Willi Ninja is one of the most popular and richest Dancer who was born on April 12, 1961 in Middletown, New York, United States.
William Roscoe Leake (April 12, 1961 – September 2, 2006), better known as Willi Ninja, was an American dancer and choreographer best known for his appearance in the documentary film Paris Is Burning.
Willi Ninja started the House of Ninja in 1982, with Sandy Apollonia Ninja, despite not having been part of a house previously or winning three grand prizes, which was generally seen as a requirement to start a house. The name Ninja came from the house’s Asian and martial arts influences coupled with the fact that people in the ballroom scene did not know who they were and they “seemed to come out of nowhere”. The House of Ninja had a reputation for being multiracial; most houses at the time were African-American, with the notable exception of the Latino House of Xtravaganza. The House of Ninja notably included white men in their competitions. The house closed in 1989 and reopened for a second time in 1991 and reopened a third time by 2003. The House of Ninja currently has over 220 members worldwide. The oldest living Ninja is Archie Burnett Ninja.
