How the Ninja Name Generator works
A ninja name generator for anime-style ninja and historical shinobi. Pick a style and generate a clan and given name, a rank, a feared title or a ninja way, the personal code every anime ninja lives by. Every clan name and title is original.
How the ninja name generator works
Clan and name puts the clan first, Kurokage Ayame or Ikazuchi Hayate, because an anime ninja's clan decides their abilities and their enemies. Rank and name adds a school-to-elite rank from academy student up to village leader. Titles are the nicknames other villages give their most feared ninja. A ninja way is the promise a ninja lives by. Historical shinobi gives names in the style of the real ninja of Iga and Koga. Name the clan's home with the ninja village name generator, and its techniques with the jutsu name generator.

FAQ
What makes a good anime ninja name?
A clan name with an animal, element or shadow in it, plus a short given name. Kurokage means black shadow, and Ikazuchi means thunder, so the clan name hints at the family's fighting style.
Were real ninja real?
Yes. Shinobi were real spies and irregular soldiers in feudal Japan, most famously from the Iga and Koga regions. Their real work was mostly spying and sabotage, not the magic of anime ninja.
What is a ninja way?
In ninja anime, a ninja way is a personal code a character swears to follow, like never going back on a promise. It gives the character a clear belief that gets tested in every arc.
Can I use these in fan fiction and roleplay?
Yes. The names, clans and titles are original and free to use for fan fiction, OCs, roleplay, games and stories. They are designed to fit ninja anime without copying canon characters.
