City Hall Workers Dress Up as Ninjas for Japan's National Ninja Day

  • 7 years ago
Employees dressed as ninjas milled through City Hall in the Japanese city of Koka to celebrate a new holiday - National Ninja Day!

Although National Ninja Day is actually on February 22, local bureaucrats in the tourism division have already started going to work clad in full ninja garb at Koka's city hall. These government employees will wear ninja attire for the whole week until February 24.

Koka city was actually responsible for picking February 22 for National Ninja Day because the number two is pronounced “ni” in Japanse, and saying "ni" repeatedly resembles the beloved anime character Ninja Hattori Kun, whose catchphrase was "nin nin".
