When the Ninja Invaded America

Coming Spring 2026

Available in Hardcover, Softcover, and E-book

NINJAMANIA! is the definitive history of how the ninja moved from obscure historical footnote to pop-culture phenomenon. Blending martial arts scholarship with film history and investigative research, the book traces the 1980s explosion of the ninja across movies, television, paperbacks, and video stores, separating documented tradition from creative invention. Drawing on rare sources, interviews, and industry archives, it reveals how myth, marketing, and media combined to create one of the most enduring icons of modern entertainment.
