History

Ninningers Timeline

Ninningers are the descendants of the Igasaki Clan, the five main members ninja who were involved in Japan's Sengoku Era where they dispatched Gengetsu Kibaoni, and are also the grandchildren of Yoshitaka Igasaki, who has been preparing for Kibaoni's predestined return. As users of their clan's Shuriken Ninja Arts fighting style, the Ninningers' arsenal revolves around the use of their Nin Shuriken. The Ninningers can restore the purified Sealing Shuriken to the Nin Shuriken by sharpening their Nintality enough. They each transform by inserting a Transformation Nin Shuriken into their ninjatō-like Ninja Ichibantou sidearm weapons, which also can be used to perform special attacks including their signature Nin Fury Slash attack, elemental jutsu with a Five-Style Nin Shuriken.

Igasaki Clan:

Igasaki Clan

Igasaki Clan is a family kin group consisting of ninjas since the Sengoku period. They developed and harbored the Ninninger's powers. Back in 1571, an evil feudal warlord named Gengetsu Kibaoni tried to unite Japan under fear. The ninjas of the Igasaki Clan fought him and emerged victorious but before his death, Kibaoni vowed to return in 444 years to resume his campaign. As a result, Kibaoni sacrificed his humanity to be revived as an oni centuries later before he was sealed away by Yoshitaka Igasaki using 48 Sealing Shuriken.

Doshun Igasaki : Was a ninja who lived in the Warring States period who, being of the Igasaki Clan, particpated in the defeat of the evil feudal warlord Gengetsu Kibaoni, who intended to unite Japan under fear, in 1571. He is an ancestor of the Last Ninja Yoshitaka Igasaki.
Former Last Ninja : The father of Yoshitaka Igasaki and thus the great-grandfather of the five Ninningers. As per the tradition of the Igasaki ninja, he was eventually defeated and allowed himself to be slain by the young Yoshitaka Igasaki.
Yoshitaka Igasaki : Was descended from the Igasaki Clan ninja who originally defeated Gengetsu Kibaoni in 1571. As an Igasaki, Yoshitaka trained to become a ninja and, when the time came, he defeated his father, the Former Last Ninja, in battle.
Tsumuji Igasaki : Is Takaharu and Fuka's father and Yoshitaka's oldest son. He trained since childhood in order to succeed his father until one day his ability to use ninjutsu was stolen by Kyuemon, and thus uses all his knowledge to train the Ninningers instead.

Igasaki Ninjutsu Dojo:

Igasaki Ninjutsu Dojo is the base of the Ninningers, built by Yoshitaka Igasaki for their use after the old one was destroyed by the Hitokarage upon the return of the Kibaoni Army Corps. Shinobi 1: We're Ninja! It is equipped with countless secret panels and trapdoors as well as being able to change its design after tapping on one of the floorboards. As well as the Ninningers' base which they use to train, it is also the family home of Yoshitaka's son Tsumuji Igasaki and his two children Takaharu Igasaki/AkaNinger and Fuuka Igasaki/ShiroNinger, with the other Ninningers often staying there as well.

Ninningers:

Takaharu Igasaki / AkaNinger : Is the leader of the Ninningers who is an impulsive optimist who acts like a big brother to his team mates. Out of the group, Takaharu is most adamant of being a ninja and wishes to become the kind of ninja his grandfather is. He becomes the red-colored AkaNinger.
Yakumo Kato / AoNinger : Is a cold demeanor despite his quick temper. Yakumo was originally in England to learn magic until he was called back to Japan. Though a realist who doesn't really see a need to carry out his grandfather's legacy, he decides to prove himself better skilled at the Shuriken Ninja Arts. He becomes the blue-colored AoNinger, whose signature attack is the Ninja Dragon Slash.
Nagi Matsuo / KiNinger : Is very friendly, yet surprisingly observant with both a prankster streak and a desire to master various things.

After the final battle against Gengetsu Kibaoni, Nagi studies to get into university.
Fuka Igasaki / ShiroNinger : Is Takaharu's sister who is very reliable but a bit clumsy, initially believing her clan's history with Kibaoni to be a fairy tale. Just like Nagi, she is a high schooler and becomes the white-colored ShiroNinger. After the final battle against Gengetsu Kibaoni, Fuka sets her sights on becoming an idol and uses her ninjutsu as one of her talents.
Kasumi Momochi / MomoNinger : Is a university student who aims to be a scientist and normally very reserved despite being unable to take a hint or having a sharp-tongue at times. She becomes the pink-colored MomoNinger. After the final battle against Gengetsu Kibaoni, Kasumi decides to continue research the secrets behind the Ninningers' arsenal through her scientific studies.
Kinji Takigawa / StarNinger : Is a Yokai Hunter from the United States, having learning the basics from his father Junji as a child before being orphaned when his older brother Reiji and their father were killed by the Western Yokai Okami-otoko.
