Backstory
"Currently training at Ninja College, or as it's officially named, Rasen Ninjutsu University. The ninjutsu techniques of this 'student of stealth' allow him to disappear into thin air and make fools of his opponents! The ARMS Grand Prix doubles as his senior project, and that challenge is the one thing he won't hide from." —Official Description
Ninjara is a training ninja student at the Rasen Ninja University who enjoys reading books and hiding like a ninja. He has come to the ARMS tournament to represent his own university.
Attributes
Ninjara's abilities are designed to evade attacks more easily. For example, each time Ninjara blocks an attack he disappears, thus receiving no shield chip damage, and teleports to a different location, which allows him to counterattack. He can also teleport a short distance in the air while air-dashing.
