Nikita Sophie Sembowski, professionally recognized under the aliases Nihachu and Niki Nihachu, is a German online personality, Twitch streamer, and YouTuber. She is widely known for producing video game commentary content primarily focused on Minecraft, in addition to hosting informal Just Chatting livestreams and uploading personal vlogs. Through her main broadcasting and video platforms on YouTube and Twitch, she has accumulated an aggregate following of more than three million fans as of July 2026.

Sembowski was born in Germany on November 3, 2001. When she was six years old, she and her younger brother were kidnapped by her mother's former husband. The siblings remained with him for a period of three years until they were successfully rescued by their mother alongside her mother's new boyfriend. Later in her youth, at the age of 17, Sembowski moved away from her home in Switzerland to reside in Berlin, where she re-enrolled in school. She is proficient in three languages: German, Spanish, and English.

Her entry into live streaming occurred in 2016 after undergoing a surgical procedure on her knees that rendered her incapable of walking for approximately one year. Her initial digital content consisted of reading German creepypastas and broadcasting gameplay from The Sims. Sembowski's online presence expanded significantly in 2020 following an appearance on the broadcast Love or Host hosted by AustinShow. Her popularity climbed further after she joined the multiplayer Minecraft server Dream SMP on August 6, 2020. She played regularly on the server and actively contributed to its story lore up until its eventual closure. On December 31, 2020, Sembowski transformed her appearance by changing her hair color from blonde to bright pink, a move that gained widespread attention and trended on Twitter's front page.

In 2021, Sembowski entered into a professional agreement with the organization Guild Esports. During that same year, she achieved a sixth-place ranking among the top twenty most popular female content streamers on the Twitch platform. Between 2020 and 2022, she frequently participated in the competitive gaming tournament series MC Championship. As part of these competitive efforts, Sembowski took part in the MCC Pride charity tournament in June 2022 alongside a group of fellow digital creators, helping to raise over $145,000 to benefit The Trevor Project.

Sembowski engaged in several notable public appearances and new creative ventures throughout 2022. On July 1, 2022, she made a stage appearance at the Brighton Dome during TommyInnit's live show, TommyInnit & Friends, sharing the venue with prominent internet creators including jacksepticeye, DanTDM, and JackManifoldTV. Later that autumn, she debuted an original gaming series titled ЯReboot, airing the first episode of the show via livestream on October 26, 2022.

Sembowski continued her professional activity in 2023 through various appearances and brand partnerships. She served as a speaker at the Web Summit event in Lisbon, Portugal, and attended VidCon as one of the featured creators. She also made an appearance in the second episode of Ranboo's horror-themed project Generation Loss: The Social Experiments. Towards the end of 2023, Sembowski signed with the esports team Team Liquid, and she has also worked as a promoter for the personal computer brand Alienware starting in 2023. Regarding her personal life, Sembowski is open about being pansexual and has experienced personal struggles with eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and eisoptrophobia, which is defined as a fear of mirrors or her own reflection.
