Who is Ryan Higa?

In order to bring his ancestry closer to himself, Ryan competed in judo during his early years, and has obtained a black belt. Once in Waiakea High School, Ryan started wrestling for the school team; he matriculated in 2008.

Career Beginnings

Even while in high school, Ryan started his YouTube channel, and with his friend, Sean Fujiyoshi began uploading videos of the two lip-syncing to popular songs of the time. The two quickly became an internet sensation, incorporating new ideas into their videos. Unfortunately, the two got into a controversy over copyright violations in late 2008, so in January 2009, nigahiga channel was suspended, and many of the videos were removed. He managed to recover his channel, but had problems with his most popular videos “How to be Gangster”, and “How to be Emo”, as they were on and off the network several times before they were back online for good in the spring of 2012.
