About Raisa Riikonen

Raisa Riikonen, widely recognized by her online alias Kaisastreams or Kaisa, is an American Twitch streamer, TikTok creator, actress, voice actress, and social media influencer known for her political content. Born on March 11, 1993, in Massachusetts, she is of Finnish, French, and Chinese(Hong Kong) descent, reflecting a multicultural background. Raised in Massachusetts and now based in Los Angeles, Riikonen has leveraged her skills in gaming, cosplay, and on-camera performance to build a substantial following across multiple platforms.

Riikonen’s streaming career took off on Twitch, where she began creating content around 2017, achieving affiliate status by July of that year and earning Twitch Partner status in March 2020. Streaming under the handle @kaisastreams, she broadcasts three to six times weekly, often for extended sessions, focusing on horror and action games like Resident Evil 2, Silent Hill 2, and The Evil Within 2, alongside “Just Chatting” segments. Her Twitch channel has grown to over 60,000 followers by early 2025, complemented by her work as an on-camera talent for brands like Intel, AT&T, and Team Liquid. She is also best friends with fellow Twitch streamer Nezba and the two often collab.

Her digital presence extends beyond Twitch. On TikTok (@kaisastreams), launched in January 2021, she has amassed over 159,000 followers and 3.1 million likes, posting cosplay videos—such as a popular Tsuyu Asui portrayal from My Hero Academia—comedy skits, and gaming tips. Her Instagram (@kaisastreams) showcases modeling and cosplay with 61,000 followers, while her YouTube channel features stream highlights, contributing to her broad online reach. Riikonen’s acting credits include short films like The Things That Haunt Us (2019), Acheron (2018), and Nightcall (2018), blending her gaming persona with narrative performance.

Physically, Riikonen stands at approximately 5 feet 4 inches (175 cm) with a slender, athletic frame—around 100 lbs (48 kg)—brown hair, and brown eyes. Fans admire her for her engaging humor, authenticity, and skillful cosplay, often highlighting her ability to connect through both gaming prowess and creative expression. She is often admired for her great beauty which is highlighted on her Instagram and Patreon.

Her content has moved more into the political field and her streams and TikTok come from a progressive perspective similar to fellow Twitch streamers Hasan Piker and Denims. She gained traction on TikTok with her "uwu" videos which give quick news in a humorous and engaging way. She also uses "thirst traps" to further her political perspective, where she dresses in a bikini or little clothes with a sexy and enticing look. This is done in order to get male attention and ensure they will also read the political or news caption she attached to the picture.

In 2025 she was set to join the content website Passes in her first move to a spicy content site, but scandalous news about the site made her instead open a Patreon where she offers paid tiers where fans can support her content and modeling. Represented by Mythic Talent, her net worth is estimated between $100,000 and $500,000, derived from streaming revenue, sponsorships, and acting gigs, underscoring her success as a multifaceted digital entertainer.
