GANBA!! is a high-energy interactive ninja training show for families, created by Jay Painter, Joe Tex, and Brian "Bu-Chan" Walters as a world premiere children's show from the creators of the international comedy hit BATSU!. Families enter the dojo and participate in sword training, physical comedy, martial arts, water fights, and audience challenges to defeat the Batsu no Akuma, the Spirit of Punishment. The cast includes Mariko Iwasa as Sensei Mariko, Yurika Ono as Shinobi Yurika, Rina Maejima as Shinobi Rina, Steve Zegers as Deshi Steve, and Brian Walters as the voice of Batsu no Akuma. The show draws on the Japanese spirit of "ganba" — to encourage one another and never give up — weaving lessons of focus, teamwork, courage, and perseverance throughout the adventure.
