==Trivia==
*Kiyarash became popular after getting featured on {{Sm|ZeRo}}'s [[YouTube]] for defeating {{Sm|Wishes}} 2-1 in a Wi-Fi tournament. During the set, Wishes proceeded to insult him which earned him strong condemnation from many other players. 
*Kiyarash has the nickname "Future of Smash", due to a rap battle in which he states, "My name is Kiyarash - the Future of Smash".
*On May 13th, 2021, following his victory over {{Sm|ChunkyKong}} in a first to 5, Kiyarash shouted insults that contained profanity at his opponent, resulting in him getting kicked off of {{Sm|Hungrybox}}'s [[Discord]] server's voice channel. He later rejoined the stream to briefly say "I apologize to nobody." These insults and his response<ref>https://twitter.com/Kiyarashssb/status/1392591147462119429</ref> have since become memes in the community, with top players such as {{Sm|Maister}} changing their profile pictures to Luigi in response.
