International Ninja Day 2023: Date, History and Interesting ways to celebrate it

According to Smithsonian research, Jinichi Kawakami, an engineer, may be the last living ninja and laments about instructing kids not to murder or poison.

International Ninja Day 2023: Ninja Burger founded International Ninja Day on December 5 in 2003 to celebrate their burgers’ Ninja “speed” delivery. Ninjas are wonderful otherwise. We adore them and secretly want to be one. Wear a ninja mask to work to annoy your coworkers with ninja skills and star-throwing! A day off? Wear ninja gear at the mall or go wild.

History of International Ninja Day

Due to the premiere of the Tom Cruise film “The Last Samurai,” which featured a ninja-vs-samurai conflict, December 5 was chosen for the first International Ninja Day. Since then, the celebration has grown and gained press, capitalizing on Americans’ love of the black-clad assassins from the original issues of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” to swordplay-focused games like “Dungeons and Dragons” and a slew of Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris films from the 60s and 70s.

The satirical website’s founders’ motives are secondary to their goal: No one will stare at you if you say “Haiii-yah!” when you grab a donut from the meeting room box on December 5. Have mock karate battles, hurl paper clips like shuriken, and drink sake after work. Your key to mystical power on Day of the Ninja!

International Ninja Day: How to Celebrate

Learn martial arts

Want to maximize your inherent ninja skills? A few karate, judo, or ninjutsu classes won’t harm. Can they?

Dress ninja-style

A “Mortal Kombat” style with black sweats, headband, and hi-tops with a sleeveless black T should work. Your ninja costume will be unique. Avoid detection!

Play “Ninja Burger” RPG

You can pick among Ninja Burger franchise roles like “driver,” “baker,” and others in the 2nd version. Try it for nostalgia.

Five Amazing Real Ninja Facts

First of his kind

The first confirmed ninja was Otomono Sahiti, a spy for Prince Shotoku.

Ancient tales

Japanese legend says the original ninja was half-man, half-crow and descended from spirits.

Those who cannot…

The first Japanese ninja school was created in 1162 when a fallen samurai decided to instruct instead of commit suicide.

Last of the fading breed

According to Smithsonian research, Jinichi Kawakami, an engineer, may be the last living ninja and laments about instructing kids not to murder or poison.

Generational inheritance

Ninjas, like other artisans, taught their sons and daughters martial and espionage skills, who then taught their own children.

Why We Love This day

It can be complimented.

In a sales office, someone may say, “She’s our ninja.” If a friend dropped something but caught it before it fell, you could laugh, “Ninja!” Comments like these are fitting for December 5.

Ninjas are enigmatic

Even though the Ninja Burger spoof is funny, actual ninjas inspire us like antiheroes do in movies and books. We’re drawn to the lone figure with a life-or-death mission. Today, consider why.

Allowing yourself to relax is good.

Maintaining your “game face” daily can be exhausting and stressful. National Today discusses holidays daily because of that. We believe in “let your hair down,” and International Ninja Day is the perfect day to do so.
