Masashi Oguchi

Masashi Oguchi was a 30-year old auto salesman, who competed on the first season of American Ninja Warrior.

On the course, he became well-known for wearing flip-flops on the course, as opposed to running shoes. However, the actual run was short-lived, as on the Rope Swing, he leaned too far backwards and attempted to dismount to early, causing him to painfully hit his face on the front of the mats and plummet into the water.
