Serious 69-year-old real-life Japanese Ninja interviewed in my beloved Japan! (the interview was in Japanese, of course; but the video has English subtitles!)

Another thread dedicated to my dear @eatshitndie-sama!

Actually, Kawakami-sensei, the real-life:

in the above video, was 69 going on 70 when he was interviewed in April/May 2019 (last year), so he's 71 this year.

Also, because the above video was so popular last year (over ten million views as of now), he was interviewed again a few months later:

and he even said that he has a 33-year-old wife and a four-year-old daughter!

But they did not appear in the video!

Wow thank you for posting this! This Ninja the real thing.

I laughed when he said the Shuriken is not a Ninja weapon. But Samurai!

How to carry? LOL!

And cumbersome to throw! And throw at stationary object already tough much more moving! LOL!

and iron! Iron valuable! Throw away? LOL!

Made total sense man!

So how and why is the Shuriken associated with Ninjas instead of Samurai? Sounds like it was totally Hollywood Artistic License.
