Ryan Higa

Ryan Higa is an Okinawan-American YouTuber who was born on June 6, 1990 in Hilo, Hawaii (United States). He has two channels called nigahiga and HigaTV. nigahiga is his main channel, where he uploads scripted videos (except for the occasional I Dare You with special guests) like skits, music videos, or rants. HigaTV, a second channel, is a place where he uploads unscripted content like Bloopers and Behind The Scenes, Trip videos, I Dare You, TeeHee Time, Sean's Room, random games and challenges. He called this channel as his "freedom channel," because unlike his first channel where he needs to meet people's expectations, he uploads whatever he feels like uploading on his second channel—that includes random videos or deleted scenes that weren't "good enough" to be on his first channel.
