'''Shinobi''' is an umbrella term for the central character in a series of video games developed by [[Sega]] commonly referred to as the Shinobi series. The name Shinobi is used as a code-name throughout the series to hide the true identity of its bearer. It has been adopted by various characters, most prominently Joe Musashi, the protagonist of the original series of games ([[Shinobi]] - [[Shinobi III]]).
 
Along with Alex Kidd and Sonic the Hedgehog, the Shinobi ninja has long been one of Sega's flagship characters, acting as a mascot for a short time in the late 1980's when the ninja boom was in full force. Its games are a showcase of Sega's technical accomplishment. Today the games are still noted for their high quality of graphics, gameplay and music, as well as their high level of difficulty.
 
Shinobi debuted in [[1987]], in the arcade title Shinobi, and has since featured in eleven other official Shinobi titles and one spin-off game. [[Nightshade]] ("Kunoichi" in Japan) is currently the last game in line.
