Appearing in
Metal Gear Solid for the
Playstation, Cyber Ninja is one of the more deadly but important and sympathetic characters that
Solid Snake encounters.
Early in the game, reports of an
assassin wearing
Stealth Camoflage and armed with a
sword with amazing cutting ability are overheard by Solid Snake and evidence of someone else infiltrating the Alaskan base grows until Solid Snake finally meets Cyber Ninja face to face.
Later, Solid Snake and Cyber Ninja test each other in hand to hand combat over the life of
Otacon, with Cyber Ninja dropping hints that Solid Snake once knew him and how only the thrill and pain of
combat can make him feel alive.
During the
climactic showdown, we learn who Cyber Ninja truly is, what his connection to Solid Snakes past was and the hidden secrets of his past along with that of another
important character in the
game.
Cyber Ninja has been faithfully reproduced in toy form by
McFarlane Toys and while the figure is not terribly posable, it is still an excellent figure if left in it's original pose.
