Around mid 2009 our neighbour and family friend was spending the night for a sleepover - fairly common back then. We would've both been 11 years old at the time. It was late at night I think and he suggested putting on Ninja Warrior on TV. After that I thought it looked really cool, and started binging it on the TV channel challenge (I think), after that. I then found this forum and went online looking up how everyone did. The TV channel I think only showed SASUKE 3-19 or so. I remember thinking how weird it was that some completely unknown name to me got to the final stage in SASUKE 22, what felt like ages since we've seen a good run, as opposed to someone like Nagano or Nagasaki. When watching on TV, my favourite person to follow was Shingo Yamamoto, and to this day he's still my favourite competititor. After finding this forum, I watched SASUKE 23 as my first live competition and since have seen each compeition either live or shortly after. I tend to only check back here every few months or so, and right before SASUKE 32 I decided to look and suddenly found out that SASUKE was airing the next day. A very similar thing happened this time - which I found funny. It seems I have a secret SASUKE sixth sense! Welcome back! Let's watch SASUKE 33! Also this'll be the first tournament to have a completely different all star be the final one to compete in the first stage. Akiyama, Nagano, and Yamada have ALWAYS had this honor. Now it's given to Yamamoto.

Hey, thanks! I remember you of course, a fellow Shingo fan c: How are you doing? That's actually really awesome, it's great that he'll be the last one. It's nice to see that even after all this time Shingo is respected. I even looked at the particpant list and didn't realise he was the last one, haha.

In 2010 new Czech tv station bring some tv shows like Fear Factor, Survivor and Sasuke too (for some reason named Ninja Faktor ...) Immediately loved the show. After every episode was aired i just forgot for some time. About year later i discovered that Sasuke continues (28th tournament). Since then i watched every tournament (28-33, five of them live)

In 2010, I was flipping channels and saw this japanese show. There was this guy (still no idea who he was) taking on what I now know as Stage 3. He beat the Curtain Cling and Devil's Swing but failed the Pipe Slider. I've always wondered who he was because I forgot his name and face. It was cool but I had to leave so I only watched one.
Then I watched what I now know is ANW Season 1 Finals. I watched 10 Americans take on this japanese course where one of them made it to Stage 3 and failed the cliffhanger which he had apparently fallen on before. Little did I know, this was Levi.
The next year I watched ANW 3's full season On Demand. I became an instant fan. Thats why its no secret i'm a Drew guy- he was my favorite from the very first episode I watched of ANW. Its so cool seeing him blow up like this. Ever since then i've been a superfan

I've always wondered who he was because I forgot his name and face. Well, there's only 3 people who cleared the Devil Buranco but failed the Pipe Slider afterwards Yamada Koji in Sasuke 16: Shiratori Bunpei also in Sasuke 16: Takeda Toshihiro in Sasuke 17: Although if you still don't know who he is I'm assuming it was Koji considering Takeda and Bunpei are All Stars so far more recognizable

I remember the guy took FOREVER on Devil's Swing, and then fell pretty early in Pipe Slider because he couldn't get it moving. If it was an All-Star I still wouldn't know because I really don't remember the guy's face. But it is so cool that its one of these people- i've always wondered.

After looking at their results, it appears Bunpei and Takeda failed the dismount and Koji's fall was how I described it- so I guess Yamada Koji's Sasuke 16 Stage 3 attempt was the first time I ever saw Sasuke

Koji Yamada's stage 3 ssk16 run used to be the most viewed Sasuke related video on the net back in the good days of 2012. It had over.... 1 million views! And since it was uploaded by our lord and savior G4, the competitor was named "Yasushi Yamada"

Ahh, the good old days when you'd have those close-ups of the competitor's grueling expression and they just...couldn't...hold on...any...longer.

I got bored visiting my dad's friend in New Jersey and he told me that I could watch TV in his living room. He had a huge TV (at least 40") and DirecTV, which was pretty much as good as it got then. I kept flipping channels because I was growing bored of TV by then until I happened upon a program named "Ninja Warrior" on G4. Thinking it was some lame dubbed anime from the early '90s or something, I watched. This short guy named they kept calling a fisherman was trying his hand at this impossible obstacle course. I kept watching until he fell at the last obstacle.
A decade later, I know now that it WAS Nagano's run at 21. The design of that 3rd Stage was something I'd never forget. I kept watching obviously because this show was amazing. G4 did air an older tournament (before SASUKE 10) after that airing, but I had to leave.

I was surfing through YouTube on my tablet and I found a random video of Yuuji Urushihara achieving Total Victory.

It was of one guy attempting stage 2 on the spider walk. .(during the nagano era ) ..I was completely drawn in when I saw the metal spin next. I knew this was my kinda show ..
