Ninja Warrior

From TeeVeePedia, the Internet TV Encyclopedia.

Ninja Warrior is a reality television show that airs at random times on the G4 cable network. Supposedly, the show is about a training camp in a secret location in Japan where aspiring ninjas work on their skills. In reality, the "ninja training camp" is a scam set up to bilk fanboys of their (or their parents') hard-earned money. "Trainees" are sent through obstacle courses of ever-increasing difficulty, in hopes of winning the title "Ninja Warrior" and the top prize of 3-million Japanese yen (about $25 in American money). However, the show is set up so that nobody can possibly win; survivors of previous stages are sent through challenges of increasing difficulty (and humiliation) until at last the final contestant is eliminated.

Show Description

They come from across America,
the greatest anime fans in the world,
some wearing special costumes, others dressed in fur,
still others in outfits too gruesome to mention,
they all have traveled to Japan seeking their destiny,
the special training in the way of the ninja,
all seeking to become the ultimate...
Ninja Warrior!
