But it seems like Ninja was himself unaware of how much famous he exactly is. Probably that’s why he was left astonished recently after watching an episode of the hit TV series Cobra Kai.

Ninja makes a cameo in Netflix hit TV show Cobra Kai!

Cobra Kai is a very popular martial arts comedy-drama series while being a direct sequel to the original The Karate Kid film. Initially, it was launched on YouTube Red for the first two seasons, and after that, it moved to Netflix. Just a few days ago, the fifth season was released amid rave reviews on the platform.

But what’s interesting about the latest season is that it also features an interesting scene that is directly connected to Ninja. The streamer himself wasn’t aware about it either. Thanks to a user’s tweet on social media, the Fortnite gamer was escalated after knowing about the epic sequence from Cobra Kai’s fifth season.

Ninja shared a clip from the TV show in which the characters are having a conversation with each other. It all starts when one of them starts talking about the immense amount of money spent by the other individual. “Seeing how you’re throwing money around. New apartment, new car,” says the character.

To this, another character suddenly calls out Tyler’s name for making his point, by saying “Ninja-level gaming station.” However, the scene takes the streamer’s reference game even further when the other character says that “Ninja’s setup is just beyond” and far better than his own. Basically, he wanted to say that the Fortnite gamer is extremely rich while having the best possible gaming setup.

Watching this scene playing out in this hilarious fashion made Ninja extremely happy and emotional. It was very obvious as well, seeing his tweet and reaction. According to him, it’s the first time that his name has been used in a TV series or any show. And seeing it in a series like Cobra Kai felt like an icing on the cake altogether.

Tyler’s fans can’t stop praising the streamer!

Moreover, his fans were also delighted to see him being turned into a pop-culture reference. Have a look at some of the best reactions below:
