Ninja, also known as shinobi , operated throughout Japan and performed espionage, sabotage and assassinations.

When exactly they originated is unclear, but ninjas operated in Japan until the late 19th century .

The all-black uniform that modern-day people imagine ninja wearing comes from puppet theater.

Wearing all black would most certainly draw attention.
