), specifically for their BlockVentures Jr. division.
In the following clip you can see him speak at their CXC 2018 conference:
Sayaka Maizono:
Toby is absolutely obsessed with the character Sayaka Maizono from the Japanese visual novel Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. He has seemingly devoted his life in every single aspect to his waifu. Words cannot explain this man's obsession, so I'll let Toby explain it for himself:
He has created a cardboard cutout of Sayaka which he takes on "dates" all over San Diego to places such as In-n-Out Burger and random clothing stores.
One of Toby's greatest accomplishments is however declaring his mansion a "Church of Maizono" and going as far as putting up a huge sign in the front advertising it.
So, at this point some of you curious Kiwis might be wondering "Jeez, if the outside of his house looks like that, then what the fuck is going on inside?" Well... let's just see..
*oh*
Well, it seems as if good ol' Toby completely covered a few rooms inside of his house ground to ceiling in pictures of Sayaka. Yes, even the bathroom.
You might be thinking "Well, that's psychotic, but at least he keeps it at home!" Hahaha... wrong.
Toby likes to create gigantic pictures of sayaka that he then displays at random public places, some of which are as big as half of a tennis court.
Here is a video demonstating one he made in his driveway:
Another way that Toby's obsession shows is his hatred for the character Leon Kuwata, going as far as to put his face on the stairs of his house so he can step on him and making cardboard cutouts of him to beat up. The reason for this excessive hatred is that (Spoiler for Danganronpa) Leon murders Sayaka in the game.
He even went as far as making a cutout of him to karate kick.
Toby has commisioned art of himself with Sayaka where he looks oddly similar to a fellow lolcow YandereDev.
Lastly it seems that one of Toby's associates had written a fanfic about Toby and Sayaka. (Archive)
V-Tubers
I'm going to preface this by saying I don't know much about vtumors and no, I don't give a fuck either.
Besides worshipping his waifu Sayaka, Toby has took a liking to worshipping vapid corporate vtubers too.
There are also a lot of other random vtuber things he did so I'll just let the pics speak for themselves:
Misc. Findings:
Toby has created a whole army of absurd "protectors" to protect his house from "invaders"
He created a giant cutout of Samsung Sam which he built in a random parking lot. The result is something that looks like something straight out of a giantess comic.
He created the subreddit r/maizono (Archive) where he pleads people to clear Sayaka's reputation. (Archive)
He owns an array of printers to print out these mega builds
He had an interview with some trashy otaku website (Archive)
He has a full arsenal of Sayaka themed BB guns. (Identified by @TypicalJuly2022Acct and @Apis Mellifica as a Red Ryder 4.5mm BB Rifle with the Colt being a 4.5mm licensed BB gun too)
Even his LinkedIn page is Sayaka themed!
Toby has published a book on Amazon (Archive) about Super Smash Bros. Melee titled "Art of Melee -SSBM: Super Smash Bros Melee"
He actually has a pretty decent talent for making actual paper sculptures, but instead he spends his time making drivel like Sayaka rooms.
