Synopsis of Ninja Kamui

Ninja Kamui follows Joe Higan, who is a missing-nin – a former ninja who has escaped his clan and is hiding from his violent past in rural America with his family. One night, he is ambushed by a team of assassins from his former organization, who exact bloody retribution on Joe and his family for betraying their old code.

Resurrected from his apparent “death”, Joe resurfaces as his old self – Ninja Kamui – to avenge his family and friends. Kamui is a 21st century ninja, a dark anachronism who pits his ancient skills against high-tech weaponry with brutal subtlety. He must face trained assassins, fight cyborgs and rival ninjas to overthrow the very clan that created him.

Ninja Kamui will inspire a video game called Ninja Kamui: Shinobi Origins which will be released in Spring 2024.
