The show primarily follows the antics of [[TheHero Eizan Kaburagi]], [[{{McNinja}} Jimmy B.]] and [[ActionGirl Okuni Dohan]]. If you hardly heard of it, that's no surprise.

Near the end of its run, the show received a movie titled ''Shuriken School: The Ninja's Secret'' or ''The Ninja's Secret: A Shuriken School Adventure'' which aired on Creator/{{Disney Channel}} Asia on December 21, 2007 and was released on [=DVD=] in the US on April 15, 2014.

16	* BlackBeadEyes: All the characters have eyes that are drawn as tiny dots.
17	* BoardingSchoolOfHorrors: Both Shuriken and Katana, albeit in different ways. Shuriken's infrastructure is crumbling, and the school perpetually suffers from financial woes. Katana resembles a [[MilitarySchool military school]], complete with a [[DeanBitterman scary headmaster]] who doles out [[DisproportionateRetribution borderline abusive punishments for menial failures]].

33	** The show's entire premise. We have a trio of best friends attending a ninja school and getting up to daily misadventures. Said school is headed by an elderly principal and consists of a crew of quirky teachers, their school uniform is of a primary color which contrasts with the secondary color of their rivals, and they even have a FunnyAnimal among the cast. [[Manga/NintamaRantarou Now where have we heard that before...?]]
34	** The head of Katana school looks like Heihachi from the ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' series.
35	** Ami has the hairstyle and personality of Minako Aino, while she shares the first name of Ami Mizuno in ''Franchise/SailorMoon''.
36	** In "Pop Star for a Day", [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jk9w6te1idE/hqdefault.jpg Eizan and Okuni]] -- after their makeover -- resemble [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Naruto and Sarada]] respectively.[[note]]''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' not yet being conceived at the time of the episode's airing notwithstanding.[[/note]]
37	%%* TheMovie
38	* TwoGirlsToATeam: Ami and Okuni are the only two female students at Shuriken, and conveniently conform to the TomboyAndGirlyGirl dichotomy.
39	* UnwantedAssistance: Okuni is not too pleased with Eizan and Jimmy's "help" when she is being attacked by a dragon in "The Master of Darkness". Everytime they throw something at the dragon, it almost hits her. She even yells "Stop helping me!"
