Looking for a Ninja Clan

[00Troy00]

I'm looking at making a Katana Scrapper or Ninja Blade Stalker, and would like to run with the same -ish archetypes. Is there such a group around?

[ArchVileTerror]

Would you like it to be Hero, Villain, Vigilante, Rogue, Praetorian, mixed alignment, something else?

Doesn't really matter to me.

You don't find Ninja Clans, ninja clans find you.

(Sorry I don't have anything to add I just wanted to make an unfunny joke.)

Well, if the clan would find me’ that would be great.

[Gerald_Deemer]

Well, there have to be Ninja-Clans because some ninja names are still active. Like Hayabusa, Haitaka, Taka, Karasu, Kasasagi, Konotori...

I tried so much names...😭

Do a shout out for ninja team when you are on. There are ninjas around ...

... not that someone like me would make more than 6 or 10 of them .... on various servers ... just say ... they are out there but might not be on the time that you play.

I think I have at least one on Everlasting but I don't have a Ninja Clan/Supergroup on that server.

I'll throw one out there for you. Have you tried "Son of Chiba"?

Thank you for that suggestion. I came to the conclusion that my female ninja should have another name 😆

Lmao "Konotori" being a ninja name.

 

Is essentially like "That's It" being a cowboy name. 🤣 

 

These are all just random Japanese words. Keep trying and eventually you'll find a random Japanese word that's not taken.

 

Here's a few to try. No idea if they're taken bit since we're doing random Japanese words:

Tanker  = Sensha (literally tank)

Brute = Zannin (brutality/cruelty)

Scrapper = Kentōka (a fist fighter)

Stalker = you're out of luck, there's no pure Japanese word for this. They use "Stalker" as well. Sekkō is a military scout, but the word is not in common usage. Ironically the most appropriate term for what we think of as a stalker is a ninja/shinobi/kunoichi.

I avoid the dodgy Japanese translation problem by using descriptors in the Kung-Fu movie or G.I. Joe tradition:  Snake-Eyes, Steel Fang, Storm Shadow, Striking Death, etc.  Or some other, even more comic-booky gimmick.

 

P.S. But, Ninja Clan SG is a cool idea.  I approve. 😎👍

Konotori can also mean This Bird.

I think OP meant "Stork" which really should be written Kounotori or if you are using a macron Kōnotori. I think this because every example they gave were types of birds; I don't know why they equate this to being a "ninja" name.

 

The usage case for Konotori (again, with macron Konotōri) that I'm most familiar with means "As it is written" or "As it is," and is a very, very common thing to hear in Japanese meetings because everyone has sorted out any discrepancies before the actual discussions happen. If you were to write it the way OP wrote it, you'd be the most correct of all of us because "this bird" = kono tori = この鳥 has no long vowels.

This kind of confusion happens a lot because people don't use the standard Romanization for Japanese when writing, often omitting long vowels without knowing better.

Meanwhile there could be an anime with a stork themed ninja named Konotori and the Japanese audience probably wouldn't even blink. 

 

I once wrote a song called Jangyaru. It was my most popular song on Nico Nico Douga but YouTube didn't even notice. I got some interesting comments about the word Jangyaru but none were negative. 

[Gerald_Deemer]

Well, the most famous name for a ninja is Hayabusa what means Peregrine Falcon.

I don´t know why someone used all the "birds" for ninja names.

As I said Ko no Tori or Kounotori or Konotori (what means Stork) was already taken like many other "bird" names. But I think the main reason why ninjas are named after birds is the popularity of Hayabusa.

[PeregrineFalcon]

Wait, so now I'm a Ninja?

 

I feel like I'm hearing the song and just realized that I'm one of the Final Five.
