Duh why do you think ninjas wear masks?

Wouldn't hiring oneself out as birthday party entertainment pretty much SHRED one's ninja creds?!?!

According to wikipedia Ninjas were "a covert agent or mercenary in feudal Japan who specialized in unorthodox warfare. The functions of the ninja included espionage, sabotage, infiltration, and assassination, and open combat in certain situations.[1] Their covert methods of waging war contrasted the ninja with the samurai, who observed strict rules about honor and combat.[2] The shinobi proper, a specially trained group of spies and mercenaries, appeared in the Sengoku or "warring states" period, in the 15th century,[3] but antecedents may have existed in the 14th century,[4] and possibly even in the 12th century (Heian or early Kamakura era)."

So it will probably be hard to find a 15th century Japanese assassin in the DC area, especially one who does birthday parties. Of course I am also trying to imagine how you would work espionage, sabotage, infiltration and assassination into a birthday party.

*snort* this thread....it's just....wow....

Hey, do me a favor, call this number-301-775-3920, his name is Johnny. He does an awesome Batman, and Spiderman, and a few other characters-he might do a ninja, not sure, but if not, he might be able to steer you the right way. Your friend, The Great Zucchini

Still looking. Maybe the Great Zucchini can help me find a good ninja?

As the mother of two boys, I just wanted to say, my kids would LOVE this. I'm not sure if the other DCUMs would approve. Good luck on your search.

OP, have you tried calling the Japanese embassy?

Sorry, no recs. PPs, not helpful and mean!

I am not sure about a ninja but if you have trouble finding one, let me know if you want the number for the unicorn rental place I used for DC's first birthday. (Pricey, but it did poop out the party favors, so I would still recommend.)

lmao

Thanks. But, I'm looking to hire a ninja that will come to our house and do ninja stuff. If he or she could hide until all the kids arrive and then appear out of nowhere, even better.

Any ninjas for hire out there?
