Ninjas were a caste of warriors in ancient Japan.
Popular Culture
"Ninjas" have been glamorized as an icon of alternative pop culture in recent years.[1] They appear frequently in video games, as well, alongside samurai as an alternative warrior caste.[2] The "ninja" in modern American pop culture is secretive, killing by stealth, and employing deception as a main modus operandi. This is somewhat of a glamorization of the actual history. Famous modern day depictions of the ninja include Chuck Norris' "Walker: Texas Ranger" and Wolf from the American Gladiators television series.
Holiday
The first Day of the Ninja was held on December 5, 2003.
