==Content==
Ryan Higa and Sean Fujiyoshi started posting [[YouTube]] videos of themselves [[lip synch]]ing to songs in mid 2006 while attending [[Waiakea High School]].<ref>{{cite news | title = Hilo teens become a Web video sensation | '''url=http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2008/Jul/27/il/hawaii807270330.html | publisher = The Honolulu Advertiser | date = July 27, 2008 | accessdate = August 21, 2009}}</ref> They quickly expanded beyond songs, with a variety of other comedic pieces. Occasional guest appearances are made by Tim Enos, Ryan Villaruel, Kyle Chun, and Tarynn Nago, collectively known as the "Yabo Crew".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://archives.starbulletin.com/2008/01/11/features/screentime.html |title=starbulletin.com | Features | /2008/01/11/ |publisher=Archives.starbulletin.com |date=January 11, 2008 |accessdate=July 13, 2010}}</ref>

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.<ref name="copyrighted">{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCTAqdDfL58&feature=player_embedded|title=Copyrighted|last=Higa|first=Ryan|date=February 23, 2009|publisher=[[YouTube]]|'''accessdate=December 11, 2009}}</ref> On January 21, 2009, nigahiga's account was temporarily suspended and he was told 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<ref name="yourebeautiful">{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhlvZuwl_pc|title=You're Beautiful|last=Higa|first=Ryan|date=June 27, 2008|publisher=[[YouTube]]|accessdate=November 29, 2009}}</ref>), and so were most of his videos that include copyrighted music. As of now, all the music that is being played in nigahiga's videos is music Higa composed 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''. Higa and Fujiyoshi used to have over 90 videos, but due to copyright incidents, their video number has dropped down to 73. In spring 2010, ''How to be Ninja'', ''How to be Gangster'' and ''How to be Emo'' were made public once more.<ref name="uploads">{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/user/nigahiga?blend=1&ob=4#g/u|title=Uploads|last=Higa|first=Ryan|publisher=[[YouTube]]|accessdate=November 29, 2009}}</ref>
