Survivor (サバイバー, Sabaibā) was a Japanese version of the Survivor game show, broadcast on the Tokyo Broadcasting System on Tuesdays.
Its hosts were Neptune as 'Presenter', and Munehiro Tokita, a voice actor, as 'Guide Staff'. Four series were broadcast from April 2002 to March 2003.
The prize for Sole Survivors was 10,000,000 yen.
Format and rules
Japanese Survivor followed the format of American Survivor, with some differences.
In all series, sixteen contestants were separated into two tribes ('teams' in the Japanese version) which consisted of four men and four women. When ten or nine players remained, the contestants merged into one team. Original team colors were yellow and light blue; the merged team's color was green.
When a player was forced out of the game due to sickness, he/she could not be a member of the jury.
In the event of a tie at Tribal Councils, numbers of past votes were used, and a player who had obtained the larger number of votes was eliminated.
