While attending Waiakea High School, Higa and Sean Fujiyoshi began posting YouTube videos of themselves lip syncing to songs in mid-2006. They immediately expanded their repertoire beyond songs, doing a range of other comic acts. Tim Enos, Ryan Villaruel, Kyle Chun, and Tarynn Nago made cameo cameos on occasion.
Higa and Fujiyoshi’s two most popular videos, How To Be Gangster and How To Be Emo, were taken off on Christmas Eve 2008 owing to copyright breaches. The nigahiga account was temporarily disabled on January 21, 2009, and it was ordered to erase further copyrighted content. As a result, nigahiga’s lip syncing videos, as well as the majority of his other videos containing copyrighted music, were all removed. Since then, Higa has begun to compose his own songs.
In late August 2009, How to be Gangster and How to be Emo were reintroduced to nigahiga’s channel, only to be removed a few days later, along with How to be Ninja and How to be Nerd. How to be Ninja, How to be Gangster, and How to be Emo were re-released in Spring 2010.
In August 2009, Ninja Melk, a 26-minute short film about ninjas, was released. The plot centers around a ninja teacher named Master Ching Ching dispatching his student Lapchung to locate a replacement, as well as Higa and Fujiyoshi, to apprehend the villainous Bokchoy and his henchwoman Gina.
On November 24, 2010, he posted Agents of Secret Stuff, an independent 35-minute film he made with Wong Fu Productions, to the nigahiga channel. It also includes actors like Aki Aleong and other well-known YouTube users. In order to safeguard Taylor from the S.I.N.S., a teenage A.S.S. goes undercover as a high school student. Ian and Anthony of Smosh, D-Trix, KassemG, and Hiimrawn also made appearances.
When Higa relocated to Las Vegas for college, the majority of nigahiga videos were solo projects, with collaborations with other YouTube users. Since 2012, Higa has worked with Sean Fujiyoshi to form Ryan Higa Production Firm, a production company that creates material for the nigahiga channel. Higa’s production company was situated in a Henderson, Nevada studio in 2015. Boys Generally Asian is a spoof K-pop group formed by Higa and other YouTubers and friends in 2016. Fujiyoshi departed the group in mid-2018 as he was preparing to relocate out of the area, specifically to Sacramento, California, to live with his current fiancée and continue his engineering degree.
Ryan Higa Channels
Higa, Fujiyoshi, Enos, and Nago founded the nigahiga YouTube channel on July 20, 2006. It became the first channel to exceed 3 million subscribers on December 21, 2010. Higa previously claimed that his channel name came from a mix of “Niga,” which he said means “rant” in Japanese, and his Okinawan surname, “Higa.” He later explained that his channel name was inspired by a wish to educate people to accurately pronounce his surname.
He expressed sorrow that this may have backfired, but he has refused to modify the channel’s name throughout the years to prevent the suggestion that it was ever intended to encourage the use of the racial epithet to which it has been compared. In 2011, he launched HigaTV, a second YouTube channel where he broadcasts video blogs and behind-the-scenes footage.
In 2012, Higa helped develop the YOMYOMF Network, which sponsors the Internet Icon online video-making talent competition, for which he served as a primary judge alongside Christine Lakin and Timothy DeLaGhetto.
