Throughout 2006, the American cable channel G4 started broadcasting subtitled or dubbed ‘Sasuke.’ It was called ‘Ninja Warrior’ on the website. The channel then introduced the American Ninja Challenge in US history. This allowed Americans to fly to Japan and take part in ‘Sasuke.’ These transmissions gradually became a success and began to develop a cult in the region. The producers then wanted to make their American version, entitled ‘American Ninja Warrior,’ which was premiered in 2009.
After qualifying, finalists may take part in ‘Sasuke.’ After the fourth season, however, the final winners had the option of competing in the Las Vegas Strip instead of going abroad. NBC took over the broadcasting rights from the fifth installment onwards and has been the only broadcaster since 2013 since the city’s finals and regional finals in 2012.
