kuz, also known as k♡♡z, real name Yuri Kuznetsov was an admin of Heyuri and a long time contributor to the site. Joining the site in early 2020, he became the co-admin in May, and by June migrated Heyuri to his own servers. Kuz is known for his unpredictable and eccentric behavior, something he is/was loved for on Heyuri. He created Rule 8 as well as several other important parts of Heyuri, he led the development of "Kokonotsuba", and revived Gurochan and Vidlii in 2021 and 2022. Kuz also runs the Kolyma Network, a controversial webhosting company in Russia.

In 2022 he stepped down as admin and gave his position to Kaguya, saying he had "less time" and "less motivation" but still believed Heyuri had huge potential and was his "favorite website".

Its visible on this chart the effect kuz joining Heyuri had on its activity.

On Heyuri

^{Main article: Heyuri}

Kuz is regarded as one of the most influential users on Heyuri in its history, and the vast majority of Heyuri's lifespan took place under his rule. As of yet, he has been the longest reigning admin, ruling for just over 2 years. Under his initial ownership Heyuris activity went up by 600%, peaking in July. He asserts this is mostly because of him inviting tripfags from 9chan, although a wide variety of factors are likely contributing to this. During his ownership, Heyuri experienced its "golden age", a timespan which usually is thought to have lasted from May to August 2020. Shortly after this, Heyuri entered the dark ages.

Kuz first posted to Heyuri (at least publicly) on May 1st, 2020, when he created the historic "tomo thread".
