McNinja	comment	Ninjas are cool. It's a simple, straightforward fact that, unless you are a pirate, seems to be universally recognized. They're also very, very Japanese. However, just as McDonald's came out of the United States and conquered the world, so the ninja have set up local branches all over the globe. The McNinja takes advantage of the comedy potential inherent in the non-Japanese ninja. Imposing the "ninja" template on a different culture can result in anything from ninja-waiters to ninja-doctors... especially if you invoke a national stereotype or two. It's also a convenient visible shorthand. Ninjas have a reputation for being killing machines with nearly supernatural stealth. Showing someone like this conveys the idea without the need to explain it. Plus, people tend to think a ninja suit is quite suited to sneaking about, unless you stand in plain sight. In real life... not so much. The traditional black suit of ninjas is actually horribly conspicuous, even at night. You want mottled grays for night stealth, solid black just silhouettes you. The "traditional" ninja outfit isn't even the traditional garb of actual ninjas, who would actually have worn the everyday clothing of some low-ranking nobody who had business being where they needed to go. It's the traditional garb of Japanese stage hands and signaled to theatre audiences that they were supposed to ignore them. In some plays, one of the "stage hands" would suddenly jump out and shank someone — thus revealing themselves to be an actual ninja actually there to shank someone. Sometimes it's implied or stated outright that ninja started in Japan, but have since secretly branched out; after all, what do a group based around infiltration and stealth care about national borders? This can be justified, however, if the ninja have moved to another country and then passed ninjitsu on to the locals; it's not as unfeasible as you might think. Something similar has happened before in real life: Japanese Judo was brought to Brazil in 1914, and developed into the style of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Can also be justified if the McNinja learned ninjitsu from actual ninja manuals which they have (somehow) obtained. Characters who are non-Japanese but explicitly were trained in ninjitsu by real Japanese ninja usually don't count as McNinja. Fantasy worlds that have McNinjas might also be a case of Culture Chop Suey. McNinjas may also find a near-future home in Americasia. Named after Doctor McNinja, the Irish-American Ninja Doctor of webcomic fame. A.K.A. Gaijinja, as a portmanteau of gaijin (meaning foreigner) and ''ninja'. Compare and contrast Western Samurai in all aspects: also being a non-Japanese character as the McNinja; being a samurai, historical counterpart of ninjas; and being portrayed seriously instead of just for the Rule of Cool.

Just to clarify, Guy's nationality was originally stated to be Japanese in Final Fight and his "real name" was even written in kanji in manuals and such. From the Alpha series and onward, his nationality was changed to American, but it was unknown if this was a retcon or if he became a naturalized American after Final Fight; as of Super Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter X Tekken it's almost officially certain as being a retcon, since his website lists his place of birth as the USA.

McNinja / int_33acebd8	comment	Chipp Zanuff of Guilty Gear is an American ninja. He isn't too happy about that, either, and often bugs the Japanese native Anji to teach him Japanese so that he can at least act the part. He learned the art from a Japanese assassin (a feat in itself considering they're short in supply in-series). From the game's Spiritual Successor, BlazBlue, Bang. Japan, along with most of the world, was wiped out two hundred years previous by the Black Beast, but he's a self-proclaimed ninja from Ikaruga, an in-universe Fantasy Counterpart Culture of Japan. The thing is, he doesn't look Japanese, and from his physical appearance, you probably wouldn't tell he was a ninja either. He looks more like an unkempt homeless dude who inexplicably carries a giant nail around. And judging by the location of his hometown, he's Eastern European. A non-ninja example, but Jin and Hakumen both have samurai motifs, in both personality and playstyle. Both of them use Japanese swords(Jin's is a katana and Hakumen's is a Nodachi), and even most of their attacks are Japanese themed as well, both having a Distortion Drive very reminiscent of a Single-Stroke Battle. Unsurprisingly, its later revealed they're the same person, well Alternate Self to be more precise. How does it come to this trope? Well Word of God say they're British.

McNinja / int_35f1d3fb	comment	G.I. Joe features actual Japanese and non-Japanese ninja fighting side by side on both sides. Larry Hama has stated that he specifically sought to avoid All Asians Know Martial Arts in his writing and establish that personal investment is what matters most. One's ancestry does not automatically make anyone better or worse suited for learning martial arts. Snake-Eyes, the Joe's most famous ninja, actually has a great deal of detail put into how a blonde-haired Caucasian could get ninja training, and he's actually a fairly practical sort for a Mcninja (moreso then most ninjas in Japanese media these days), wearing black commando gear, using whatever weapons are effective (including guns and explosives), and remaining perfectly silent at all times. A few bonus points go to Bushido, real name Lloyd Goldfine from Hollis, Queens. Also known as "the Snow Ninja" because he learned his moves in Iceland. Oh, and, according to his filecard, his grandfather was a samurai, and that's his helmet he wears as part of his outfit. In any case, one of the few Jewish New Yorker ninjas you'll ever run across. Budo is a samurai from Sacramento named Kyle. He's an infantryman and hand-to-hand combat instructor in GI Joe, and he serves wearing full samurai armor wielding a katana and wakizashi. He does have legit samurai ancestry (those swords were his great-great-grandfather's!), but it might be on his mother's side; his surname isnt Japanese at all. Budo's filecard does have some fun with the concept (after all, Hasbro makes the toys, and Larry Hama has to make sense of them in the filecards), portraying him as a Harley-riding metalhead when he's off-duty.

His villainous Earth-65 counterpart goes a step farther as he was actually raised by the Hand after they killed his previous mentor, Stick. Deathstroke, while looking very ninja-like, really isn't a ninja at all, getting all his training from the US Army, combat in Vietnam, and his powers from a serum designed to enhance his abilities.

McNinja / int_39dd055f	comment	Tsubame Tsubakura from Battle B-Daman. He is called by his original name in the Japanese anime and manga, and is implied (judging from this image of his parents)◊, to be Indo-Japanese. For the English dub however, he was inexplicably changed to now being Scottish; with his name then becoming ''Terry McScotty'', with a Scottish voice actor to boot. And so, he was a Scottish Ninja. As a result though, it could be said that he is probably one of the best and most literal examples of this trope to have ever been created. As a Ninja, he thus is able to perform both the Ninja Run and Ninja Log - as only a Scottish Ninja can. As a Mcninja, he thus claims to be a Scottish "Highlander" - yet who somehow "came from Japan".

Additionally, Humongous Mecha aren't exactly the stealthiest of machines. Also, one of the villains in Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, Miratrix, is played by New Zealander actress Ria Vandervis. She and her boss Kamdor are also good at smoke exits and activate spells by throwing sutras. (Or, well, just making ninja hand-gestures and sutras come from... somewhere... it looks cool, okay?) Well, she subbed in for Kaze no Shizuka, who was a bona-fide ninja. In season 3 of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers there's Ninjor, a bright blue alien Ninja with a body made of armored plates and a voice that could shatter glass; and then the Aquitian Rangers, who, due to footage from the aforementioned Kakuranger, have ninja-like suits and the powers used by the original team's Ninja Ranger forms. Of course, Ninjor's connected to them, too, so it makes in-universe sense, but they're still Aquatic Alien Power Ranger ninjas.

Except inasmuch as Assassins are explicitly no good at unarmed combat - because no Assassin is ever unarmed. There were the Ninja agents being used (as a throwaway gag) by the Men In Saffron (History Monks) in Thief of Time. While the MIS did, admittedly, train their members in various martial arts, Lu Tze's opinion of the ninja isn't all that high. "Agatean for 'The Passing Wind'." Interesting side note; the best of them in both cases (Vetinari and Lu Tse) are those who ditch most/all the (stereo)typical ninja stuff. Ninja make a token appearance in Interesting Times, even though the Agatean Empire is more Chinese than Japanese. Magrat went through a phase where she was interested in martial arts, even though the other witches thought it was a stupid idea because she's well, a witch, and doesn't need to be a Kung-Fu Wizard. (Incidentally, Lancre is roughly Discworld's Scotireland, so she's more literally a Mcninja than some.)

McNinja / int_49a88442	comment	The setting of Final Fantasy XIV is a country called Eorzea. The art of ninjutsu comes from the foreign nation of Doma, so the Player Character by default becomes a Mcninja if they chose to become the Ninja Job (with the exception of Au Ra from the Raen clan, who hail from the same region). Redway, a villainous NPC from the later quests in the Rogue/Ninja storyline, is a darker take on the trope than most; he was constantly overlooked by his master for his lack of Doman blood and went bad largely due to favoritism being shown to his fellow (Doman) students.

McNinja / int_49ad83ee	comment	In World of Warcraft, some Rogue talent builds (especially Subtlety) and gear sets will result in a character pretty much exactly like a stereotypical ninja. However, only two options out of all the playable races can avoid this trope: Night Elves (though just barely since they have lots of other influences as well) and some Humans (specifically Humans using the Asian features provided by Shadowlands.) This means that it's possible to play as a Medieval European Fantasy ninja, a dwarven ninja, a Mayincatec troll ninja, a Victorian British werewolf ninja... The decidedly Chinese-influenced Pandaren have their own ninja clan: the Shado-pan.

Then there was the Cyborg Ninja in Metal Gear Solid, who was actually Gray Fox, Snake's combat buddy from the first two MSX games. And finally, there's Raiden, a former Liberian Child Soldier turned American commando, in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, who helped Snake during the events of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, but became a Cyborg Ninja afterward (noticed a pattern?). There's also Olga Gurlukovich in MGS2, who was not actually a cyborg minja, but was disguised as one when she helped out Raiden as a double agent. The Tengu Commandos in MGS2 are Elite Mooks who wear ninja-like high-tech equipment, but are all Russians. In addition to Raiden making a return in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, we also have "Jetstream" Samuel Rodrigues, a Brazilian samurai.

Aside from throwing shurikens and wielding katanas, they're also adept at tossing smokebombs, throwing a barrage of kunais, delivering deadly spin kicks, double jumping with fancy tech attached to their legs, and calling out every one of these manuevers when they do it because it's cool.

McNinja / int_6ac55ec7	comment	The Ninja class in a Dungeons & Dragons expansion can be taken by anybody capable of PC class levels, and the book itself states that ninja could be anyone. Given the nature of D&D settings, this means you may well encounter ninja wizards, ninja orcs, ninja Cat Folk (the racial abilities really fit the class by the way), ninja barbarians (figure that one out), ninja Giants, ninja pirate zombies... In The Complete Ninja's Handbook for AD&D's second edition, the ninja is an entirely separate class which was essentially a thief with reduced thief abilities, a new martial arts system, a clan, and a few new items. One kit was also capable of very limited magic, while another had a very gimped form of the fighter class's weapon specialization. Of course, for reasons unknown to posterity, elves could not be ninja, but dwarves could. The Monk class likely also fits, at least in spirit. A class clearly inspired by the legends and films of the East with everything from Supernatural Martial Arts to Ki Manipulation... being drop into a game that is predominantly built up of various permutations of Medieval European Fantasy. At least the Forgotten Realms have Kara-Tor to justify it.

McNinja / int_6b85085e	comment	Mortal Kombat is full of "ninja" characters, and not all of them are Japanese (in fact, the only major one who actually is Japanese is series poster boy, Scorpion). Most of them are related to the Lin Kuei, a ninja-like organization rooted in China that claims to be either a contemporary or even a precursor to Japanese ninja, though Sub-Zero is particularly insistent that the two are not interchangeablenote In the real world, it's believed that the Lin Kuei were actually a real thing in ancient China; they obviously weren't magically-powered assassins, but records suggest they were a monastic cult of survivalists with superficial similarities to ninjas, and there are even (mostly-debunked) theories that they inspired ninja. Both known incarnations of Sub-Zero, Sektor, and other characters of Grandmaster heritage are explicitly all Chinese. Frost, Sub-Zero II's former apprentice, is of undetermined ethnicity, but mostly appears to be Caucasian. Other members of the Lin Kuei included Cyrax (from Botswana), and Smoke (from the Czech Republic). Reptile and Ermac are also considered two of the series "ninjas", but the former is from a different realm called Zaterra and the latter is an amalgam of souls. There is also Tremor whose nationality is never stated, but he works for the international crime syndicate Black Dragon.

Also, the Wulfenbachs had the Black Squad as a high-tech variety and Stealth Fighters as a commando variety. The former gave a good fright to Wooster and were mopped up by Zola's minions (i.e. Knights of Jove operatives) prepared to face them, and the latter ended up at the wrong end of Conservation of Ninjutsu in an overt mission where they ran into a bunch of JÃ¤ger generals and one Smoke Knight.

And by "not as much emphasis" we mean "none at all", at least in the Sunbow episodes. It didn't help that following the first two miniseries, the cartoon's writers had a hard time using a fully-masked mute ninja commando, so they put him in the background. The DiC seasons featured Snake-Eyes more, and he's been a core character in Sigma 6 and Renegades.

McNinja / int_a95d1979	comment	In Shadow Hearts: From The New World, one of your party members is a Brazilian ninja, who hails from a hidden ninja village deep in the Amazon rain forest. Brazilian-style ninjutsu apparently centers on turning any vaguely elongated object into a sword by sticking a hilt on it. This party member is also a Highly-Visible Ninja, considering his bright red-blue costume (with a glowing deely-bopper antennae on the headpiece), and his habit of trying to hide... by holding up an American flag in front of himself. Did we mention he also works for the CIA? Frank actually seems to be of Slavic descent, disappointing his father by leaving to study ninjutsu in the jungles of South America instead of taking over the family fireworks business. He later decides to bridge the eternal gap between fireworks and ninjas by sticking a hilt on a firework and using it as a sword. Even if he were less conspicuous, he's not a very good ninja, as he's constantly berated by his master — a giant talking cat who serves as second-in-command to Al Capone. Ninjutsu seems to be a sport of world-wide popularity in that world, as he gains at least one skill by winning a Mini-Game against a ninja from a rival German ninjutsu school.

He gets sidetracked by an 'authentic' ninja forcing him to help her take down the camp for fraudulent claims of being affiliated with her father. In 2022, the Punisher himself has become a ninja as he becomes one of the highest ranking leaders within the Hand.

She's introduced in the first game as just a schoolgirl who moonlights as an assassin, implicitly invoking Japanese motifs as merely an aesthetic choice, but by the time of the sequel, Shinobu spent the years after graduating building up her legitimacy as a ninja, touring Asia and becoming the #1 assassin on the continent.

Armed with twin gladii, they wear intimidating masks, black shrouds and well-crafted armour. They can hide practically anywhere in the wilderness, they have exceptional stamina, fighting ability, speed and morale. To round it all off, they operate with less than half the number of a more conventional unit type, perhaps invoking the law of Conservation of Ninjutsu. Their role is to flank and ambush the enemy, and perform the least capably in a straight-up fight against superior numbers. However, if Arcani units get the armor and weapon bonuses of a well-built-up city, they can stand their ground against Gladiators and Praetorians without much trouble. Urban Cohorts not so much.

He even does the Kuji-in, carries Kunai and has a friendly rivalry with Tekken's other "ninja" Yoshimitsu. Many players have noted that Raven is like a mix of Blade and Simon Pheonix from Demolition Man, two roles played by Wesley Snipes. When Namco was asked about the similarities being intentional, they stated that they simply wanted a true ninjutsu practitioner and a "cool black guy" for a character, and that the similarities were purely coincidental. In Tekken 7, he is replaced with a black woman ninja known as Master Raven.

In a recent story we learn that Diabolik was taught martial arts and stealth in a ninja-like school in a fictional East-Asian country, and had to wear an Hollywood ninja suit during the lessons to keep his face a secret from the external students (the ones who were there to learn martial arts and not how to be better criminals). After being accidentally unmasked during a lesson, he crafted his trademark black suit because it makes him more difficult to unmask and makes grappling his clothes more difficult, as he explains when the teacher chastise him.

McNinja / int_ef661e97	comment	Vega, from the Street Fighter series, refers to his fighting style as "Spanish Ninjitsu". He's a cage fighter, so he can afford to be highly visible, and it's more referencing the fact he studied Ninjitsu and mixed it with techniques he developed as a matador. In Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game, it's claimed that "Spanish Ninjitsu" is actually a combination of Ninjitsu and Savate (a European kickboxing style) with added emphasis on acrobatics. The Street Fighter RPG also claims that the last "world champion" of Sumo Wrestling that E. Honda beat was American. Sodom from Street Fighter Alpha and Final Fight may be trying to be a ninja, or a samurai, or something else entirely. It's hard to tell because for all his enthusiasm he's so very bad at trying to be Japanese. Guy (one of the three heroes of Final Fight and a member of the SF roster in more recent games) plays this trope half-straight; he's a Japanese-born naturalized American, although you probably wouldn't have been able to tell this had it not been for supplementary materials. Just to clarify, Guy's nationality was originally stated to be Japanese in Final Fight and his "real name" was even written in kanji in manuals and such. From the Alpha series and onward, his nationality was changed to American, but it was unknown if this was a retcon or if he became a naturalized American after Final Fight; as of Super Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter X Tekken it's almost officially certain as being a retcon, since his website lists his place of birth as the USA. Street Fighter 6 adds Kimberly, an African-American McNinja who utilizes spray cans in place of smoke bombs. She's an apprentice of the aforementioned Guy.

Well, okay, he was really a clone of a Japanese guy, Kyoji Kasshu, the main character's brother ("Schwarz Bruder" meaning "Black brother"... more or less). But he took the identity from the original Schwarz Bruder, who is a proper example. Schwarz isn't even the first example, either; the prequel manga Gundam Fight 7th introduces us to Wolf Heinrich, suggesting that Germany has a long-standing tradition of ninja. Mobile Suit Gundam 00 has a variation with Graham Aker in his "Mr. Bushido" persona- a blond, green-eyed samurai. The infamous Moon Moon arc of Gundam ZZ included Aztec Space Ninjas! And then there's half-Japanese/half-(African-)American Nils Nilsen from Gundam Build Fighters, who dons a black ninja garb, with katana and everything, whenever he's spying on someone/something.
