Brian Wecht, known as Ninja Brian, is a comedian, musician and theoretical physicist (no, seriously). He is a pianist, keyboardist, and ninja and forms half of the band Ninja Sex Party alongside Danny.
Ninja Sex Party
In Ninja Sex Party, Brian portrays the character Ninja Brian who is the keyboardist and Danny's silent sidekick. Typically in all the videos, Brian doesn't speak at all and gives a deadly stare directly into the camera at the viewers in many shots. In most of their videos Danny will end up insulting Brian which angers him and causes him to kill Danny at the end.
Ninja Brian's character has also has been shown to have the ability to destroy things with his mind seen in "Let's Get This Terrible Party Started" (which Jon, Barry and Ross happened to appear in, and was directed by Arin). In the video "Best Friends Forever" it is shown that Brian has a bad habit of killing every friend Danny makes and even anyone who tries to be his friends as well when Danny tried to have him make friends with another ninja named Ninja Jim.
Brian has also achieved many unlikely feats. He killed the Slenderman in "Let's Get This Terrible Party Started"; recovered the 'Sacred Chalice' with Danny in "The Sacred Chalice (Parts 1-4)"; killed most of the inhabitants of the Mushroom Kingdom in "Best Friends Forever" and blew up the sun with a laser fired from his eyes in "NSP Theme Song".

Nominations
Ninja Brian has been called the best representation of real ninjas in popular culture by the popular YouTube character Gaijin Goombah (a member of Game Theory) in his video on real ninjas in video games, stating that he (Brian) never speaks on camera, never reveals his face, and (although he was wildly incorrect in this last comment) doesn't kill unless absolutely necessary, coming close to real [[1]] in that respect.
