Why yes, Nophono (character) is a gigachad.
How could you tell?
Nophono cares.

Nophono is a Gigachad sub-NAS of Gigachad. It is best known for caring about SNCA. Nophono's body is the same as Gigachad's. The differences are that Nophono has no facial features, and always wears a blue suit with a white collar, yellow tie, and yellow handkerchief in his left pocket. It also has black tentacles, which retract from its back.

History[edit | edit source]

Nophono's original thread.

The original Nophono character came from a post on soyjak.party's /x/ board on August 27, 2025.[1] The post featured a copypasta which can be viewed here.

Nophono-ifying (trend)[edit | edit source]

Nophono-ified Markiplier Soyjak

Nophono-ifying is the act of turning a Soyjak into looking like the Nophono character. This can be done by making it grey, removing facial features and giving it the same blue suit Nophono wears. The first time this was done was in a Soybooru post.[2]

Information[edit | edit source]

Nophono cared.

Nophono is a mysterious entity best known fan for caring fan about a lot of extremely obscure shit. Mentions of the entity first appeared in summer 2025 on /x/[1], where a gigachad was spotted reading a book titled shit nophono cares fan about. This event introduced the entity to the public eye and prompted an investigation into its identity. The gigachad was promptly taken into custody, but regrettably prior to his capture had eaten the book in its entirety. As of the time of writing this article, he refuses to comment on the book or to cooperate with the authorities.

Investigators are still working to figure out who Nophono is and why an entire book would be written about shit he cares fan about. Current theories indicate that Nophono is a faceless, extremely tall creature vaguely resembling a gigachad wearing a cheap bright blue suit. It has been spotted using long, shadowy tendrils as a means of attacking perceived threats (just like hecking slenderman). Nophono's lack of any facial attributes means the entity cannot speak, which is most likely where its name originates from (no-phono meaning no-sound). If it wasn't for this weakness, Nophono could perhaps be the only one that could win a debate against Warrior-Z.

It is suspected that Nophono gains in strength by consuming knowledge about shit nobody else cares fan about. The amount of strength gained is inversely proportional to the popularity of the information – for example, mainstream media is unlikely to yield it any substantial amount of power, whereas the various shit listed in this section below is most likely Nophono's primary source.

Current protocols aim at preventing the spread of panic by publicly framing Nophono's name as a term used to describe shit nobody cares about. In addition, recent strategies have involved replacing mentions of shit that nophono could find worth caring fan about with shit many other people care fan about, which would render the information about them useless to the entity. However, several worrying reports have emerged stating that a sect of gigachads who support Nophono is finding ways of getting around the current restrictions. Their intent is to popularize shit related to Nophono, which would give it attention by proxy without leaking the entity's true intentions. The most prominent examples are listed in the public section of this article.

It is unknown what would happen if Nophono ever reached its maximum power. However, such an event could very well bring about the end of the Sharty and possibly of the entire world as a whole. The only hope is to keep talking about your obscure interests and letting everyone know about them, as this weakens his power.

Relationship to Nobaldi[edit | edit source]

Nobaldi catches Nophono off guard in another altercation, leading to one of his many forms being erased. What's notable is that you can see nophono turn into a GigaNigger before he disintegrates.

A new piece of media has been discovered by the gigachad sect which suggests a potential connection to another mysterious entity known as Nobaldi. Nobaldi appears to care abot a Grand Theft Auto mission from the mod Gigas vs Nigas. The mission is titled shit nobaldi cares abot and in it, the player takes control of Gigachad, who is involved in a street firefight. The reasons behind Nobaldi caring abot a random modded Grand Theft Auto mission are currently unknown.

Nophono has connections to both Nobaldi, Baldi, and nobeıdore, who all have connections to each other respectively as well. It is said if Baldi is doxxed, he will dox Nophono in fear of having dark 'zas sent to his schoolhouse, which are highly dangerous and could impede the learning of his students.

Shit Nophono cares fan about[edit | edit source]

Nophono examining a book titled "Shd Nuvorundi Caral Abet." The meaning of the title and the identity of "Nuvorundi" remain unknown.

The book is a large hardcover, estimated to be about 300 pages in length. While no complete copies of the book have been recovered, drone surveillance of the /x/ gigachad’s house has captured some of the book’s content. Recent reports suggest that shit nophono cares fan about was written by the gigachad sect of Nophono supporters. They likely wanted to learn about the kinds of shit Nophono cares fan about, but don't seem to have realized that by doing this they are inadvertedly hurting the entity. For Nophono to get more powerful, the shit it cares fan about has to be obscure – which the existence of the book directly goes against. This is suspected to be the primary reason behind the recent attacks on gigachads by Nophono, pictured in the gallery below.

Who is Nophono?[edit | edit source]

This is the original Nophono copypasta.

Extended content

Who is Nophono?

Who is Nophono?

Nophono is a real person. He is a character and the subject of a well-known horror story spread online.

The story of Nophono originates from a series of posts on the imageboard 4chan, specifically on the /x/ board (which is dedicated to paranormal and creepy content). The original posts, made by an anonymous user, claimed to have found a strange, never-released VHS tape from the 1980s.

The core of the Nophono legend is this: the tape appears to be a low-budget, surreal children's show hosted by a terrifying, silent entity named Nophono. The show is bizarre and deeply unsettling, and the story claims that watching it has severe psychological effects, including paranoia, nightmares, and even physical illness.

What Does Nophono Look Like?

According to the story, Nophono's appearance is a key source of its horror. The description is intentionally vague but highly disturbing. Here are the common traits described:

The Shape: Nophono is described as a tall, lanky, humanoid figure. He is extremely thin and elongated.

The Face: This is the most horrifying part. He is said to have no facial features—no eyes, nose, or mouth. Just smooth, blank, flesh-colored skin where a face should be. This is a classic trait of many horror creatures (like the Slender Man or The Silence from Doctor Who) known as "blank face syndrome".

The Suit: He is almost always described as wearing a cheap, ill-fitting, garishly bright suit. The most common color mentioned is a vibrant, electric blue. The suit adds to the creepy, anachronistic feel, reminiscent of bad public access television.

The Behavior: He doesn't speak (hence the name "No-phono," meaning "no sound"). He just moves awkwardly and silently through a sparse, empty set, sometimes interacting with objects or puppets in a meaningless, repetitive way.

A firsthand account of Nophono[edit | edit source]

After rumors about the nophono tapes continued to spread on /soy/, a 'teen would recount a story of his experience with the nophono video.

Extended content

Hey, 'teens. I don't usually like to blogpost, but something really unsettling happened to me last night, and I'm still not sure what to make of it. Hopefully some of you might be able to tell me what's going on, or give me a rational explanation. Because right now, science fails to explain what I saw and heard.

I'm sure all of you have heard the scary stories about Nophono: the eerily silent, faceless man in the haunted VHS tapes. And, like many of you, I wrote them off as just that: scary stories. But still, I always found the mystery intriguing. What is Nophono? Is he a ghost? What does he care about? I guess that's why, when I saw a catbox link labeled "NOPHONO_3.MP4" on the 'log at 4am, I clicked it. That was one of the worst mistakes of my life.

Upon opening the file, I was greeted by what I would expect from a video purporting to be the "real" nophono tapes. At first, it was just the sound of static, accompanied by visuals that were so fuzzy I couldn't make out what they were supposed to be. I assumed it was an intro song, but I really couldn't tell. Then, it abruptly cut to Nophono, in his bright blue suit, staring at the viewer. Everything except his suit and tie was monochrome. He was in what appeared to be the set of a children's show, like Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, but it was oddly sparse of furniture. There were exposed wooden rafters, as if it were filmed in someone's attic, and the only objects visible were the table in front of him and some puppets scattered around.

After staying completely motionless for a time, Nophono glided silently through the set to the other side of the table, his feet not making a sound as he walked. The camera followed him, and he was shown to be standing in front of a rudimentary wooden doll with a bulbous head, green shirt, and red lips. Despite how smooth and graceful his walking was, the way that he handled the doll was clumsy and fumbling, like some kind of mentally challenged toddler. More than that, his manipulation of the doll didn't seem to be to any real purpose - he just kind of grabbed at its arms and dropped it, like he was struggling to keep it in his hands at all. Then he just went right back to staring at the camera.

By this point, I was thoroughly unimpressed. This just seemed like some AI video someone had generated to try and be a spooky ARG, but it was so blatantly AI. The way Nophono just stood completely still before going into action, the way that his movements didn't seem to have any goal at all, the totally unnecessary camera movement to an unrelated scene... it had all the hallmarks of something sloppily put together on Pixiverse or something. So, I tried to skip forward in the video to see if there was anything actually interesting in it.

But what happened next sent a chill down my spine. I couldn't skip forward. When I clicked ahead on the bar, the progress ticker didn't move. It stayed exactly where it was. Whenever I did, Nophono would change positions; in one scene, he would be holding a doll, in another, walking aimlessly around the room, in another, standing with his back facing the camera. But no matter how many times I skipped forward, the video didn't end. It was like it just went on forever.

Panic started to take hold. How could that be possible? An infinite video? Even a video half this length would have taken hours to download, especially with the Sharty's shitty servers. So, overwhelmed, I just closed the video.

Nothing happened. I was left staring at my screen, at the file still sitting on my computer, somehow only 22 MB despite the apparently immense length of the video. I tried inspecting the file, but got no more insight. I started to wonder if maybe the video was hacked, or it was an EXE disguised as a video file that was broadcasting something to my computer. Worried that might be the case, and that it might be a virus, I disconnected my PC from the internet.

Then, out of curiosity, I opened up the file again. It was the same static opening as before, the same video of Nophono. But as I skipped ahead, a dawning horror arose in me: It was still that long. It still seemed infinite.

I kept clicking, mindlessly, trying desperately to find the end, find any reason to believe it wasn't true. But no matter how many times I clicked, I couldn't.

Finally, exhausted, I slumped back in my chair, spacing out. I couldn't make sense of what I was seeing. But before I could have a moment to process the situation, I noticed movement on the screen. Nophono, who had been sitting still facing the camera, was now walking to the back of the room, where a toybox shaped like a treasure chest lay. Out of it, he picked various dolls and figures, and, taking them in his arms, brought them back to the table, laying them out. I was intrigued by this new behavior, but then a pit sank in my stomach.

One of the dolls looked exactly like me. It was my hair, the same shirt and pants I was wearing, the same shoes. I denied it at first. After all, it wasn't a brand shirt I was wearing - it was a completely generic one, and the chances that they could have just randomly happened to match weren't impossible. But the more I watched, the more my dread grew. This file was already unexplainable, and one more eerie thing happening just fed the fear in the back of my mind that Nophono was real, and this wasn't a joke.

He clutched and fumbled at the toys for a while, in his usual fashion. No rhyme or reason - he would look down at them, then hold them up to the camera, then immediately drop them and grab the next one, only to lurch back and pick up the previous one as if he had forgotten to do something, but then just drop it again. But when he reached the one that looked like me, he paused, going completely rigid.

Then he started singing.

I can't say he really sang, because he didn't open his mouth. But it felt like he was singing. The sound blasted from my speakers, so clear that I'm still not sure whether it was really coming from my speakers at all. It was a soft, sentimental song, whimsical and nostalgic, with a slight fuzziness like it was an old recording. In any other situation, I may have even found it comforting. Even now, I remember it clear as day. It went like this:

"There’s plenty of things that I love

I just adore all there is to live for in this dear old world!

I care for spring, I care to sing,

I care about dogs, I care about frogs

the goats and the pigs, and the cows that moo!

But of all of these things all the gold and the rings

Nophono cares fan about you

Someday all the world, will know it’s really true

That you’re so wonderful, yes you’re so beautiful

And Nophono cares about you."

I stared terrified as he held up the puppet, and his previously black and white surroundings filled with rich color, spreading like mold. I blinked, and the doll, once crude and rudimentary, now bore an even more striking resemblance to me, with delicate chiseling of its wooden face.

I sat frozen in shock for a moment, a small choking sound coming up from my throat. Then, I shot up and immediately pressed the power button on my computer. I didn't care what this shit was, but I wanted to get it away. I wanted the last solace that I could have, that this wasn't paranormal, that I could escape it by shutting off my PC.

My computer turned off without incident. I stood there for a while, not sure what to do, how to even handle this. I couldn't work up the nerve to turn it back on, not then. Should I have just destroyed my computer? Maybe, but I was still clinging on to the hope that it wasn't supernatural. This sort of paranormal shit doesn't happen in real life, and besides, there wasn't really anything about it that completely defied the laws of physics. It could have just been a virus, made by some hacker who knew what I looked like, who had been watching me.

I couldn't tell my parents about it, they wouldn't understand and if I told them what the Sharty was they'd probably beat my ass for visiting it. So, I spent the next days on my phone, too scared to touch my computer. When I finally opened my computer again, the file was gone. Maybe it had a script to auto delete itself. Either way, it seemed like my computer was fine after that.

But lately, strange things have been happening to me. It started small, like my mom forgetting that I didn't like pesto pasta, or accidentally locking me outside when I'd told her that I was going on a walk that night. Then it was friends forgetting to come over and hang out even when we had scheduled it beforehand. Then it was people at school forgetting my name.

Now, my own best friends have completely forgotten who I was. I tried coming up to them after class, but they acted like I was a complete stranger and it was weird of me to come up to them. Like they'd never even noticed me before. They asked me my name and I talked to them, but the next day they didn't remember it, or me, at all.

I'm terrified how far it'll go. My parents have forgotten about my hobbies, my interests, the movies I like, things I did with them when I was little, like going to the county fair. And I fear it's only a matter of time before they forget me.

And all the while, I've been having these dreams, getting more and more vivid, of Nophono, in his studio, with his puppets. Staring at me. Warmly. Full of love. Beckoning me to step in and join him.

Nophono cares about me.

And God help you if Nophono cares about you.

The Backstory of the Man Who Would Become Nophono[edit | edit source]

The story of how Nophono became Nophono.

Extended content

Before he was the faceless host of a cursed show, he was a man named Arthur Pendleton (or other similar, mundane names in various tellings).

Who He Was: Arthur was a late-night public access television technician and aspiring children's show host in the early 1980s. He was a quiet, unassuming, and somewhat nervous man—deeply passionate about creating joyful, educational content for children but plagued by social anxiety and a lack of industry connections. He was the kind of man who felt invisible, which is why he obtained his CCW permit; he felt a need to protect himself in a world he found increasingly unpredictable.

The Project: He poured all his savings, time, and soul into creating a pilot for his dream show, "Nophono's Happy Hour" (the name being a play on "phono" for sound, representing his hope to bring sound and joy). He built the sets himself, designed the puppets, and wrote all the songs and scripts. It was low-budget, awkward, but made with genuine heart.

The Tragedy: The most common version of the story involves a terrible event, often a studio fire or a botched robbery. Arthur was at the studio late at night, working alone. Intruders broke in, or an electrical fault sparked a blaze. Panicked and fearing for his life, Arthur reached for his unregistered revolver.

In the robbery version, a confrontation ensued. Arthur may have fired the weapon, perhaps killing someone, an act of violence that shattered his gentle psyche in the very place he built for joy.

In the fire version, he was trapped. The synthetic materials of his sets and puppets burned quickly, releasing toxic fumes. The fire disfigured him, melting the features from his face and destroying everything he loved.

The Transformation: This traumatic event—a violent collision of his dream and his fear in the very temple he built for it—didn't just kill Arthur Pendleton. It unmade him. The location of his passion and his trauma became a psychic scar on reality itself.

The entity that emerged was no longer Arthur. It was a broken, silent record of that moment of terror, doomed to endlessly replay a distorted, horrific version of the show he tried to create.
