My inking was always that multiple EGM editors/reviewers sometimes published under that moniker over the years.
I really miss those days, the magazine was great back then. Nothing else has really came close other than the 1up years when a bunch of them were on there.

A reviewer in the old EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly) magazine, only represented as a cartoon ninja.

I worked at EGM from '94 - '04
Yeah, pretty sure this has been stated on the Giant Bombcast at some point
Oh yeah, that's right.
Gee, maybe the OP should have included some context?
Yeah, I think that exact reason was restated by someone on a Giant Bombcast episode a couple months back.
Yes, initially written by one person. Then handed off to various people. Then it was me for a time, John Davison for a time, and usually one person "owned" the voice of the column even if the rumors were from various people/places.
I remember the fake picture of a young asian kid playing SF2 portrayed as Sushi X printed in EGM. Can't seem to find the pic anywhere though. I believed Sushi X and Sheng Long to be real during those times haha.
I always thought it was an alternate penname for Shoe.
*edit*
Aaaaaaand of course that was wrong.

Incorrect, though of course as staff changed the 'character' stayed and was written by other people.
As do I. EGM, and to an extent 1UP, played a major role in my life. It's what pushed me into getting a journalism degree, and I was legitimately crushed when it initially shut down. Only time that's ever happened to me with a publication.
I guess the fact that he was ghost written made me think he was a collective entity. Everyone did a good job by it did slip up that Sushi X was the same guy all the time!
Does anyone what happened so Andy...What's his name again? The guy who sorta looked like Weird Al and likes RPGs.
Young people are stupid for not knowing what I know.
I thought he was so cool when I was a kid cuz he was a Ninja.

I quite enjoyed the characters and pen names for 90s gaming mags. Egm and gamepro will always have a special place in my heart.
That said, who knows?

I always thought it was either Dan Hsu or a few of the staff back in the days before the internet.
