Midoriyama Studio City



Midoriyama, officially known as Midoriyama Studio City, MSC in short (緑山スタジオ・シティ) is a TBS-owned studio, which is the chosen location for 37 out of the 38 tournaments of SASUKE, as well as the first eight KUNOICHI tournaments (since SASUKE 1, KUNOICHI 9 onwards were held indoors). In SASUKE 36 and SASUKE 37, only First, Second, and Third Stages were held in there, due to Final Stage being brought to Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse as part of broadcasting the Final Stage live (although an empty Final Stage is still visibly seen there). Despite the meaning of its name, which is "Green Mountain", Midoriyama is not a mountain. Midoriyama is also often incorrectly referred to as "Mount Midoriyama", which would translate into "Mount Green Mountain".

The term "Mount Midoriyama" has been used in most of the SASUKE/Ninja Warrior international format. On American Ninja Warrior, Mount Midoriyama is a term for the complete four-stages obstacle courses (also known as Las Vegas' National Finals, starting on American Ninja Warrior 4), although sometimes refers to the Stage Four tower. American Ninja Warrior competitors, who advanced to the Las Vegas' National Finals (or Japan's SASUKE during American Ninja Challenge era and the first three seasons of American Ninja Warrior), are known as the "Mount Midoriyama Veteran". On Ninja Warrior UK, Australian Ninja Warrior, and most of the other SASUKE/Ninja Warrior international format, Mount Midoriyama is a term for the SASUKE's Final Stage Tower.
