Nigahiga is a popular YouTube channel that was started on July 20, 2006 by the Japanese Americans Ryan Higa (born June 6, 1990 in Hilo , Hawaii ) and Sean Fujiyoshi. Most of the time only Ryan Higa himself can be seen in Higa's videos, but sometimes other people like KevJumba also appear in these. The videos on YouTube have received over 3 billion views. With more than 21 million subscribers (June 2018), the channel is number 30 of the most subscribed YouTube channels worldwide. According to Higa, the channel name is derived from Niga (Japanese for "hate speech ") and his last name.

Ryan Higa and Sean Fujiyoshi started posting videos of their lips moving their lips to playbacks in mid-2006 while attending Waiakea High School . Within a short time they expanded their repertoire through various skits. Tim Enos, Ryan Villaruel, Kyle Chun and Tarynn Nago, also known as the "Yabo Crew", made guest contributions.

On Christmas Eve 2008, its two most popular videos, How To Be Gangster and How To Be Emo , were removed for copyright infringement by YouTube. On January 21, 2009, the canal was temporarily closed. This resulted in the removal of all videos with infringing content except for You're Beautiful , which has had its background music replaced. Since then, the music used in the videos has been produced by Higa itself. How to be Gangster and How to be Emo were uploaded again in August 2009, only to be removed a few days later along with How to be Ninja and How to be Nerd . In the spring of 2010 the videos How to be Ninja , How to be Gangster and How to be Emo were released.

Since Ryan Higa moved to Los Angeles, most of the videos have been his own productions.

On December 21, 2010, he became the first YouTuber to reach 3 million subscribers.

In 2011 he founded a second channel under the name "HigaTV", on which he uploads vlogs and making-ofs .

Movies

In 2008, the film producer Richard Van Vleet Nigahiga offered to make a feature-length film. The resulting film Ryan and Sean's Not So Excellent Adventure was released on November 14, 2008, and shown in theaters in Hawaii and California . On July 14th, 2009 the DVD was released in the USA. The film is about a film producer (played by Michael Buckley ) who is looking for celebrities to shoot a successful film with them within 30 days. He picks up Ryan Higa and Sean Fujiyoshi after learning of the popularity of their videos. He then invites her to Hollywood . You agree and get into various strange situations on the way there.

Ninja Melk , a short film about ninjas, was released in August 2009. The action revolves around the martial arts master Master Ching Ching, who trains Higa and Fujiyoshi in an effort to defeat the villains Bokchoy (Tim Enos) and his sidekick Gina (Tarynn Nago).

A film, produced in collaboration with Wong Fu Productions , entitled "Agents of Secret Stuff" was uploaded to the channel on November 24, 2010.
