Ryan Higa (or better known by his youtube username Nigahiga) is a Japanese American youtube celebrity, actor, comedian, and producer. Since moving to Las Vegas to study filmmaking at UNLV, Higa's videos are either solo efforts or videos with other people such as KevJumba. As of Feb 2013, Higa's youtube channel has over 7 million subscribers.
Ryan Higa was born in Hilo, Hawaii on June 6, 1990. He graduated from Waiakea High School in the year 2008.
Higa first started to post youtube videos with Sean Fujiyoshi of themselves lip-synching to songs while they were still in high school. Unfortunately, the account was suspended in 2009 due to copyright violations and all of their lip synching videos were removed. Since then, all the music that is played in his videos are composed by himself. The Nigahiga channel was created in 2006 by Ryan Higa himself, Sean Fujiyoshi, Tim Enos and Tarynn Nago (known collectively as "The Yabo Crew"). And in 2011, he created his second channel under the name of "HigaTV" where he posts video blogs and behind the scenes movies.
I first came to know Higa through one of Kevin's music videos call "Shed A Tear". His facial expressions were so funny I couldn't stop laughing. That was when the search of Higa begun. After watching a few of his videos, I personally found that his videos are not only hilarious, but also rather bold. Bold as in the way he speaks and make fun of celebrities' issues in his vlogs. Here are some of the vlogs I find funny.
The Worst Boyfriend Ever
Censorship Makes No Sense
Why Selena Broke Up With Justin
Why Chris Brown Beat Rihanna
Expectations vs. Reality: Romance
Besides vlogs, Higa is also good in music and here are 2 of my favourite songs of his:
Nice Guys (ft. KevJumba, Chester See, Kina Grannis as herself & Cathy Nguyen as herself)
Bromance (ft. Chester See)
Oh, and one more video that I think that was the most creative video ever made. A Thank You video when his account reached 6 million subscribers -- Just Wanted To Say...
