Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is "Ninja Warrior" known as in Japanese?

Answer: Sasuke

"Sasuke" is the Japanese term for "Ninja Warrior" (although it is not a direct translation). The word "Sasuke" usually appears behind the starting line before the first stage.

2. Of what profession is "Ninja Warrior" all-star Shingo Yamamoto?

Answer: oil company district manager

He was promoted to district manager after the 17th competition. He is the only person to have competed in all 18 "Sasuke" specials, and is the only one to have attempted both the first and second versions of the Final Stage. He can be seen wearing his gas station uniform and "Esso" hat while competing.

3. Usually the second obstacle in stage one, each player must hold on tightly to this rolling pin-looking contraption. This is called which of these?

Answer: Rolling Log

The Rolling Log was created in the 3rd competition and was used up until the 17th competition.

4. Up to how many people can qualify for one "Ninja Warrior" tournament?

Answer: 100

"100 will try, few will succeed" is one of the American version's taglines.

5. Japanese comedian and "Ninja Warrior" contestant, Akira Omori, is called by what animal-like nickname?

Answer: "Monkey"

Although Japanese comedians have appeared as "Ninja Warrior" contestants numerous times, it's usually for entertainment purposes only. "The Monkey" has made it to the Final Stage before, but has yet been unsuccessful.

6. As of August 2007, how many regular "Ninja Warrior" tournaments have there been?

Answer: 19

The 19th "Sasuke" concluded in September 2007.

Answer: Three

Not only has Ayako Miyake won it three times, she has won it in consecutive years! Quite impressive!

Answer: Jump Hang

"Jump Hang" was premiered during the 5th competition, and was used until the 17th (although a different obstacle by the same name was used in the 13th competition, it was somewhat different from the version we all know that uses a rope net). From the 3rd to the 8th competitons, "Jump Hang" was placed between the "Balance Bridge" and the "Warped Wall".

It was usually the 4th-to-last obstacle in the First Stage.

9. In which Japanese city does "Ninja Warrior" take place?

Answer: Midoriyama

The competition takes place atop "Mt. Midoriyama".

10. As of August 2007, how many people have won the title of "Ninja Warrior" in the regular series?

Answer: Two

The only two people (as of the eighteenth special) are Kazuhiko Akiyama and Makoto Nagano. After each completion of the Final Stage, it is re-designed to be harder than the last.
