SASUKE (Romanized in Japanese) is a competition held in Japan produced by Monster9 [1] and broadcast on the Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) television network twice a year between Japanese TV drama seasons. It is one of the spin-offs of Muscle Ranking Series (Japanese: 筋肉番付シリーズ, Kinniku Banzuke Shiriizu?), a former TBS physical tournament program. SASUKE consists of four obstacle courses, each more difficult than the last. Each competition is taped prior to the air date and is shown as a three hour show with edits made for time consideration.

Champions

Those who complete all four stages are awarded a cash prize of 2 million yen. To date, only two men have completed all four stages: crab diver Kazuhiro Akiyama and commercial fisherman Makoto Nagano. Nagano had been to the final stage a number of times before finally clearing, including reaching the buzzer just a half-second too late. A handful of others have reached the final stage only to come up short; one of them, gas station manager Shingo Yamamoto, dislocated his shoulder at the very beginning of the wall climb and had to withdraw from the competition.

Kinniku Banzuke Shiriizu. The last part written in katakana is Series. I've seen this before in Japanese. Rented a bunch of these from sun video before.

Makoto Nagano takes part in alot of these types of competitions. The guy isn't exactly young. Nor is he a big guy but body fat % wise he is lean as can be. I think I am taller than he is actually.

Sometimes they show the Viking Challenge on tsn. He's gotten to the final on that one too, but the last part of the last event is a huge verticle rope climb, and he just ran out of strength.

The best is watching how these guys train. Example: Nagano turned his fishing boat into a training facility.
