I'd have to go with Hayabusa. I like the NES games, and he made such a great transition to 3D and it's fantastic just to watch people who are adept at using him and doing all sort of flashy combos.

Raiden is the hero the world needs.

Hey where is "the last ninja" or that douche streamer with that original name "ninja"?

None of these frankly, because they aren't anything like real ninjas. My pick goes to the protagonist of Mark of the Ninja.

But nah, I went for ma boi Raiden, even if it's almost by default by not playing any of the others for a decent amount of time.

The gang from the Goemon series.

None of these other ninjas have giant robot allies with amazing theme songs.

Gray Fox might have the "coolness factor" happening, and Strider was the star of one of the best Genesis games, but come on. It's pretty obvious who the Ninja of video games is. Joe would be my second choice (since Kage from VF isn't listed). Revenge of Shinobi was easily one of the greatest 16-bit games of all time, and what was even more impressive was that it was one of the earlier releases. The original one, that had Spider-Man, The Hulk and Terminator in it. Plus Shinobi (Arcade and Genesis) and Shadowdancer.

Glad to see Ryu Hayabusa getting some respect. Ninja Gaiden games are great.

Hayabusa. Even have a statue of him in my living room.

Ninja Gaiden Black is one of the greatest games ever made.

The hipster choice would be someone who's actually focused on stealth and assassination and not just being an action/fighting game badass.

Ok, if you put Goemon in a poll I have to vote for Goemon.

Not even Raiden can rival his abilities.
