040/365
YouTube Icons
Ryan "Niga" Higa

On Christmas Eve of 2008, Higa and Fujiyoshi's two most popular videos, How To Be Gangster and How To Be Emo, were removed due to copyright violations. On January 21, 2009, the nigahiga account was temporarily suspended and was required to remove more copyrighted videos. Because of this, nigahiga's lip synching videos were all removed (with the exception of You're Beautiful, which was audio swapped),along with most of his other videos that included copyrighted music. Since then, Higa started composing the music himself. How to be Gangster and How to be Emo were put back on nigahiga's channel in late August 2009, only to be removed a few days later, along with How to be Ninja and How to be Nerd. In Spring 2010, How to be NinjaHow to be Gangster and How to be Emowere made public once more.
Due to Ryan Higa moving to Las Vegas for college, most of the Nigahiga videos are solo efforts, usually featuring collaborations with other YouTube users. However, the other members of the Yabo crew have made appearances whenever Higa visits Hawaii. Sean Fujiyoshi has been making more frequent appearances due to his move to Nevada.

Truly an inspiration to never give up on your dreams
Thank You Ryan


Happy Doodling
