A community portal about Ninja with blogs, videos, and photos. Ninja were agents of a fourteenth century Japanese secret mercenary organization for stealth operations. They acted in feudal Japan, from Kamakura period to Edo period. Their missions included scouting, espionage, sabotage, and assassination, usually for feudal rulers (daimyo or shogun). Verifying information about ninja is a very difficult task. The secrecy in the organization and operations makes any related subject difficult to verify; with ninja, this is further compounded by the specific circumstances of its occurrence in distant lands using a different language, and the myth arisen around them. This compounded dificulty in verification is made nearly impossible by the stealthy lifestyle and multitude of dispatched victims of the ninja. Dead men tell no tales, and, as such, there are very few records of these shuriken-wielding silent killers.

Like most Japanophiles out there, I like G4TV’s Duty Free TV programs… well everything except the Super Big Product Fun Show . That show reminds me of Spike TV Most Extreme Elimination Challenge (MXC). I have a hard time watching that show… I wish it wasn’t a trend to dub over interesting Japanese shows with the purpose of trying to be funny. But that’s for another post.
Ninja Warrior has always been a favorite of mine, and I even did a little tribute to Shingo Yamamoto a few months back... Read Full Story
