Some of the coolest characters in video games are the ninja characters. They are known to be stealthy, quick on their feet, and mysterious. So who are some of the coolest ninjas in the world of video games? Check out five of the coolest ninjas out there.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Leonardo, Donatello, Rafael and Michelangelo! They are mutant turtle ninjas…and there are four of them! Plus their master is a rat named Splinter! What’s not cool about that?!

Rikimaru (Tenchu)
From climbing in the rafters of the house, throwing needles, hanging upside on ceilings, and just doing stealthy assassinations, Rikimaru is definitely one of the coolest ninjas that I have ever played as.

Yoshimitsu (Tekken)
Yoshimitsu…the creepy leader of the Manji clan with a skull face. Although he is incredibly creepy looking, he is a dangerous opponent with crazy moves!

Hotsuma (Shinobi)
The last remaining ninja of the Oboro Clan he is the wielder of Akujiki, a sword that takes the souls of those that it slays. The fact that he’s able to wield Akujiki makes him incredibly sweet in my book! That and he wears the sweet red scarf that makes it difficult to follow him.

Scorpion (Mortal Kombat)
The dead warrior whose purpose of entering Mortal Kombat to kill Sub-Zero, who killed him. This masked ninja has a number of sick moves that will send your opponent straight to the Netherrealm or burnt to a crisp.

Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden)
The leader of the Hayabusa clan who has spiritual, physical, and magical ties to ancient dragons and the holder of the legendary Dragon Sword. He is known by some as “The Ninja Dragon” or “The Super Ninja.”
