Related to Airplane Arms. The standard Ninja Run is this: Body tilted forward, low to the ground. Short but fast steps. One forearm crooked in front of the body, apparently to block attacks (two fingers held in front of the mouth optional but prevalent). The other arm behind the back, either crooked or stretched out and high, ready to pull out a bladed weapon (alternatively, both arms can be kept back in this fashion). If the ninja carries a blade while running like this, it is always held in a Reverse Grip. |

Kotaro in Sengoku Basara runs like this, with one hand on his sword hilt. Sasuke and Kasuga too, although both are holding a weapon in each hand. Also Magoichi, despite not being a ninja. | |

The "Shadowplay" segment of 198X. You play as a ninja in this stage, and your running pose sees you tilted forward with your katana in the back. Hitting the slash button allows you to halve everything in your way. | |

Assassins in Guild Wars do this while under the influence of a speed boost. To their credit, unless they're wielding daggers at the time they will sprint in a more standard fashion; daggers are always dual-wielded and held in a standard grip in both hands, meaning it's actually fairly practical to run like this (one dagger is ready to block attacks, the other one is in a position to use as much of your momentum as possible for a strike). | |

In the third season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, the Shogunzords ran like this before combining into the Shogun Megazord. Unfortunately, since the Shogunzords were pretty bulky and blocky, it looked less like a Ninja Run and more like they were running and checking their watches at the same time. | |

City of Heroes has a power called "Ninja Run" available for purchase. It's a low-level speed and jumping boost, suitable as a replacement for travel powers without outclassing them (particularly for characters who shouldn't have any means to fly, teleport, etc.). When running, the character takes on this pose unless they have two weapons drawn in which case they take on Airplane Arms. | |

In the anime version of Saint Seiya, the Asgardian God Warriors Bud and Syd, twins of the Alcor and Mizar stars, always attack in this manner, preparing their deadly claw attack with the arm kept at the back. Their steps are so short and fast they sound like rain. Occasionally, when Seiya or Ikki start their attacks at a great distance from their foe and need to rush forward, they also initiate the Pegasus Meteor Punch and Phoenix Illusion Fist respectively in this manner. | |
