Grey Ninja

• Overall, they wore dark grey with contrasting lighter greys creating an interesting and surprisingly functional urban camouflage instead of the usual all-black shozoku often worn by ninja shinobi (male) and kunoichi (female). The clothing appeared voluminous indicating that they were free to move and fight while also concealing any outward indication of strength or body armour. Lightweight combat boots were visible on their feet and most, if not all, carried tanto blades on one or both of their lower legs. All were armed with a mix of modern and ancient weaponry. Their primary weapons were a traditional daishō consisting of a matched pair of swords. At first sight, Hit Girl’s practiced eyes recognised katana paired with wakizashi but in some cases the wakizashi was replaced by a tanto. As for the more modern weapons, Glock pistols were readily visible and carried in holsters carried on the same belt which held the daishō.

Lightweight black gauntlets on the hands and black ninja hoods completed the outfits.
