k♡♡z during Heyuri's "golden age", wielding his mighty b&hammer!

kuz, also known as k♡♡z, real name Yuri Kuznetsov is a former administrator 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.^[1]^[2] Kuz is known for his unpredictable and eccentric behavior, something he is/was loved for on Heyuri. He created Rule 8^[3] as well as several other important parts of Heyuri, he led the development of "Kokonotsuba", and revived Gurochan^[4] and Vidlii^[5] in 2021 and 2022. Kuz also runs the Kolyma Network^[6], a controversial^[7] webhosting company in Russia.

On April 25th, 2022, he stepped down as admin and gave his position to Kaguya^[8], saying he had "less time" and "less motivation" but still believed Heyuri had huge potential and was his "favorite website".^[8]

Personal life

Kuz is married and lives in Tennessee, however he has repeatedly said he plans to move to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, an island owned by Turkey, leading many to believe he plans to have buttseks with Kaguya.

Kuz runs a blog at kuz.lol where he has wrote about his life, his websites, and his views.

Kuz is a fan of Elvis, judging by some of his online profile pictures and his Vidlii channel.^[9]

Kuz is well known on several sites outside of Heyuri, for both good and bad reasons.^[10]^[11]^[12]

Prior to Heyuri, kuz was the owner of a Russian textboard called 9channel, and apparently appeared on TV in Russia several times.

On Heyuri

^{Main article: Heyuri}

Kuz is a important figure on the site, even after his resignation, as 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^[13]. He asserts this is mostly because of him inviting tripfags from 9chan^[14], 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, due to a schism between him and lolico, Heyuri entered the dark ages.

Kuz first posted to Heyuri (at least publicly) on May 1st, 2020,^[15] when he created the historic "tomo thread".
