Discovering Ryan's World
How Ryan Started on YouTube
Ryan Kaji's parents, Shion and Loann, met while studying at Texas Tech University. Loann's family moved to the United States from Vietnam. She grew up in Houston and became a teacher. Shion came to the U.S. from Japan in high school. He later earned a master's degree in engineering.
Ryan began making YouTube videos in March 2015. He was inspired by other kids who reviewed toys online. His mom, Loann, soon left her teaching job. She started working full-time on the YouTube channel to help Ryan.
Before their channel went live, the family chose "Kaji" as their on-screen last name. This is the name everyone knows them by today.
Growing the Ryan's World Brand
In 2017, Ryan's parents teamed up with PocketWatch. This company helps children's media grow. PocketWatch helps with marketing and creating cool merchandise for Ryan's channels.
Together, they launched many exciting projects. In 2018, they released an app called Tag with Ryan. It's an endless runner game for kids on phones and tablets. In 2019, they created a TV show for preschoolers. It's called Ryan's Mystery Playdate.
More games followed, like Race with Ryan in 2019. This racing game features Ryan and his friends. It's available on popular gaming consoles and computers. A new animated series, Super Spy Ryan, started in November 2020 on Amazon Kids+.
In December 2020, Ryan's World launched an official game on Roblox. Another video game, Ryan's Rescue Squad, came out in March 2022. It's an action-adventure game for many gaming platforms. In September 2023, Ryan's family's company, Sunlight Entertainment, worked with Toei Animation. They created Elemon, an anime-style series. This show teaches kids about chemistry in a fun way.
Ryan's World Impact
Inspiring the Toy Industry
Ryan Kaji has made a big splash in the toy world. His toy review videos get millions of views. These videos can even help toys become more popular and sell out! Chris Williams from PocketWatch once compared Ryan's influence to Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants.
At the American International Toy Fair in New York City in 2018, Ryan announced his own toy line. It's called Ryan's World. These toys were first sold only at Walmart stores.
The Ryan's World channel was named the highest-earning YouTube channel by Forbes in 2018 and 2019. The Kaji family has also earned a lot from their Ryan's World merchandise. Sales of these products reached over $250 million in 2021.
Keeping Kids Safe Online
It's important for everyone to know when they are watching an advertisement. In 2019, some groups raised concerns about how ads were shown in videos for young children. They wanted to make sure kids could tell the difference between a fun review and a paid advertisement.
Because of these discussions, YouTube and Google worked to improve their rules. They made changes to help protect children online. These new rules help ensure that content for kids is clear about what is an ad. This helps keep younger viewers safe and informed while they watch videos.
