[edit] Characters
- Goh "The Crow"- The main character and protagonist of Shinobido, Goh appears to be widely known throughout Utakata, and has apparently garnered many enemies throughout his former life. Goh's only remaining purpose is to find the eight mystic stones containing his soul and memories and uncover the truth behind the destruction of the Asuka ninja. However, as each day passes, Goh will discover that perhaps the truth is best left unknown.
- Kinu "The Canary"- A mysterious, young kunoichi whom Goh will encounter during his missions. She is clad in red clothing, and has a cloud-shaped tattoo-- similar to the design featured on the Asuka's clothing-- on her thigh. She does not appear openly hostile towards Goh, but what are her intentions and can she be trusted? Kinu may or may not be a surviving member of the Asuka ninja, although if so, how and why did she survive the attack?
- Zaji "The Hawk"- Became the leader of the Asuka Clan after the defeat of Gamuran, a one-eyed ninja who wears an Asuka-style uniform, fighting with the same sword and in Asuka-style martial arts. Although Zaji does not speak, he appears extremely hostile towards Goh and each encounter with him will involve open combat. What are his reasons for wanting Goh dead? Was he somehow involved in the destruction of Asuka Village?
