Operation! Takeshi’s Castle: The Legacy of the Most Well-known Japanese Game show of All Time

Joshua Murphy

Joshua Murphy will tell the story of the Japanese Game Show that, for most, defines the genre: Operation! Takeshi’s Castle.

The Japanese game show that went from being a television footnote, to airing in over 100 different countries was remade in over a dozen places. The recent Takeshi’s Castle Amazon revival will also be touched upon. This lecture will explain the history of one of the most successful Japanese game show franchises–the history of how a segment on a sports competition show became the worldwide phenomenon of Ninja Warrior.
