'''Dog Ninja''' (Japanese: '''犬忍者''' ''Inu Ninja'') is the 23rd minigame in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and the 29th minigame in [[Rhythm Heaven Megamix|''Rhythm Heaven Megamix'']]. The [[Dog Ninja (Character)|main playable character]] is a dog that slices various things such as vegetables, tires, and frying pans.
The objects can come into the screen from either side and be sliced when they reach the middle. They can also come in on both sides at the same time, but this doesn't change the timing, it just causes somewhat of a distraction. When a good slice is done, the object splits in half.
The player plays as the eponymous [[Dog Ninja!]], who slices things such as vegetables, tires, and cast-iron skillets. The objects come into the screen from either left or right, or both sides, and must be sliced at the precise moment.
During practice, [[Dog Ninja!]] can be seen inside a room. In the real game, he is seen outside, with [[Mister Eagle]] appearing at the start with a sign saying "Cut everything!"
