    I think it was a natural extension of the kung-fu boom of the 1970s started by Bruce Lee and sustained by Jackie Chan. By the '80s Japan was a global media giant especially in the realm of cartoons. American nerds even back then loved Japanese things and there was a whole slew of furry-theme Japanese comics on the market, the two most famous being Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Usagi Yojimbo. The Ninja Turtle cartoon in '87 was a phenomenonal hit. It's hard to explain how big the Ninja Turtles were back then. By '93 you had live action Japanese shows on television like Power Rangers. By '95 the Power Rangers were ninjas. Going back to my original point, samurai and ninjas were just the natural media response to the popularity of kung-fu and karate. After big hits like the Karate Kid, naturally some exec wanted something similar but different enough. Thus ninjas. Most importantly they were radical.

    Super easy to hire extras and swap stuntmen when everyone's covered head to toe in black outfits. This proliferated into there being 1000 ninja suits that were insanely cheap to rent/use.

    Ernie is a good guy. Years ago I went to one of this cons here in Louisville and I was telling my friend that I didn't really want to meet any of them, as I liked having memories of them like that. If I met them and they're complete buttholes it would be a bummer. He tells me it'll be cool so I go and we see Brutus the Beefcake Barber and i try to just say what's up. I'm about to tell him I saw him on Sat mornings and he just stops the conversation and motions towards a bunch of photographers for like $20 a pop. I just walked off. I'm in the middle of telling Tim "I told you, man, I don't want to meet Ernie or Judith Hoag if this is how it's gonna be" and I feel a hand on my shoulder. Turn around and it's Ernie. He's smiling and I'm like "YOOOO" and we just chat for about 20min. He tells me he has to go cause he's needed since there's a line starting to gather. Cool motherfricker. Met Judith(April O'Neil)that day too and she was STILL hot as frick. Smelled like heaven.

    The 90's were the tail end of the ninja craze, it started in the 80's with Sho Kosugi and the American Ninja flicks.
