Ranboo created his channel on January 30, 2020. He attributed not wearing the glasses anymore to personal discomfort and inconvenience caused by them, and has worn them sparingly since these posts. On January 15, 2022, he posted pictures of himself without his glasses on Twitter, Instagram and his YouTube community tab for the first time. On November 26, 2021, at the end of his stream for the anniversary of the first National Ranboo Day, he pulled down his glasses and revealed his eyes for the first time. He also requested at the time for fans to only use pictures of him with the mask and glasses for their profile pictures, but a few months after his eye reveal he said that he no longer minds. This means he will continue to wear his mask and glasses even after the reveals. In July 2021, he opened up about his struggle with severe facial dysmorphia, a mental health condition affecting a person's perception of their face and causing distress, saying that it is the main reason for covering his face and that he would not be able to edit his videos without doing so. In July 2021, he planned to do a full face reveal at 5 million subscribers, but in his Ranboo Recap video posted September 2022, he stated that this was no longer his plan. He does this as part of his online persona, and also to protect his privacy. On camera, Ranboo wears a black and white mask, and previously, sunglasses and gloves. However, this article uses he/him pronouns for consistency. The following day he confirmed that he identifies as non-binary. On October 12, 2022, he updated his pronouns on his Instagram and Twitter accounts to he/they. On April 24, 2022, he came out as gay and unlabeled.

He moved to the UK in March 2022 and currently lives in Brighton. On June 3, 2021, he graduated from high school. He used to live in the San Francisco Bay Area, as confirmed by one of his now former main Discord admins & Twitch moderators after he posted a picture of the Twitch headquarters, located in San Francisco. Ranboo was born in the United States on November 2, 2003.
