Izumi not mentioned

I don't know why, but I don't see why Mika Izumi isn't mentioned as a regular competitior, or a notable one. Did someone delete it?

Dates of competitions

Does anyone know what year each competition took place? If so, can this be added to the page? 207.245.124.66 19:48, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

I just added the airdates (as opposed to when the competition is actually held because I've never found a list for that) from the Japanese SASUKE page as well as the latest information from the 7th competition which aired tonight in Japan. Lostinube 13:16, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

2nd Obstacle Of Kunoichi 2nd Stage In Kunoichi 1.

Nobody knows the name of the obstacle but I think it is probably the Ledge Walk. If nobody got to that obstacle, then why should it be changed. SuperMarioGamer 19:00, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

The Ledge Walk is a 7 inch wide ledge against a wall. I am asserting that the obstacle IS NOT the Ledge Walk. Look at the Ledge Walk on SASUKE. See? The KUNOICHI version is exact ly the same thing,sans the pipes.--Xterra1(talk)(Work)(?) 21:22, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

On the Kunoichi database,it is called "Spinning Pads". Should I add that,with a ** saying "This is an unoffcial name. If someone knows this,please change it."?--Xterra1(talk)(Work)(?) 14:03, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Well Sorry Mr. Important Man I Was In A Rush. Now can you please tell me the results that I posted or don't waste my time.

Supasta 16:38, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Miyake got past the first stage (she was number 100). She fell towards the end of the 2nd stage. Lostinube 09:53, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Supasta,I'm not being rude. It's a wiki guideline to sign.--Xterra1(talk)(Work)(?) 14:05, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

New Part Of Domino Hill?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4zQ5MQDRVM

look at the end of this video. right when Maho Tanaka falls you can see part of the red zone of dominoes. they have been replaced with some sort of new obstacle. can anyone give me an explanation for this? Supasta 17:12, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

More likely it's a new modification on the "Domino Hill" obstacle. I can see why they would make it so hard now. But Ayake didn't make it to the third stage this year! Rollinman (talk) 03:45, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Who is the Executive Producer?

This article currently says "Higuchi Tide", but the Japanese wikipedia article says Higuchi Ushio (樋口 潮). However, the Japanese article is mainly about Sasuke and does not distinguish staff between the two shows. Does anyone have an external source confirming the executive producer's name? Diluvial (talk) 02:09, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Log Transfer obstacle

Unfortunately, I've never seen the show so I can't really improve the article. I wish G4 showed "Women of Ninja Warrior" more often.  :) I find the following bit confusing:

First, the contestant must hit a buzzer before starting this obstacle. When the buzzer is hit, a horn sounds and the "Flying Pillar" starts moving. The contestant must run across two stationery round "logs", all the while trying to outrun the "Flying Pillar". The logs are separated, with the second one lower and to the right of the first. If the contestant is too slow on this obstacle, she will miss the "Flying Pillar" and be disqualified.

"Outrun" seems to imply that the pillar is chasing the contestant and will whack her in the back if she is too slow. "Missing" the pillar implies that she has to do something with the pillar at the end - perhaps jumping onto it? Am I just an idiot, or could this bit use some clarification? 75.173.254.71 (talk) 03:27, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

G4 hasn't shown competitions 6 nor 7 yet. I believe the commercial said that they will starting March 4 or March 8. Regardless, in about a weeks time America will get a good glimpse of this obstacle. I haven't seen it, so I can't comment, nor will I try and clean it up at all. I'll be back when I've watched it to try and fix it up, however possible. VxJasonxV (talk) 21:45, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I'll take a crack at it myself, but here's what happens.

Let's start with the 6th tournament. In the 6th tournament, the Flying Pillar was all it's own obstacle. At the start of the obstacle, you would press a red button, and the "Flying Pillar" (basically looks like a punching bag) starts to slide down a zipline. The contestant needs to run the length of the course to a spring at the end. Solid ground *ends* after the Spring, they must leap onto the "Flying Pillar" and hold onto it until it reaches the next length of the course. If done correctly, the Pillar drops them off on a small floating island, in thich they can then climb back up onto the normal course/structure.

Now, in the 7th competition, they flipped the obstacle on it's head and made it immensely more difficult. The red button is located at the start of the Log Transfer obstacle. They press the red button, and the "Flying Pillar" starts it's path down the zipline adjacent to the course the competitor is located on. The competitor must walk across two stationary logs, the first one being thicker than the other, not to mention the short drop down between the two.

After they get off the logs, they need to run the length the "Flying Pillar" obstacle before again hitting the Spring and grabbing onto the Flying Pillar.

That's the difference. They're both the same obstacle, the only difference between 6 and 7 is that the button is moved to the previous obstacle in 7. What we probably need to do is strip out all reference of the Flying Pillar from the Log Transfer, and simply put in a footnote to it to something along the lines of: "In the 7th competition, the red button starting the Flying Pillar was placed at the start of the Log Transfer."

I'll do this if it hasn't been done, but I need to get out the door :). VxJasonxV (talk) 03:20, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Maho Tanaka info?

Does anyone have any info on her? She's done pretty well the last two competitions (Final Stage in the 6th, the only one to nake the 3rd stage in the 7th) so should probably be listed somehow. FMPhoenixHawk (talk) 00:23, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

An added post here, the article currently says Maho first appeared in the 6th tournament, but I think I just saw her failing at the Hop Rocket in the replay of the 4th tournament. (During the Fast Forward on G4, Tournament 4, part 2) Can anyone confirm this, or was this already figured into the article? FMPhoenixHawk (talk) 22:44, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Obstacles in the 7th Competition

The obstacles "Lilypads" "Yellow Post" and "Monkey Bars" are not the official names. They were made up when no further information was available. Because of this, it would be better to use the G4 names of "Stepping Stones" "Hop Rocket" and "Climbing Bars". Please do so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.23.54.232 (talk) 11:28, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

It would be better to use whatever Monster 9/TBS decided upon... Because, you know. This article is about Kunoichi, not Women of Ninja Warrior. VxJasonxV (talk) 03:54, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Someone used Stepping Stones again....--Xterra1 16:53, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Adult Film Star?

I unfortunately don't have the recordings of Kunoichi anymore, so I'm in a bit of a loss for the name of a competitor.

And I also wasn't logged in, and I really don't know how I managed to submit that.

ANYWAYS; There was a competitor in I believe the 2nd through the 4th (or 5th?) competitions. I seem to recall she was an adult film star, that or an adult model (as in nude model). I can't recall her name. She's ALWAYS failed on the very last obstacle (escape ladder, escape pole, etc.) due to time running out.

Anyone know her name? The name cited in this JapanProbe article sounded awfully familiar, but the picture doesn't look like what I remember her to look like. Anyone? VxJasonxV (talk) 22:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Maybe Yoko Mori?--Xterra1 15:11, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

That sounds about right. Good to hear it wasn't her in that article, still sad to hear from the article :P. VxJasonxV (talk) 06:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I think the adult film star that was in Kunoichi was Sora Aoi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kw64m7HMV7E That's during the 6th Competition though. -scnoi1217 69.142.208.48 (talk) 02:02, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps Mori was just a model, and Sora was the actual film star. I don't really remember. Long story short, Sora is not who I had in mind. Nice video though :3 VxJasonxV (talk) 22:01, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Vandal: 89.240.212.151

Be on the lookout for any posts with this IP address. He is removing the references and putting in false info about the competition. 69.142.208.48 (talk) 14:04, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

KUNOICHI All-Stars?

Haven't looked at this article recently but just noticed this. Did G4 make up their own group of All-Stars? There is no such group for the TBS version. The closest is that the Japanese SASUKE wiki mentions notable or leading competitors who are like All-Stars but no group was ever officially ordained as the KUNOICHI All-Stars. We can't go about making up our own groups people or else the credibility of this article goes out the window. Lostinube (talk) 05:23, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Lilypads or Stepping Stones

I was looking at the obstacles chart and I saw that the Lilypads was changed BACK to the Stepping Stones. Now If the REAL name is the Stepping Stones then Thank You whoever changed it back, but If the REAL name is the Lilypads then I'll Change It back. So can some one tell me the real name for the obstacle then Please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.237.251.147 (talk) 18:23, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

It's the Lilypads. I changed it back.--Xterra1 17:47, 28 September 2008 (UTC) Oh and PS:I am one of this article's maintainers,and I change it whenever I see it,becuase the obstacle is called the "lilypads". I noticed the Japenese announcer called the secone dobstacle the "maru-ta jammu",which means,"log jam".

On a side note,the swinging ladder in KUNOICHI 7's Second Stage is NOT the Climbing Bars. It's the Monkey Bars,for crying out loud!--Xterra1 15:15, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh,fucking hell! WHY do people keep damn well changing it?! It's Lilypads,for God's sake! NOT the Stepping Stones. And the Second Stage? MONKEY,not Climbing Bars.--Xterra1 01:17, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

It's not friggin lilypads! At no point does the announcer call it the lilypads. Lilypads was a substitute made up name for it when pictures of the course hit the internet before the competition aired. Since the real name isn't known, use the G4 name 133.51.76.251 (talk) 07:49, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
