Viki

Rakuten Viki is an American over-the-top streaming television service owned by Rakuten. It is available in premium subscription video on-demand and free ad-supported tiers. The service specializes in Asian television series and films, particularly Korean drama, Chinese, Taiwanese, and Japanese productions, which are distributed globally with community-created subtitles. Users can watch content with subtitles provided in more than 200 languages through a crowdsourced translation system. Headquartered in San Mateo, California, the company operates additional offices in Singapore, Tokyo, and Seoul. The name Viki is a portmanteau of the words video and wiki, reflecting the platform's reliance on volunteer communities to create subtitles and translations for international audiences. Viki won the TechCrunch Crunchie Award for Best International Startup in 2011.
