Nyheen Leonard Jenkins (age 37), better known as The Otaku King is an anime fan and YouTuber who began white knighting Chris in the latter half of 2023. He initially found Chris at Walmart, and recognized him as Chris Chan, despite not knowing much about him. They talked about Sonic games, and due to their pleasant conversation Otaku walked out of it thinking he was a good person. He made multiple videos white knighting Chris, denying his incest with Barb and declaring that he was a good person who isn't getting the help he needed. Eventually, Chris began liking his tweets, and Otaku started making comments giving out new information on Chris, implying that the two of them have now become friends.
Otaku differentiates himself from other white knights by being very ill-informed on Christory, as he seems oblivious to the countless horrible things Chris has done over the years. Also unlike other white knights, who are typically young and don't have much of a life, Otaku has a wife and kids, making it even more perplexing that he spends his time dealing with Chris.
Walmart Sighting
On 4 August 2023, Otaku King went to Walmart, and found Chris in the speaker aisle. Otaku, somehow recognizing Chris despite knowing basically nothing about him, asked Chris what kind of speakers he liked, in order to start a conversation. Chris responds, and brings up seeing Sonic, and the two of them talk about Sonic games for the next 10 minutes. Otaku also recorded a brief video of Chris, which he posted on Twitter with the caption:
Found chris chan (60% sure?) . Cool dude. Talked to him about sonic and shit. Don't seem that bad.[1]

This was quickly added to the CWCki's post-jail sightings page, and Twitter users inquired about the conversation, as it was the first confirmed conversation with Chris since his release from jail. Otaku responded to these posts, notable messages are archived below.
I didn't know if it was him or not. But I did seen sonic stuff on him.
Didn't ask him that. I Pretend I didn't even know him. Didn't want to walk up and be like hey. Chris where you live at! Lol

Chris is just some Confused kid. Thought about being like woody and hanging out with him. He just need a friend. He don't seems that bad.

After a user mentioned Chris's criminal history, Otaku replied:
Damn. He a Criminal. Well I got to do some research again. Been while

White Knight Videos
On 20 August 2023, Otaku released a 7-minute long video about Chris. The first two minutes are dedicated to recounting his Walmart encounter with him, and the rest is about his personal opinion on Chris and his desire to help out and befriend Chris. He says that Chris needs a friend, and just by talking to him Otaku could tell he was lonely, while still condemning his affair with Barb. He says that he's gonna be a "big brother" to him and help Chris.

He needs help. And he needs a friend. To be honest, just from me interacting with him, I could tell that he's lonely, he has no friends, and he needs- he don't have a father figure.

I'm just trying to- I'm trying to help him, okay? Like, he needs- he needs help. So, if- if I see him again. [...] I'm gonna give him and be like "hey man, call me up".

While Otaku's first video painted him as a naive but good intentioned person, his second video revealed him as a straight up white knight, especially since at this point many people had pointed out all of Chris's flaws. He starts off the video by blaming Barb for Chris's flaws. The supposed documentary he watched is most likely Rogue Internet Man's two part series on Bob and Barb, which explains why he knows so much about the two of them and still so little about Chris. He continues to want to help Chris, this time going even further by saying that he's going to bring the "season finale of Chris Chan", comparing Chris's trolling to an anime that goes on for way too long.
