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.
As of 2006, there was one student organization at Rice University describing itself as a "Ninja" operation.[3]
