Trivia
- In Rhythm Sesang: The Best+, the ninjas' outfits are slightly different, in that they wear bandanas and face masks, and the black Ninja lacks the scarf and stars, now resembling traditional Korean ninja outfits. Their ears are also visible. Interestingly, this redesign is not present in their cameo in Freeze Frame in either game.
