Animated Appearances
To my knowledge, Red Ninjas were never animated.

| RED NINJAS are ruthless mercenaries who work mainly for Cobra Commander. They earn top dollar in battle because they are the most feared ninja warriors since the No-Kan-Doo ninja dynasty terrorized China in the 15th century. When Red Ninjas enter a fight, they're in it until the bitter end (or until they get paid more money to fight someone else). G.I. Joe is the only force that has ever defeated them, as they did in the famous Sushi battle that had sweet and sour moments for both sides. Red Ninjas possess advanced ninjutsu skills that are hard to find, and they fight like razor-toothed sharks in a feeding frenzy.

| RED NINJA VIPER warriors, wearing the symbol of the Arashkiage clan, are ruthless mercenaries who work mainly for COBRA COMMANDER. They earn top dollar in battle because they are one of the most formidable clans of ninja warriors existing today. When RED NINJA VIPER troopers enter a fight, they're in it until the bitter end (or until they get paid more money to fight someone else). The G.I. JOE Team is the only force that has ever defeated them. RED NINJA VIPER warriors possess advanced ninjitsu skills that are hard to find, and they fight with razor-sharp moves that are almost faster than the eye can see. "We spin and slice with the skill of the great masters, but only for the best price." | |
