La seguente è una lista che comprende i vari partecipanti che hanno tentato di conquistare la metal tower di Ninja Warrior nelle varie edizioni. Per ogni edizione è presente una tabella in cui vengono indicati i nomi dei concorrenti e gli ostacoli che hanno fermato la loro corsa, oltre allo stage raggiunto e al numero identificativo. Per quanto riguarda il 1° stage, poiché sono molti i concorrenti che non riescono a finire il percorso, vengono citati solamente i nomi degli All-Stars (Kazuhiko Akiyama, Makoto Nagano, Toshihiro Takeda, Shingo Yamamoto, Bunpei Shiratori e Katsumi Yamada) che non sono riusciti a concluderlo, mentre un numero indicherà quanti partecipanti non sono riusciti a terminare lo stage; nella parte relativa al 2°, 3° e 4° stage vengono invece riportati i nomi di tutti coloro che hanno tentato di terminare il percorso.

I partecipanti di uno stesso stage sono disposti in ordine di ostacoli superati con successo, da colui che ne ha superati di più a colui che ne ha superati di meno.

Nelle edizioni 10, 20, 30 e 40 i numeri affidati a ciascun concorrente (che normalmente vanno da 1 a 100) vanno rispettivamente da 901 a 1000, da 1901 a 2000, da 2901 a 3000, e da 3901 a 4000, questo per indicare i 1000 tentativi (in gara 10), i 2000 (in gara 20), i 3000 (in gara 30), e i 4000 (in gara 40), compiuti fino a quel momento, di completare il 1° stage.

Stage I quattro stage sono sempre stati ridisegnati negli ostacoli e nel tempo limite:
