Supah Ninjas

Supah Ninjas is an American action superhero teen sitcom, created by Leo Chu and Eric Garcia. The series aired on Nickelodeon from January 17, 2011 to April 27, 2013. It ran for two seasons. The series follows three high school friends—Mike, Owen, and Amanda—who lead a double life as crime-fighting ninjas.

The series was originally created as a starring vehicle for YouTube comedian Ryan Higa, who was slated to play the lead role of Mike. According to Higa, the producers wanted him to remove his YouTube videos, but he refused. The lead role was given to Ryan Potter instead, and Ryan Higa was given a one-time role as the titular villain of the episode "DJ Elephant Head".

The first season was filmed in Los Angeles and the second season was filmed at 31st Street Studios in Pittsburgh. On March 15, 2012, it was announced that the series was renewed for a second season that premiered on February 9, 2013. On May 7, 2013, Nickelodeon cancelled the series after two seasons.

The series follows Mike Fukanaga and his friends, Owen and Amanda. Following his grandfather's death, Mike receives a mysterious letter that leads him to discover that he comes from a long line of vigilante ninjas. Along with Owen, and later Amanda, they are ushered into the world of crime-fighting, forming the team "Supah Ninjas." They are trained by a hologram of Mike's grandfather, whom Owen refers to as "Hologramps", in Empire City.

On September 30, 2010, Nickelodeon announced that it had ordered 26 episodes of the series, which was slated to begin production in Los Angeles for a 2011 premiere. Initially, the series was planned to star YouTube comedian Ryan Higa as the lead character Mike Fukanaga. In an update video posted to his channel on July 16, 2011, Ryan Higa explained, "The reason why I turned it down is because they wanted me to remove my YouTube videos."

On May 7, 2013, it was announced that the series would not return for a third season. Chris Breakwell, owner of the show's production facility 31st Street Studios, stated "Nickelodeon liked it but they're going in a different direction."
