Atakan Özyurt is an internet personality known as one of the faces of the Kafalar channel, which started from short videos and grew on YouTube. He ran the channel with Fatih Yasin and Bilal Hancı, and the trio appeared in cinema as well as in digital content. In spring 2026 it was announced that the Kafalar team had split up.

His path changed when he met Fatih Yasin, who was known for his Vine videos during the university years; a Vine they shot together was their first step to becoming social-media names.

Standing out with a prank-and-mockery video concept they called Kışkırtma, the channel began to take off in 2017 and won the Best Influencer award at the 46th Golden Butterfly Awards.

In cinema he took roles in the films Kafalar Karışık and Enes Batur Hayal mi Gerçek mi?; Kendinden Kaçak, a follow-up to Kafalar Karışık, was shot in 2022. He completed his studies in the Medical Laboratory department of Arel University. On 23 April 2026 Fatih Yasin announced the team's split in a statement on his own YouTube channel.
