I know the word Shinobi means Ninja but I'm curious if there is any difference between the two terms?
[Ninja is an on'yomi (Early Middle Chinese-influenced) reading of the two kanji "忍者". In the native kun'yomi kanji reading, it is pronounced shinobi, a shortened form of the transcription shinobi-no-mono (忍の者. These two systems of pronouncing kanji create words (ninja/ninsha or shinobi-no-mono) with similar meanings.[9]
The word shinobi appears in the written record as far back as the late 8th century in poems in the Man'yōshū.[10][11] The underlying connotation of shinobi (忍) means "to steal away" and by extension "to forbear", hence its association with stealth and invisibility. Mono (者) means "a person". It also relates to the term shinobu, which means to hide.
Historically, the word ninja was not in common use, and a variety of regional colloquialisms evolved to describe what would later be dubbed ninja. Along with shinobi, some examples include monomi ("one who sees"), nokizaru ("macaque on the roof"), rappa ("ruffian"), kusa ("grass") and Iga-mono ("one from Iga").[7] In historical documents, shinobi is almost always used.
A Shinobi-A Mono is a Shinobi trained warrior. In the feudal area.
He is trained to endure and be of the stealthiest movements.
When One of this soldiers is sent to assasinate he is "the one nominated to kill a target" which means "ninja".
It is the name of a soldier nominated for an assassination mission within the Shinobi A- mono
Pretty sure shinobi is used to refer to a male ninja.
While there is a term that is often used to apply to female ninja (kunoichi),
None of these are the correct definition. To be shinobi is something you can not find on the internet . it exist only in your soul. It makes me extremely proud and disgusted at the same time to see people that can't possibly understand the definition to comment on the subject. Its a literal hypocrisy seeing as no shinobi would ever admit or aknowledge this fact. This shows that people have zero comprehension or the term. Hence " to conceal oneself" . people are not very bright!!!I know the word Shinobi means Ninja but I'm curious if there is any difference between the two terms?
Wait a minute ... I thought a Ninja was a motorcycle? If it isn't, then I need to rethink my friend's stories about what fun it was riding a ninja!Ninja - The Japanese guys in black masks who throw a small metal ball on the ground and disappear in the ensuing smoke.
Sounds pretty suspect to me. If they rode a katana, I’d have interesting questions too.Wait a minute ... I thought a Ninja was a motorcycle? If it isn't, then I need to rethink my friend's stories about what fun it was riding a ninja!
