Japanizi "Going, Going, Gong!" ("ゴーイング、ゴーイング、ゴング!") is a Canadian children's physical game show with a Japanese motif where contestants compete with a teammate against other teams as they tackle obstacles and challenges to test their mental capabilities, strength, endurance, and smarts.[1] The series first aired on YTV starting November 5, 2013 and in the United States on Disney XD as of November 4, 2013.

Yoshi Amao hosts, with Masayuki Hashimoto as "Judge Masa". The show's characters include a group of ninjas led by the English-translator ninja Shinobi; and Glasses Man, who is one of the audience members.

Japanizi is an adaptation of the ABC reality show I Survived A Japanese Game Show, originally called Big in Japan, and was created by David Sidebotham. The studio-based kids game show will make use of zany costumes, conveyor belts, dizzy chairs, giant fans and velcro walls with themed competitions and more.[2] The Japanese language is incorporated with the show, but it is mostly English.

Japanizi is produced by Toronto-based marblemedia,[3] the production company behind the game shows Splatalot[4] and The Adrenaline Project,[5] creates award-winning children’s programs for television, web and mobile.

On August 20, 2014, YTV & Disney XD dismissed increasing rumors that Japanizi: Going, Going, Gong! had been cancelled, reporting rather that renewal of the series is undetermined as of the present.

Contestants

The contestants for the show are teens aged 12–16 from across Canada. Marblemedia’s kids game show adaptation will feature four teams of two contestants moving through three elimination rounds of physical gags and over-the-top stunts to reach a final winner.[6] Casting is now closed for the show.
