I will use my ninja skills to hide colored eggs, rather than to defeat my enemies.... *does exaggerated ninja kick* Hi YAH! *giggles and slips out quickly*
Why did Japanese ninjas like to wear black costumes and masks?
The ninja, or shinobi as they are called in Japan, were a group of warriors that existed in Japan during the 14th and 15th centuries. While the samurai warrior class was known for their strict honor and martial codes as well as their conventional Japanese fighting tactics, the shinobi were trained as spies, saboteurs, terrorists, and assassins.Much of what comes to mind when one thinks of ninja is more based on legend and folklore than on reality. The black outfit that is associated with the shinobi comes most likely from the practice in Japanese theater to use a black costumed actor or stagehand to indicate an invisible person.It is more likely that a ninja would disguise himself as a priest, merchant, monk, peasant, or any other normal person. With weapons disguised as or hidden in everyday objects, they would infiltrate an enemy's territory and complete their task.While the ninja were occasionally celebrated for their bravery, they were generally looked down upon in Japan for their unconventional ways.
Why do you wear black?
Why do I wear black?I am a video and stage technician. Everyday I put on a pair of black pants and a black t-shirt. Here are the reasons :It’s stealthy. You indeed have to be discreet when you’re a technician.It’s classy and look professional. Clean black clothes are always low-key classy. It’s laid-back, but it states you know what you are doing.You don’t have to worry about what you gonna wear every morning. The company you work for generally provide you with t-shirts, and at least one type of vest of hoodie. You don’t even pay for that, and the quality is nice. The work pants I have, I can wear in every occasion. They look like dress pants besides the pockets on the side.Stain or dirt doesn’t show. Being a technician means you’re doing dirty work and then have to go close the deal or welcome in a client who paid a lot of money for the services that you and the company provide them. You can’t afford to look like a messy worker. Of course you have to show up with clean clothes, but even if you’re a little dirty it doesn’t show.Lastly, the secret-ninja trick : Cleaning your clothes is ridiculously easy. Even in the middle of nowhere-land in nowhere-town with one washing-machine at 10 km around your location, washing only with cold water, you do your entire wardrobe in one shot if you want. Isn’t that cool? Especially cool when you’re on tour!
Why don't special forces wear black camouflage during night missions?
I would like to point out one thing.Black is not a camouflage.Whenever a military or paramilitary or police unit uses black color - it is not for camouflage.Black is for psychological shock.If I ever see people dressed like this:I will instinctively think to myself "HOLY SHIT".Because, seeing them means I'm dead. Most likely there's another bunch of them coming in from behind me and some might be above me.And I will know they're special forces. That means that I have one shot with my assault rifle (assuming I'm on duty defending an installation or so) and if I aim well and fast I can drop one of them. The next 3 guys will each tap me a few times before I can aim at second one.And that's all assuming they forgot to use flashbangs or grenades or satchel charges.But the point is, you see people in all black overalls, you know it's bad - for you. If it weren't a wartime situation and I wasn't defending some installation against foreign forces it would make a ton of sense to just drop the weapon - and possibly survive.Simply put, the people who wear black are usually highly skilled and they're coming in hard. There's a high chance that by the time you'll see the first sign of them you'll already be disarmed and/or disabled. Loud bang, you're on the floor with a bullet hole in your shoulder and someone's got a jackboot on your throat and is aiming an SMG at your head.People who use camouflage are trying to avoid detection. They are not trying to scare you.In a way those black suits try to say that if you catch a glimpse of them and want to live - you better drop your weapon and lie down face to the floor. Camouflage is usually worn in combat where the opposing force actually has a decent chance of fighting back and repelling the attack.Because when you're fighting regular military unit that is defending their homeland you don't try to spook them. It doesn't work. You try to remain unseen. Guys in black want prisoners, guys in camouflage don't really care and might actually be unable to take prisoners if they're behind enemy lines and all. 12 special force operatives behind enemy lines committing infiltration and sabotage can't really drag captured enemy guards with them while hoping that the prisoners won't start screaming or give them away or be seen due to inferior camouflage etc.
Ok, stuck with the Unicorn Ninja but how to do it (HALLOWEEN)?
One thing you'll need is a furry bodysuit. This can be sort of hard to find, but since Elmo's very popular right now, you can always buy that costume and simply cut off the eyes and nose. I'm not sure if you are a girl or not. But if you are, you could always just wear a big furry coat instead. Then, for the horn, I'd get one of those cone-shaped party hats and paint it with glitter. Cat tails are always easy to find at halloween stores, so you could get the furriest one there (as long as it matches your costume and doesn't have a wierd print on it) and maybe add some glitter from what was left over from your horn. To finish off the unicorn part of the look, I'd get a horse face mask at your local halloween store. To add ninja to your costume, I'd first get a black mask. If you can't find one, you could always get some thick black ribbon and cut two eye holes. I'd also use some more of that black ribbon and tie it around your waist. To finish off the look, get some black ballet flats to wear as shoes. It's a great costume idea, but sort of hard to achieve, so I hope I helped a little!;)
Why does Naruto wear orange?
The entire concept of a ninja is thrown out the window for Naruto. Not only does he wear orange, but Saruka wear bright pink, and a lot of characters wear a decent amount of white or light gray. They live in the Hidden Leaf Village, which is so well hidden that, as the capital of it's nation, every other ninja knows right where to find it: Directly under the giant Ninja Mount Rushmore. And the main attack of Naruto's rival (and his sensei for that matter)? An electricity blade that is called the ultimate assassination attack, despite getting its name Chidori because it sounds like a flock of 1,000 birds flying. Yeah, you can really sneak around when you sound like that!
Is it illegal to wear a ninja costume in public?

We are all 14 so i don't know if that has anything to do with it please reply ASAP cheers
Why do some people only wear black (e.g. Yoko Ono or Amelie Nothomb)? What does it mean or say about them?
I've been wearing black non-stop for the past 30 years. I started as a Goth, but this is not a reason in itself; why does one want to be a Goth anyway? I moved away from Gothic paraphernalia because I do have a sense of ridicule and I am getting old, but I still wear black all the time. In Summer I may make concessions and wear one - just one - item in tan, grey or army green. Why I wear black: definitely not for the slimming-effect myth, which is just a myth. I've been all sizes in life, and being thin or fat in black is exactly the same as being thin or fat in colours. What I do know is that it feels like second nature. I do own a couple of non-black outfits for important occasions (like meeting a new client who may have conservative outlooks; I'm self-employed, image matters), but when I wear them I feel like you would feel if you were forced to walk around in a Teletubbies costume, NOT on Halloween: just wrong. Oh, by the way, the "no need to match clothes" is also a myth; all-black wearers are terribly fastidious about the different hues of black and about what fabric matches with the others, so yes, sometimes we can spend the same time as you do figuring out an outfit that matches.I am also not depressed, not sad, not negative, I'm actually a rather upbeat person and I love life, so I'm not wearing black to express any conscious pain. (It may be subconscious, but I always thought it wasn't worth bothering a shrink about it).I know several people who are exactly like that. And yes, you rarely find people who spend a lifetime dressing only in white, or only in turquoise. There is something about black that feels protective and familiar, so much that you're happily willing to put up with all the Morticia jokes and the "Oh but you have such a pretty face, you should try wearing pink/florals/pastels, they'd brighten you up!".
Are ninjas from China?
I don’t know much about it in the China’s history, but as I know ninjas are actually spies during the Sengoku Period of Japan.And ninjas actually divided into upper, middle and bottom three classes, the upper class also called Strategic Ninja, are the leader side of ninjas.Middle class is the head of a small group of ninjas in a real battle. The bottom class is also called the Body Ninja, directly fight against the enemies.Ninjas appeared in 1185 to 1867 Japan. There is no clear clue that it’s from China, it seems it’s origin is right in Japan.
