William Glen Harold Herrington (July 14, 1969 - March 2, 2018)
A bisexual American actor and main character in Gachimuchi universe, best known for his gay pants wrestling and gay pornography.
Herrington has become an internet meme among Japan's online communities after a pants wrestling video with Danny Lee was posted on NicoNico in 2007. He is affectionately called "Big Brother" (兄貴 aniki) among the Nico Nico Douga community and later worldwide.
He became famous worldwide after Billy himself revealed that he is one of the fans of the Swedish gaming channel in Twitch.TV named Forsen. After that Billy's fans came to Forsen's channel and played various Gachimuchi music (by donating and playing music). This later spawned a word for calling gachimuchi fans as gachiGASM. In Forsen's birthday in 2016, Billy sent a Happy Birthday clip when he traveled to Greece to Forsen via his Twitter, surprising Forsen and making him laugh. Later Forsen made a birthday clip for Billy. Billy's face later became an emoticon in BTTV addons for Twitch.tv named gachiGASM.
Billy offically visits Japan twice after a Niconico invitation in 2009 and 2012 and an unofficial visit in 2016. He also officially visited China and Taiwan in 2016 and 2018 after a Bilibili invitation.
Billy Herrington passed away in March 2018 following a car accident.
