Besides the name "ninja," they have also been called or are known as "Shinobi" (忍び), "Rappa" (乱破), "Suppa" (素破), "Sou" (草), "Dackou" (奪口), and "Kamari" (かまり).

It is said that there were also female ninja called "kunoichi." The Birthplace of Ninja and Their Styles Source :YouTube screenshot As introduced in the video, there are two schools of Japanese ninja- the Iga style and the Koka style. The Koka school of ninja were active in the region of Koka in the province of Omi (present-day Shiga Prefecture). The Iga school of ninja were active in the Iga province (today's Mie Prefecture). There is a slight difference in the use of techniques between the Koka and Iga schools. The physical prowess of the ninja was quite high, and the Iga school of ninja is said to have organized groups of a hundred men and used a variety of techniques to fight in the dark during conflicts such as the Tensho Iga War and the Tensho Iga Rebellion that occurred during the Warring States period (c. 1467-1615). It is said that they took a leap forward. It is said that even today, in 2020, there are survivors of the ninja in Japan.
