One of the most popular YouTubers ever. Due to his popularity he has had a lot success surrounding the "nigahiga" brand.
He used to make video
Sean Fujiyoshi but now does with himself with
the Ryan Higa production company (group of friends/producers), along with Sean at times.
His videos are for entertainment and as of
July 15, 2017, he has nearly 20 million subscribers on his main YouTube channel, making him have the 19th most subscribed channel on YouTube.
The channel was on two occasions the most subscribed on YouTube, surpassing
Smosh in September 2008 but
losing it to Fred a month later until surpassing him in subscribers to become the most subscribed YouTuber again in August of the next year, holding it until
June 26, 2011.
Many say his reign as #1 was due to his comedy and spontaneous video schedule. Although his popularity has decreased in certain ways, he is still more relevant in different ways too.
He as well has another channel which has over 500 million views (his main channel having over 3 billion total video views) and nearly 5 million subscribers where he post BTS videos of the videos he posted on his main channel.
