I apologize for going a bit off topic but speaking of Ninja Scroll, whatever happened to Kawajiri? He directed a lot of really cool movies in the 80s and 90s, but his last film was... Highlander maybe? Or that Batman segment, I can't remember which came first.

I'd love to watch a new movie directed by this man. His fight scenes are always incredible. And that shot of a gun being pulled from its holster in Wicked City... You know which one.

Guy is in his sixties. He mainly does storyboarding now. He worked on One Punch Man.

Real ninja: no idea

Fictionalised/stylised ninja: i think the novel (and series) Across the Nightingale Floor is one of the best. Seriously cool magical realism ninja stuff.

Imagine harry Potter but with sex and violence and about ninja instead of wizards

(repost for new page cos i think it's a good answer)

Shinobi PS2

This.

Also Metal Gear Rising. Its visual style may not be traditional (other than the awesome Japanese setting later on) but it features some of the coolest ninjalike action in video games apart from Shinobi III, Ninja Gaiden Black and NG2, and Shinobi (PS2) which Einchy mentioned above.

Nioh has some cool ninja NPCs (Hanzo and Okatsu), gear, ninjutsu abilities, and ninja-themed levels.

Ninja/Iga gear

Yes, the same way a spy or assassin wouldn't have a defined look because they are meant to blend in.

But that's no fun.

If Naruto stuck with the Land of Waves style for its entire run this might have been a thing.
