Because Stephen Hayes came back from Japan having been taught by Hatsumi, previous grandmaster of the Bujinkan, & started his “Shadows of Iga” training group. Shortly after we got the 80s “ninja boom”.

I knew that my fav hattori hanzo was going to be the top one ninja in this list cause i have already known about his legend says that he was the great ninja in history of time . Litrally in that period people use to call him demon hanzo because he was like a demon when it cames to war or fighting . His skills was on whole another level . He was a leder of ega ninja clan and also considered as a samurai due to his status and respect in shogon tokugawas army ❤❤❤❤

Now I'm almost certain that the script for this video essay was written by AI. Not only an occasional use of AI generative art that look bizarre, swords held backwards or mangled hands, stuck as fillers between stock photos of actual man-made art. The moment he gets to "Jinenkan Hatsumi" I realized that it was AI, down to the script, and I could tell from a mile because I used to study at Bujinkan and am still following and researching and practicing at home (in addition to other Koryu which I have an actual teacher for). Hatsumi Masaaki (Yoshiaki) is the headmaster of Bujinkan, his student Manaka Unsui broke-off from Bujinkan to create Jinenkan, it must have been all scrambled by an AI author who butchered the whole thing, piecing together bits of information in a cohesive yet incorrect way. It was Takamatsu's grandfather (referred to as Toda Shinryuken Masamitsu by Bujinkan and Bugei Ryuha Daijiten) who taught ninjutsu (Gyokko Ryu, Shinden Fudo Ryu, Togakure Ryu, Gyokushin Ryu, and Komugakure Ryu) to Takamatsu (Takamatsu also studies other martial arts from Mizuta Sensei (Takagi Yoshin Ryu) and Ishitani Sensei (Kukishin Ryu, Gikan Ryu, and another branch of Hontai/Takagi Yoshin Ryu)). And there is no lack of photos and videos the creator of this list could have used for the segment about Hatsumi, he's is very much alive and well and still training, there are thousands of photos and videos of him online, he authored many books and instructional videos; and there's no shortage of photos of his teacher Takamatsu Toshitsugu (Chosui) either, there are even some old videos of him. This makes me doubt rest of the information in this essay is not botched as well.

This commenter is right. Mishmashing the word Jinenkan into a hybrid confusion with Hatsumi reeks of an AI mixup. A researching human would not have garbled these things together. If you don't know, it's because you don't know. He set straight facts about the scenario. And Genbukan didn't need mentioning because it wasn't relevant in context to the video's content. Jinenkan however was addressed and yes - completely erroneously. It's a wonder even how this mixup could come about, even via AI. Is the point of the video to inform? Or to make the theoretical author feel better about needing some improvement of the presented info even though it's going to misinform people about a thing?

The interesting thing about 'Ninja' which I was gutted learning as I got older, was that the 'Ninja' that we think of today is a modern fabrication popularized by the West and Japan just rolled with it. The word also not being recorded to have been used historically. Ninja were nothing more than samurai who were tasked with roles of espionage, sabotage, reconnaissance and political manipulation. They very rarely engaged in combat as that was not their purpose. They did not wear black attire as a rule as this would make them easily recognizable. They masqueraded as fishermen, builders, farmers, hence farming weapon such as nunchaku (used to beat rice), bo (used to carry water buckets), sai (garden tools used for planting seeds), kama (field scythes), shuriken (roof washers), etc. 'Ninjutsu' was not a method of self defense. Everything that set these techniques apart from Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu and similar disciplines of the time was merely the techniques used to hide, gather and relay information and navigation. They also employed the exact same styles of warfare, like Jujutsu, Aikijutsu, Iaido, Kenjutsu, Kyūdō, Bajutsu,etc. And there were even people specializing in what we think of today as 'Ninjutsu' who ere not trained in martial arts at all. Apart from that they used the exact same styles as most samurai. Hanzo also was not a 'Ninja' at all. He was a Samurai from a long standing and well established family. He was, however, tasked to lead the Samurai Clans of Iga, who excelled at espionage and sabotage, by Tokugawa Ieyasu. He was not their defacto leader. It was merely during their employment under the Tokugawa. He was not one of them and prior to that point merely had good relations with the Iga families. The Koga were also not what we now think of as 'Ninja'. They were lesser samurai families who merely often employed methods of espionage, sabotage and reconnaissance. Ninja, or what we understand today was not a seperate class from Samurai. They were cut from the same cloth but specialized in a certain branch of warfare, just like Ashigaru were different from Gokenin, or Hatamoto, etc.

I saw an excellent video on KZread from an American who is an expert in feudal Japan and lives over there. He shared much of the same historically accurate info you shared and more. He revealed Hanzo's nickname was "The Demon Samurai". He wasn't even called a Ninja. Also, the term Shinobi "stealer in" is the more historically accurate term for ninja.
@willw7035

You're right, however don't feel disheartened about it, as you said the more authentic aspect is far more interesting. The popular image of the ninja that exists today is almost an inevitability of story telling tropes, and it's probably what got us intrigued in the first place. It's the culmination of a complex role, in a complex context, that has been simplified and stereotyped for a general audience. It's a caricature. Unfortunately the perpetuated caricature has outgrown the more practical concepts. That caricature probably started in Japanese artwork and plays so that the audience could instantly recognise that characters role; much like a witch having a pointy hat and broom (which originated from women selling beer wanting to standout in a market). This is also compounded when the people in your community are highly agreeable, combined with the profiteers adage of "give the people what they want", and imaginative people inserting their ideas, like the magic from Japanese folklore. Imagine a conversation where a highly enthusiastic western tourist excitedly claims "I heard that ninjas could become invisible!", you want to be polite, keep the conversation going, and don't want to destroy their enthusiasm. It also sounds ninja like, and someone probably did say that to them. You'd probably agreed with them. The symbolism in folklore is metaphoric, profound, and enriching. Yet for some bizarre reason when stories are depicted on TV and film, the live action element seems to make it more real to us. However when you think about it, a lot of the filler and fluff you see in film just wouldn't make sense. Can you really imagine a professional solider or spy somersaulting across a battlefield? Security forces have always had, and still have, the same roles and responsibilities. There have always been professionals that have enforced their state's intent, and professionals tasked with understanding potential threats. The nouns used to name those groups have also changed trough time. What was scouting is now recognisance. The historic terms were based on their region, function, or where those people came from; for example Kusa (Grass), Rappa (Rioter), Suppa (Wonderer), Iga No Mono (Person from Iga) Koga No Mono (Person from Koga), and Shinobi No Mono (Concealed person). During the Sengoku (Warring states) period, these groups had responsibility for guerrilla warfare which could include scouting, raiding and sabotage. A few of their descendants that survived the Sengoku period into the Edo period would find employment in the Oniwaban as Onmitsu, and adapt their inherited skills in intelligence gathering, to surveillance, burglary, and networking. I think of the modern term "Ninja" like the modern term "Commando", that is as a contemporary term to describe the requirements, roles, and responsibilities of guerrilla warfare that have always persisted. The unfortunate reality has always been that not all soldiers are of equal value, most were responsible for fighting and holding their ground for as long as possible, including samurai, and that was their value. However if your responsibility is to gather military intelligence it is obvious that you need an understanding of military things, can survive long enough to return to your superiors with that information, and that you can communicate that information with credibility and authority. As has always been the case, a sensible commander is going to entrust that intelligence gathering responsibility to their most capable and reliable personnel, and in the context of the Sengoku period that would be samurai, either from your own skilled personnel, or recruited from trusted specialists groups. For the professional soldiers and/or law enforcement that these people would have been, and the seriousness, consideration, planing and risk that they'd have taken in their responsibilities there would have been nothing "just" or "merely" about their jobs. They would deliberately put themselves into high risk environments and, unlike their conventional colleagues, they would be expected to return safely. Another complexity is that people from Iga and Koga were known to establish intelligence networks to share and trade information amongst themselves and to cultivate sources from the community. So, although there might be a jizamurai from Iga or Koga investigating something, their informants from the community could also be described as and understood as shinobi. Anyway, I pretty much agree with you. There's no less skill between the reality of how people did "ninja" work historically and the impressive circus tricks that TV "ninja" display.

Now I'm almost certain that the script for this video essay was written by AI. Not only an occasional use of AI generative art that look bizarre, swords held backwards or mangled hands, stuck as fillers between stock photos of actual man-made art. The moment he gets to "Jinenkan Hatsumi" I realized that it was AI, down to the script, and I could tell from a mile because I used to study at Bujinkan and am still following and researching and practicing at home (in addition to other Koryu which I have an actual teacher for). Hatsumi Masaaki (Yoshiaki) is the headmaster of Bujinkan, his student Manaka Unsui broke-off from Bujinkan to create Jinenkan, it must have been all scrambled by an AI author who butchered the whole thing, piecing together bits of information in a cohesive yet incorrect way. It was Takamatsu's grandfather (referred to as Toda Shinryuken Masamitsu by Bujinkan and Bugei Ryuha Daijiten) who taught ninjutsu (Gyokko Ryu, Shinden Fudo Ryu, Togakure Ryu, Gyokushin Ryu, and Komugakure Ryu) to Takamatsu (Takamatsu also studies other martial arts from Mizuta Sensei (Takagi Yoshin Ryu) and Ishitani Sensei (Kukishin Ryu, Gikan Ryu, and another branch of Hontai/Takagi Yoshin Ryu)). And there is no lack of photos and videos the creator of this list could have used for the segment about Hatsumi, he's is very much alive and well and still training, there are thousands of photos and videos of him online, he authored many books and instructional videos; and there's no shortage of photos of his teacher Takamatsu Toshitsugu (Chosui) either, there are even some old videos of him. This makes me doubt rest of the information in this essay is not botched as well.

This commenter is right. Mishmashing the word Jinenkan into a hybrid confusion with Hatsumi reeks of an AI mixup. A researching human would not have garbled these things together. If you don't know, it's because you don't know. He set straight facts about the scenario. And Genbukan didn't need mentioning because it wasn't relevant in context to the video's content. Jinenkan however was addressed and yes - completely erroneously. It's a wonder even how this mixup could come about, even via AI. Is the point of the video to inform? Or to make the theoretical author feel better about needing some improvement of the presented info even though it's going to misinform people about a thing?
The interesting thing about 'Ninja' which I was gutted learning as I got older, was that the 'Ninja' that we think of today is a modern fabrication popularized by the West and Japan just rolled with it. The word also not being recorded to have been used historically. Ninja were nothing more than samurai who were tasked with roles of espionage, sabotage, reconnaissance and political manipulation. They very rarely engaged in combat as that was not their purpose. They did not wear black attire as a rule as this would make them easily recognizable. They masqueraded as fishermen, builders, farmers, hence farming weapon such as nunchaku (used to beat rice), bo (used to carry water buckets), sai (garden tools used for planting seeds), kama (field scythes), shuriken (roof washers), etc. 'Ninjutsu' was not a method of self defense. Everything that set these techniques apart from Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu and similar disciplines of the time was merely the techniques used to hide, gather and relay information and navigation. They also employed the exact same styles of warfare, like Jujutsu, Aikijutsu, Iaido, Kenjutsu, Kyūdō, Bajutsu,etc. And there were even people specializing in what we think of today as 'Ninjutsu' who ere not trained in martial arts at all. Apart from that they used the exact same styles as most samurai. Hanzo also was not a 'Ninja' at all. He was a Samurai from a long standing and well established family. He was, however, tasked to lead the Samurai Clans of Iga, who excelled at espionage and sabotage, by Tokugawa Ieyasu. He was not their defacto leader. It was merely during their employment under the Tokugawa. He was not one of them and prior to that point merely had good relations with the Iga families. The Koga were also not what we now think of as 'Ninja'. They were lesser samurai families who merely often employed methods of espionage, sabotage and reconnaissance. Ninja, or what we understand today was not a seperate class from Samurai. They were cut from the same cloth but specialized in a certain branch of warfare, just like Ashigaru were different from Gokenin, or Hatamoto, etc.

@willw7035
8 ай бұрын
You're right, however don't feel disheartened about it, as you said the more authentic aspect is far more interesting. The popular image of the ninja that exists today is almost an inevitability of story telling tropes, and it's probably what got us intrigued in the first place. It's the culmination of a complex role, in a complex context, that has been simplified and stereotyped for a general audience. It's a caricature. Unfortunately the perpetuated caricature has outgrown the more practical concepts. That caricature probably started in Japanese artwork and plays so that the audience could instantly recognise that characters role; much like a witch having a pointy hat and broom (which originated from women selling beer wanting to standout in a market). This is also compounded when the people in your community are highly agreeable, combined with the profiteers adage of "give the people what they want", and imaginative people inserting their ideas, like the magic from Japanese folklore. Imagine a conversation where a highly enthusiastic western tourist excitedly claims "I heard that ninjas could become invisible!", you want to be polite, keep the conversation going, and don't want to destroy their enthusiasm. It also sounds ninja like, and someone probably did say that to them. You'd probably agreed with them. The symbolism in folklore is metaphoric, profound, and enriching. Yet for some bizarre reason when stories are depicted on TV and film, the live action element seems to make it more real to us. However when you think about it, a lot of the filler and fluff you see in film just wouldn't make sense. Can you really imagine a professional solider or spy somersaulting across a battlefield? Security forces have always had, and still have, the same roles and responsibilities. There have always been professionals that have enforced their state's intent, and professionals tasked with understanding potential threats. The nouns used to name those groups have also changed trough time. What was scouting is now recognisance. The historic terms were based on their region, function, or where those people came from; for example Kusa (Grass), Rappa (Rioter), Suppa (Wonderer), Iga No Mono (Person from Iga) Koga No Mono (Person from Koga), and Shinobi No Mono (Concealed person). During the Sengoku (Warring states) period, these groups had responsibility for guerrilla warfare which could include scouting, raiding and sabotage. A few of their descendants that survived the Sengoku period into the Edo period would find employment in the Oniwaban as Onmitsu, and adapt their inherited skills in intelligence gathering, to surveillance, burglary, and networking. I think of the modern term "Ninja" like the modern term "Commando", that is as a contemporary term to describe the requirements, roles, and responsibilities of guerrilla warfare that have always persisted. The unfortunate reality has always been that not all soldiers are of equal value, most were responsible for fighting and holding their ground for as long as possible, including samurai, and that was their value. However if your responsibility is to gather military intelligence it is obvious that you need an understanding of military things, can survive long enough to return to your superiors with that information, and that you can communicate that information with credibility and authority. As has always been the case, a sensible commander is going to entrust that intelligence gathering responsibility to their most capable and reliable personnel, and in the context of the Sengoku period that would be samurai, either from your own skilled personnel, or recruited from trusted specialists groups. For the professional soldiers and/or law enforcement that these people would have been, and the seriousness, consideration, planing and risk that they'd have taken in their responsibilities there would have been nothing "just" or "merely" about their jobs. They would deliberately put themselves into high risk environments and, unlike their conventional colleagues, they would be expected to return safely. Another complexity is that people from Iga and Koga were known to establish intelligence networks to share and trade information amongst themselves and to cultivate sources from the community. So, although there might be a jizamurai from Iga or Koga investigating something, their informants from the community could also be described as and understood as shinobi. Anyway, I pretty much agree with you. There's no less skill between the reality of how people did "ninja" work historically and the impressive circus tricks that TV "ninja" display.

I could have sworn ninja started out as farmers oppressed by the samurai and the Shoguns they served that started to fight back

@@sean5558nope. They were Samurai who did scouting and spying. Most of what we think we know about ninjas and ninjutsu comes from manga in the 1910’s.
Naruto shouldve been on the list, ranked 1
“Capable of pulling off impossible feats” Like summoning a thousand armed wooden Gundam, or an ethereal kaiju samurai that can cut mountains in half.
The most famous ninjas in history were obviously some of the worst at their craft.
Weird That Hattori Hanzo is one of the Greatest Ninja's but also the gate of the Imperial Palace is Called Hanzo's Gate
There is no "chopping" with a katana, only slicing or stabbing
the last ninja dude was like why use shuriken...use rocks

Love this story more great ninja
I learned somewhere that ninjas were just samurai on stealth missions 🤔
I love stories about ninja thanks for this video thumbs up bro
To be a ninja , is too move in silence 😊
Always fancied myself a bit of a ninja as a boy , loved ninja movies
Alors hideyoshi n'a jamais été Shogun de pars son origine roturiere mais son titre était Taiko à savoir régent. Également la prononciation japonaise est à revoire. Le u se prononce ou. C'est assez déroutant et fait un peux sortir de la vidéo.
I love the ninja way of life but I always wonder, if they were such a secret then how are they known in the first place🤔 but then again they're only human.....someone eventually talked 👈
I played the heck out of Tenchu.
Crazy to think that Goemon was born to boil like ODEN THE CHAD OF WANO-Kuni🫡🔥🔥
Sho Kosugi was the greatest ninja that ever lived.
The greatest ninja is right behind you
Plot twist, they were decoys for the best ninjas in history.
Anyone else gonna point out that he said tokagawa ieasu was the first shogun
I was waiting for Naruto to be named dropped. 🤣
They forgot to mention that Fuma Kotaro was a title, each ninja master who took on the role of leadership in his clan adopted the name, ensuring anonymity, making it almost impossible to identify their shinobi to this day.

Thank you, what I meant to say was that his name was a title, not a surname.
Now we know where Naruto came from! 😂
Hanson also was 1 of the 1st to dual wield. Not Tantos either. Full Samurai swords
If Hanzo was not on the top it's gonna be crazy. What if Scorpio and Sub Zero really exist 🤣, you know we have the real Hanzo in history but without super powers, is there any that could be the suitable character for Sub Zero. 😂
Well ninjas should be stealth and low profile. Their job was like Mercenaries. All I know is Storm shadow a fictional character from gijoe who was very famous as a ninja.
Hanzo aka scorpion my favourite
i have seen goemon movie in war first he kills the opponent king and then attack at his own king but gets killed by his friend
Hatsumi Sensei is over the Bujinkan.
the narrator from Tenchu stealth assassins #1, I know that voice bro
So that explains some of the character's names in Naruto.....
It’s masaaki Hatsumi and it’s bujinkan
Thinking about Oden in that Boiler
For koga vs iga anime , watch Basilisk . Powered ninja clans at war !
Oroku Saki You forgot him 😂🤣😂
I want to be neenja, I want to be neenja

The American Ninja is the most famous ninja.
Only reason they're known is because they left a journal.
Heroes dang
Im pretty sure Fuma was multiple people over time. One Kotaro would die so they would make another man Kotaro to make him seem immortal.
The lady ninjas where the most dangerous!!
This is the 2nd thing Ive watched today mention Goemon, I guess the universe is trying to tell me something
Great ninja movies of the 80's: Ninja in the Dragon's Den (1982) and Shogun's Ninja (1980). Both happen to star Hiroyuki "Henry" Sanada. Check them out! I hope ninja movies make a comeback.
