Pokimane—stands out. The 29-year-old Moroccan Canadian creator rose to fame playing titles like _Fortnite_, _League of Legends_, and _Valorant_ on Twitch, where her [audience](https://www.twitch.tv/pokimane "undefined") of 9.4 million makes her the platform’s most-followed female streamer and one of the top 20 most-followed overall. But Anys has long been thinking beyond the console. In addition to gameplay, she shares lifestyle content—including travel vlogs and day-in-the-life routines on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@pokimane/videos "undefined"), [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@poki?lang=en "undefined"), and [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/pokimanelol/?hl=en "undefined"), where she’s amassed nearly 20 million followers combined—and chats directly with viewers on Twitch during her streams. She also co-founded the creator collective OfflineTV in 2017, launched the streamer talent agency RTS in 2021, and has dipped a toe into acting, with a cameo in the action-comedy _Free Guy_ and appearances in music videos for artists Bella Poarch and d4vd. _Data and insights powered by #paid_ Imane Anys Is on the 2025 TIME100 Creators List ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299131/pokimane/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299131/pokimane/"},"headline":"Imane Anys","datePublished":"2025-07-09T11:36:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-03T00:51:19.659Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299131/pokimane/","keywords":["Social Media","list","franchise","Magazine","Special Project","sponsorshipblock","Accolades"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf5cb47a7f439d3ae/6998c814a97fc048b9a7480c/TIME100-Creators-2025-Imane-Anys-052.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf5cb47a7f439d3ae/6998c814a97fc048b9a7480c/TIME100-Creators-2025-Imane-Anys-052.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299131/pokimane/","name":"Imane Anys"}}]}] ```
