Background

Content

Ryan and Sean started posting YouTube videos of themselves lip synching to songs in mid 2006 while attending Waiakea High School. They quickly expanded beyond songs, with a variety of other comedic pieces. Occasional guest appearances are made by Tim Enos, Ryan Villaruel, Kyle Chun, Mason Turner and Tarynn Nago, collectively known as the "Yabo Crew".

Popularity

Ryan and Sean's YouTube channel, nigahiga, was created on July 20, 2006. By July 2008 it had over 300,000 subscribers, making it one of the site's most subscribed channels. By November 2008, their videos had been viewed over 150 million times.

On May 10, 2009, Nigahiga passed the one million subscriber mark and ranked as YouTube's second most subscribed channel, just short of Fred's 1.2 million subscribers. On August 20, 2009, Ryan and Sean overtook Fred to become the most subscribed YouTube channel of all time.

Copyright Violations

On Christmas Eve of 2008, Ryan and Sean's two most popular videos, How to be Gangster and How to be Emo, were removed due to copyright violations. On January 21, 2009, nigahiga's account was temporarily suspended and 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), 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 Ryan 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. Ryan and Sean used to have over 90 videos, but due to copyright incidents, their video number has dropped down currently to 53.

Ryan and Sean's Not So Excellent Adventure

In 2008, Los Angeles producer Derek Zemrak offered to help them create their first feature-length film. The resulting film, Ryan and Sean's Not So Excellent Adventure, was directed by Richard Van Vleet and released on November 14, 2008. It was shown in sold out theaters in Hawaii and California. The DVD was released on July 14, 2009 in the USA.

Ryan and Sean's Not So Excellent Adventure is about a down on his luck movie producer, played by Michael Buckley, who is seeking out famous celebrities in order to make a hit movie in 30 days or risk being fired. He chooses Ryan Higa and Sean Fujiyoshi after discovering the popularity of their YouTube videos. He invites them to Hollywood to make a movie. They accept the offer, and run into some amusing situations on the way.
