 * WIP means unfinished.

Andrew Stauffer-Evans (born June 7, 2003), using the pseudonym Xavier Jiro and better known as XJ, is a Patagonian YouTuber and actor. Based in Porto Desiderio, Santa Croce, he currently has 620,000+ subscribers on YouTube and 43,000+ Instagram followers. He is known for his "Roblox ninja" persona, which is also used by siblings Randy, Anna and Kyle Evans (born 2004, 2007 and 2009 respectively).

Life
Little is known about Evans's early life. However, he was born in Valdivia, Seeland to Randolph Stauffer, a German Palatine father, and Karen Evans, a Welsh mother.

Career
When he was 10, Evans started uploading various gameplays of Roblox, as well as making comedy skits with his father. Evans later started playing the fictional character Jiro Murasaki, although it received multiple alterations until it gained its current incarnation.

Currently, Evans has an estimated 120,000+ subscribers on YouTube. He still makes Roblox gameplays as well as comedy skits with siblings Randy, Anna and Kyle Evans, who along with Andrew portray themselves as ninjas in the world of Roblox.

Character
Evans plays the role of Xavier Jiro, a ninja fighter and superhero-inspired character wearing a yellow headband and blue T-shirt, and sporting blue hair. He lives in Ninjablox City, a fictional, semi-futuristic (close to cyberpunk) city-state (inspired by Japan) in the planet of Robloxia (which resembles a cuboid Earth).

To protect his ninja identity, Jiro goes undercover as a high school student, Andrew Stauffer (who heavily resembles the real-life Evans), making use of a latex mask, a blonde wig and a black hoodie to disguise his features. Stauffer was introduced in a comic strip that was published in June 2020 on the image/art-sharing website DeviantArt, but he was not revealed as Jiro until September.

Diss tracks
On November 12, 2020, Evans uploaded a skit parodying Borneoan YouTuber Addy's atrocious behavior and doings, titled "XJ Vs. Addy". The skit involved Andrew and his siblings trying to catch the legendary "Bunnymonster", a demonic anthropomorphic rabbit alluding to Adyan's avatar wearing rabbit ears, who appears as a normal human by day (save for the rabbit ears).

The Bunnymonster is sighted transforming and later steals children around town, taking them to the woods where it molests them. Scared by this, Andrew's character hatches a plan to catch the monster and turn it over to the authorities. They succeed, the monster is captured and imprisoned, and Andrew and his siblings celebrate by eating at Andrew's favorite sushi restaurant.

The video received over 1 million views in two weeks. Evans explained that Adyan's atrocities were "beyond irredeemable" which inspired him to make the skit. Various Roblox YouTubers, including fellow YouTuber/DJ/TV host Huw "Robby" Lyons, commended Evans for "portraying the problem about famous YouTubers with dark secrets." Evans's skit was awarded Roblox Video of the Year at the 8th Annual Bloxy Awards in 2021 at it "spoke out for victims of pedophilia, racism and bullying online".

He uploaded a follow-up in the wake of the AddyVegan scandal featuring a villainous caricature of Karen Diekmeyer (That Vegan Teacher) as the antagonist.
