That's a job for historical worldbooks (which are entirely fine for e23, if somebody wants to write them), not for DF. DF is specifically meant to be generic. And as I said in my longer reply, ninja are generic. They're no more "Japanese" than druids are "Celtic" in 2010-era fantasy gaming. I mean, all ideas have to come from somewhere . . . even the fantasy holy warrior or paladin started life as a Crusader or one of the Crusader's Muslim rivals, or maybe Galahad. But the serial numbers came off a long time ago.
