An American girl who studies Japanese said in Japanese, “My boyfriend is a Ninja.”
I thought her Japanese was wrong.
I asked, “Do you mean that he likes Ninja, right?”
She said, “I'm serious, ok, check the YouTube video.”
Her boyfriend wore Ninja outfit and battled an enemy in the video.
I know Ninja is popular in a lot of countries but this video made me laugh.
By the way, Japan's national team of water polo was named “Poseidon Japan”
As you know, Poseidon is the god of the sea in Greek myths.
Why didn't they name Ninja is well known in the world?
Ninja has a special skill in water called “Suiton no jutu”

日本語を勉強するアメリカ人の女の子が「私の彼は忍者です」と日本語で言った。
私は彼女の日本語は間違っていると思った。
「彼は忍者が好きです」って言いたかったんでしょ?
彼女は「ほんとです、このビデオをみてください。」
そこには彼女の彼氏が忍者のかっこをして、敵と戦っているやんけ。
忍者はたくさんの国で人気があるのは知ってたけど、笑っちゃう。
ところで日本の水球チームは「ポセイドン・ジャパン」と名付けられた。
ご存知のとおり、ポセイドンはギリシャ神話の海の神である。
なんで世界的に有名な忍者って名前をつけなかったのよ。
忍者は水の中のすいとんの術っていう忍法があるのにさ。

Nice to meet you SAN,

They battled in a field.
I didn't watch the whole video, I saw the Ninja scene only so I didn't know the plot.
Thank you for your comment.

It seems prevalent American stereotypes about Japanese Ninja, doesn't it?
I wanted to know how your friend's boyfriend performed Ninja via You Tube.

We talked through Skype then so I try to look for the video soon.
If I find out it, I will send it to you.
Thank you for your comment.

Because Naruto is such a hit outside Japan! ^_^
I'll like to use 影分身の術to help me study Japanese...lol

Good idea!
影分身の術 is very helpful for everything.
Ninjas appear in movies, comics and video games a lot.
Thank you for your comment.

I thought the main thing about ninjas is that they are covert. If her boyfriend puts his ninja video on youtube then he is NOT convert and therefore not a ninja, right :)

Ninjas are secret agents so they shouldn't appear on Youtube.
There are some Ninja theme parks in Japan, 手裏剣 is popular suvenior.
Thank you for your corrections.

If I play 忍者ごっこ, I want to be a sexy くのいち。

When I saw Ninja Turtles on TV for the first time, I felt funny.
Thank you for your corrections.
