Kurtis Lau Wai-kin (Chinese: 劉偉健), better known as Toyz, is a Hong Kong esports personality and YouTuber. He is a former professional League of Legends player, best known for winning the Season 2 World Championship as the mid laner for Taipei Assassins. Following his retirement in late 2015, he transitioned to several coaching and managerial roles for esports teams in Taiwan before switching his focus to his YouTube channel.

Lau was arrested by Taiwanese police in late 2021, on suspicion of trafficking marijuana. The following year, he pled guilty to one charge of possessing Category Two narcotics with the intention to sell and was sentenced to 4 years and 2 months in prison. He unsuccessfully appealed the sentence, and began serving his sentence in 2024.
