How Ryan's World Started

Ryan Kaji started making YouTube videos in March 2015. He was watching other kids review toys online. He then asked his mom, "How come I'm not on YouTube when all the other kids are?"

Ryan's mom decided to quit her job as a high school chemistry teacher. She wanted to work on the YouTube channel full-time. Before they started the channel, the family changed their real last name to "Kaji" for the show.

Growing the Channel

In 2017, Ryan's parents made a deal with PocketWatch. This company helps children's media grow. PocketWatch helps with marketing and creating merchandise for Ryan's YouTube channels.

In 2018, Ryan ToysReview worked with PocketWatch and WildWorks. They created a fun app called Tag with Ryan. It's an endless runner game for kids on phones and tablets.

In 2019, Ryan ToysReview and PocketWatch also made a TV show. It was a 20-episode series for preschoolers called Ryan's Mystery Playdate. On November 1, 2019, a company called Outright Games released a video game. It was a racing game called Race with Ryan. It featured Ryan Kaji and characters from his brand. You could play it on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Microsoft Windows.

The channel announced a new show called Super Spy Ryan in 2020. It mixes live-action and animation. It premiered on Amazon Kids+. In December 2020, Ryan's World also launched an official game on the gaming platform Roblox. Another video game, Ryan’s Rescue Squad, came out in March 2022. It's an action-adventure game available on many gaming consoles and computers.

Ryan's Impact on Toys

Ryan Kaji has had a big effect on the toy industry. When he reviews a toy, it often gets a lot of views. This can make the toy sell much better. Chris Williams from PocketWatch even compared Ryan to Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants.

At the Toy Fair in New York City in 2018, Ryan announced his own line of toys. They are called Ryan's World toys. He created them with PocketWatch and Bonkers Toys. These toys were first sold only at Walmart starting in August 2018.

The Ryan's World channel has been named the highest-earning YouTube channel by Forbes in 2018 and 2019. The New York Times reported that Ryan's family earns at least $25 million from their "Ryan's World" merchandise sales. These sales totaled over $250 million in 2021.

The channel's description says that most of the toys Ryan reviews are later given to charity. His mom told Tubefilter that Ryan doesn't keep all the toys he gets. They give many of them away to friends, family, and to charity.
