About Me

Ninja80... Because one can never get enough ninja toys and ninja girls and ninja movies and...
....
This is the MySpace site of co-editors Keith J. Rainville and Tim March, and our meandering multi-media project "Ninja80."
Original ninja fanatics during the 80's craze, when both were in Junior High with way too much time on their hands and basements full of home-made weapons. From there, Keith followed the road to publishing and bufallo wings, eventually starting the Mexican masked wrestling mag From Parts Unknown , and Tim got 67 black belts and runs a martial arts school outside of Detroit, MI. Neither lost his love of all things ninja, though.
We're fascinated by the original ninja crazes - pop art of the late 1700s, Kabuki theater of the mid-1800's, Japanese cinema of the 1960's - and the more we discover the more we see how badly we got JIPPED here in the 80's! Decades of amazing movies and TV shows and toylines and manga were denied us back then, so we're trying to make up for it all now.
See the humble website: www.ninja80.com
And TONS of N80 photo matter and ninja movie screen caps can be seen here: The Ninja80 BLOG . It's a good place to go if you like girls with swords...
