    Fun facts (which are just things I read on the internet once and may not actually be facts at all):

    A lot of what we perceive as “ninja” appearances are misconceptions. Ninjas didn’t wear all-black outfits; that’s actually a trope that came from old Japanese theater performances. Stagehands would wear all-black outfits so they would blend in with the background as they were moving props and set pieces around, and audiences would generally ignore them as they knew that they weren’t part of the “act”. In one performance, a “stagehand” attacks an actor, and it’s meant to catch the audience off-guard as the stagehand is meant to be “invisible”, but that’s actually the ninja’s stealthy disguise making them invisible to the audience.

    Actual ninjas were typically dressed in normal streetwear, as blending into crowds was generally more important than blending into the foliage.

      And I believe if they were on a nightly stealth mission they would wear dark blue and not black.

        Yeah, black weirdly tends to be easier to see in the dark than some other colors. It often ends up looking darker than the surrounding darkness. Slightly lighter colors like brown and gray don’t contrast with the background as much and are much harder to pick out in the dark. People who have owned a black dog and a brown dog at the same time will have probably noticed that effect. At least that’s where I noticed it.

    As soon as someone knows you’re a ninja, you’re not a ninja.

            This is why pirates win in the end, the ninja exploitation of their youth will backfire.
