Ninjas are one of the most universally cool types of characters. The mysterious nature combined with the deadly offensive attacks they can unleash from the shadows. This is why coming up with a cool name for a Ninja is critical, but also quite difficult. This is why I have created a random ninja name generator to give you all of the ideas you need to come up with something great.
I suppose I should apologize to anyone who is Japanese for my butchering of Japanese grammar. I used a lot of cool word combinations and translated them to Japanese. Picked the ones that sounded awesome. Most of the first names used for males and females are actual Japanese names. The surnames are either names of items or combination of items. Fire hound translating Faiāhaundo. Makes for a pretty cool ninja name right?
Finding some ancient Japanese names to use was difficult since it seems like old names are still quite common. If you have some cool first names you want to use, switch them for whatever name is suggested using the tool below and you will have something great to work with.
