I loved Ninja Warrior too! Makoto Nagano was my favorite and I was so psyched that he won.Oh my god, I remember G4! When I was 7 or 8, I would secretly stay up past my bedtime just to watch the Japanese version of the obstacle-course competition show Ninja Warrior. There were video game shows as well for the XBOX360/PS2/PS3 era of consoles, but never really got into them unfortunately.
Ninja Warrior made its way to America later on, but by then I had lost interest in the genre, and the authenticity was sort of lost. Oh well, G4 was fun while it lasted.
They also showed a “Women’s Ninja Warrior” that was more balance-based obstacles. That was interesting, too.
