Good idea, Japanese movies for Ninja movies.
How embarrassing to be Japanese, to be raised ninja and be the only person in the whole world to not know what a ninja does for a killing.

My answer is kinda spoiler so you could skip it if you want to...

Well.. killing enemies is one thing...
They are prepared for that.
But what about killing a whole village full of innocent villagers?
The reason?
Nothing.
Just to prove loyalty to your clan / Master.
That's all.

How about this one?

Azumi 2003 || English Sub - Bstation (bilibili.tv)

Might have to use VPN though if it's region locked.

The quality is a bit poor, but I found another site that hosts it and has it in 720p

Oh! It even has the other movie!

Ooh. Kissasian is back. Nice.
I thought the site's already gone with kissmanga and kissanime.

There's loads of copy-cat sites of the "Kiss" sites. I dunno how many Kiss site types are in total.
The ones I know are:
  • KimCartoon (Either a clone of KissCartoon or it's successor.)
  • KissAnime (The one O used to use is closed down so I moved onto 9Anime)
  • KissTVShow (which only does Asian television.)
  • KissAsian (Movies)
  • KissHen- actually you can guess that one. That's for after hours.
  • ReadComicOnline which is set up like a Kiss site.
I've heard of "KissManga" but given the sites I found are a different format to ReadComicOnline I don't think they're the same host.
Because of that know the sites I listed out may not be from the same hosts. And while they appear safe to me, browse them and other supposed Kiss sites with caution.

Now, it may say you should disable your ad-blocker, at least on KimCartoon, but I'd say keep it on or you'll be deleting 3-5 ads just to pause the videos.

It would be nice if there were more Kiss-variety of sites, especially ones not banned in my country.

Turned out most of them also banned in my country too
(or my internet provider, sometimes it's hard to tell the difference).
Well... At least KissAsian and ReadComicOnline are still safe...

Do you know of any other KissType sites out there? Be nice if there was one for movies or international TV shows.

I only know one, Adikfilm, but they use Indonesian subtitles.

Anime about ninja that I recommend is "Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls".
The story's kinda dark though, unlike Naruto.
It is an adaptation of Futaro Yamada's novel "The Kouga Ninja Scrolls".







That "Shinobi: Heart Under Blade" movie was also adapted from that novel,
although the characters are highly altered due to its limited running time (97 minutes).

So in Sonic & All-Star Racing Transformed, Joe Musashi has a stage theme for Seasonal Shrines and All-Star Move.

The seasonal Shrine theme is called "Idaten ~ Japonesque"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGN10_BJDSM
This theme is actually based on a soundtrack from Shinobi III
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVmaou-eQfY


His All-Star Move theme is actually "Patience" from 2002 Shinobi.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfLG8Kv_b2w

I find these choice of soundtrack for Joe kind of pecuilar, especially the 2002 game which was a reboot that he just cameod in.

I'm curious what you would choose as Joe Musashi's definite theme and why?

My choice would be Shinobi - BGM 1 given most may find it familiar with the series.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha70rE-xs3w

That and the first Shinobi game never had an opening theme.

I forgot it doesn't have opening in arcade, SMS, and Switch.
DOS version (the one I played most back then) has an opening theme so I always assume other has one too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ukVsoN0iSY

If I had to choose as Joe Musashi's definite theme, I'll choose Shinobi - BGM 1 too.
It's the most memorable for me.
But I understand why Racing Transformed didn't use this.
Shinobi - BGM 1 feels like a stealth mission song while Idaten feels like a "run and finish it fast" mission song.

They could of always used another sound track from the game more fitting for an All-Star Move.

For example:
