American Ninja Warrior 7

American Ninja Warrior 7 was the seventh season of American Ninja Warrior. The season premiered on May 25th, 2015, and hosted six cities for qualifying rounds in Venice Beach, Kansas City (new city), Houston (new city), Orlando (new city), Pittsburgh (new city), and San Pedro (new city; which was served for the competitors who were the current or former members of U.S. military), with the national finals being held in Las Vegas. For this season, Matt Iseman returned as the host for his sixth season, Akbar Gbaja-Biamila returned as the co-host for his third season, and Kristine Leahy replaced Jenn Brown as the sideline reporter. Also, for the first time ever, the logo of American Ninja Warrior was changed (excluding the color changes for the logo during the first six seasons of American Ninja Warrior).

This season was a historic moment in American Ninja Warrior history, as Geoff Britten and Isaac Caldiero completed all 4 stages during Las Vegas national finals, becoming the first and second persons to achieve total victory on American Ninja Warrior, and each of them earn the title as the first and second "American Ninja Warrior" respectively. This also marked the first time in which kanzenseiha/total victory had achieved outside SASUKE tournaments (excluding the kanzenseiha in KUNOICHI tournaments, since American Ninja Warrior was mostly based on SASUKE). Also, starting on this season, the cash prize for completing Stage Four is doubled from $500,000 (from the past three American Ninja Warrior seasons) to $1,000,000.
