Billy Herrington and company are a Niconico persona. Much like Donald McDonald, Shuzo Matsouka, or the characters of INMU, they all have a following and have videos and collaborations centered around them.

Originally, Billy Herrington's "Lords of the Locker Room" videos started as the Eastern equivalent of Rickrolling in 2006/2007, and then it started to be used in MADs. Eventually, Billy himself became aware of the fad, and was invited to a Niconico event, where his famous impersonation of Barack Obama's "Yes We Can" speech originates. You can even buy a figma of him, if you want.

Other characters include:
-Van Darkholme (The "Fuck You" Asian Dude)
-Kazuya Kiyoshi (blonde dude with the goofy smile and the strip scene)
-Chavez Obama (the guy in the intro of Knaked Knights, blaring horns in background)
-Mark Wolfe (Other fellow in Lords of the Locker Room, seen eating a banana on a washing machine. Also does typewriting)
-The sumo guy
-The Brazilian dancer/stripper
-The bodybuilding robot Alexander Vishnevsky
-The "You!" guy with the long chin from Playing with Fire 2
-The "Why don't you get fucked." guy from Playing with Fire 2
-The "Its a Loan!" Lazy brother of Billy from Playing with Fire 2
-The Puppy Dog
-The Baby Face
-Christian, the "Watch and Enjoy" male model
-The maid, the only (usually) female character
-The submissive wrestler who is often dominated by said maid
