| English | Ninja | Aninja (Japanese:忍者; literally, "concealed one") is a type of covert mercenary which originated in 15th-century feudal Japan. They were often tasked with infiltration, sabotage, and assassination, and are historically known to have relied on disguise and misdirection techniques to achieve their missions. Ninja became prominent figures in Japanese folklore, where they are often depicted in an exaggerated manner as almost supernaturally agile, stealthy, and lethal. This conception of ninja in turn passed into popular culture in both Japan and the rest of the world, and theirFire Emblem depiction is very much in this spirit. |
| Japanese | 忍 | Officially romanized asSinobi. "Shinobi" is a synonym for ninja which is taken from the kanji忍 by itself, as opposed to the word "ninja" being忍者. |
