A ninja is a stock character in Japanese and international popular culture. The cultural references listed below are separated by category: manga, novels, comics, television and music. Anime, live-action films and video games are discussed in separate articles.

Depictions of ninja in fiction range from realistic to exaggerated.[citation needed] Fictional ninja wear masks and bodysuits of various colors, wield katanas, use ninjutsu techniques and magical powers, and are organized into clans.[citation needed] Although they are depicted as nearly invincible when they are the heroes of a story, ninja may also be used as cannon fodder to be dispatched by a story's protagonist.[citation needed]

In modern Japan, ninjas are seen as a national myth stemming from a combination of old folk tales and modern day popular culture.[1] Ninja are popular characters in Japanese folklore, jidaigeki literature and the performing arts;[citation needed] Ishikawa Goemon was the subject of a number of kabuki plays, and Sarutobi Sasuke has appeared in Japanese children's stories since 1911.[citation needed] Koga Unôn Ninjutsu Kogaryû is a 1916 silent film.[citation needed] Ninja-themed films and books became popular in Japanese culture during the 1950s and early 1960s.[citation needed] In Japan the word shinobi and its variants are used, rather than "ninja".[citation needed]

The first major appearance of ninja in Western pop culture was a secret commando force used by Japanese intelligence in the James Bond film, You Only Live Twice (1967).[citation needed] The 1960s TV series The Samurai sparked interest in ninja among young Australian viewers, but ninja were unnoticed in other Western countries until later.[citation needed] Western interest in ninja increased during the 1980s, particularly in the United States where several American ninja movies starring Sho Kosugi were released early in the decade, contributing to worldwide "ninja-mania".[citation needed] Later ninja-themed international hit media franchises include Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (introduced in the late 1980s) and Naruto (introduced in the late 1990s).[2][3]

Literature

Novels

Ninja-themed novels include:

Ninja have minor roles in Shōgun, Thief of Time, Vineland,[33] and the Young Samurai series.

Non-Japanese comics

In the Marvel Universe ninja have appeared as both heroes and villains. Examples include Spider-Man's foe White Ninja,[34] X-Men members Psylocke and Revanche, along with supporting character Yukio, Ghost Rider's foes Deathwatch and Death Ninja,[35] Wolverine's mentor Ogun, Hawkeye (as Ninja Ronin), the Punisher's friend Katherine Yakamoto (from Shadowmasters),[36] and Pacific Overlords operative Kuroko (Aya Komatsu). In the Marvel Mangaverse, Spider-Man is the last member of a ninja clan. A sinister ninja cult, the Hand, appears in X-Men and Daredevil. The cult and its associates were responsible for the martial training of Psylocke, Elektra, Daredevil, Black Tarantula, Kitty Pryde, Lady Bullseye and Wolverine. The Hand's heroic counterpart is The Chaste, which struggles with its Korean offshoot the True Believers,[37] including Dragonfly (Meiko Yin).[38] Characters with ninja abilities also appear in the DC Universe; one is martial artist and assassin Lady Shiva, who kills Armless Master. DC's The New 52 relaunch introduced the character Kunoichi, a member of the Blackhawks.

Characters with the sort of mystical and superhuman martial arts abilities attributed to the ninja occur in the DC Universe. One character who is portrayed in a fashion similar to a ninja is master martial artist and assassin Lady Shiva; Shiva also killed Armless Master, who had trained both Catwoman and Hellhound. The fourth Batgirl, Cassandra Cain, also has the qualities of the Western perception of a ninja (there is also a book titled Batman and the Ninja). The retconned stealth and martial arts training of the recent Batman incarnations has led many latter day Batman fans to assume that Batman is a ninja; Ra's Al Ghul specifically mentions ninja during his training of Bruce Wayne. One alternative-universe comic even substitutes Batman with a Japanese female ninja named Komori (Bat).[39] One alternative version of Robin has him named Tengu and raised by Cat-Ninja (Catwoman) in feudal Japan.

In the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) series, all four main characters and many of their friends and foes are ninja, mostly from the Foot Clan (a pastiche of Marvel's group The Hand), including Donatello, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Splinter, Shredder and Karai. The franchise achieved a high popularity, resulting in a franchise of multiple films, television series, video games, and a wide range of toys and other merchandise.

The comic version of G.I. Joe has featured ninja far more than the cartoon series, and many story arcs revolved around Scarlett, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Jinx, Kamakura, Firefly and the Arashikage ninja clan (which consisted of an extended family of ninja characters never featured in the toy line or cartoon). Other characters in the comic who received ninja training from the Arashikage clan and their associates were Cobra Commander's son Billy Kessler and the shape-shifter Zartan.

Other ninja-themed comics include:

Less notable or short-lived titles include Codename: Ninja,[50] Corporate Ninja,[51] Savage Ninja,[52] Surban Jersey Ninja She-Devils,[53] and Zombee.[54] The Amelia Rules! series included A Very Ninja Christmas.

Ninja have supporting roles in Chastity, G.I. Combat (Kana[55]), Karate Kommandos,[56] Lucha Libre (the Pom Pom Ninjas),[57] Les Naufragés d'Ythaq, Masters of the Universe (Ninjor),[58] Rebirth (the hero's ally, Eiji Inaba),[59] Sam Noir (villains),[60] Scott Pilgrim (Roxanne "Roxie" Richter), Spike: Shadow Puppets, Sonic the Hedgehog (Uma Arachnis and the Arachne), The Order of the Stick (Therkla and others), The Tick (Oedipus),[61] Usagi Yojimbo (ninja of the Neko,[62] Mogura and Komori clans, including Kashira Chizu),[63] Y: The Last Man (Toyota).[64]
