Welcome to Kyusai! The newest leading name in gaming, tech and esports coverage. We’re a fully independent venture bringing you the hottest news and long-form features, established by some of the biggest and most well-respected names in the industry.
Kyusai is not just another legacy media front. Instead, we’re innovating from day one with how we deliver stories to our readers. We’re mobile first, lightweight, and purpose-built for social media discourse. We don’t just believe in having our say, we actively encourage you to engage with and challenge us.
The current media landscape is suffering. You’ve seen the unfortunate news of journalists being laid off, divisions shuttering, and outlets making ill-informed and short-sighted decisions against the end reader. Kyusai stands against this and says that it’s time for salvation.
Today’s gaming, tech and esports readers don’t want to suffer through websites plagued with filler and bloated with advertising. The Kyusai team understands this. Simply put, if it distracts from the story, it will not be making the cut. If a story cannot be said in a few words then it isn’t good enough for us. We don’t believe in wasting your time.
You can count on Kyusai

At Kyusai, we believe that less is more. We have an all-killer, no filler mentality because we’re avid gamers, tech fans, and esports enthusiasts ourselves. Our name is more than just a brand, it’s a promise. It’s Japanese for salvation or rescue, and that’s what we’re delivering here. To save you from the wreckage of the current media landscape.
With that said, we believe in the power of our Kyusai editorial team, and want you to become familiar with who we are and what we can do.
Aleksha McLoughlin – Editor-in-Chief: I’ve been in the gaming, tech, and esports industry for over 10 years, having worked for the biggest names in this business. I’ve also seen things change for the worst in this time, and that’s where Kyusai stands defiant. The team is raising the bar, and we believe our readers deserve better.
Josie Clark – Esports Editor: I’ve been involved in esports all my life. I know what readers want because I know what I want to see; all the outlets out there are moving away from being reader first, and that’s wrong, Kyusai is aiming to fix that, and I for one am extremely excited to see what happens next, we’re taking over.
Em Stonham – Social Lead: Kyusai is the first project to have me feeling hopeful about the gaming media landscape in a long time. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to work on this site with, and I am beyond excited to show everyone what we’ve been cooking up.
Sam Smith – Features Editor: When the idea behind Kyusai was explained to me, I felt excited and honored to be involved. The site feels like a breath of fresh air, and I love that we’re not going to compromise our integrity. We’re a group of journalists who serve no master and look forward to bringing you gaming news and analysis – the right way.
Em Flint – Senior Features Writer: As much as I love the games industry, it often isn’t kind to those who work within it. Kyusai wants to change that. Having seen the worst of the industry, our team intends to show you the best. It’s been a long time since I’ve been this excited about games media, and I’m honored to be a part of it.
Bilawal Bashir – Senior Features Writer: After bouncing around for a decade, I’ve found my place with some of the best people in gaming media. Very honored and excited to be a part of Kyusai, the filler-free site!
