	T'Gin-Zu was the best martial arts student STORM SHADOW ever taught. He studied the martial arts for over 20 years until he earned the right to be called a ninja master. He learned some of the guarded secrets of the Arashikage ninja clan, especially those dealing with covert operations and various techniques in self-discipline and endurance training. During his first week as part of the Ninja Force, T'Gin-Zu volunteered to be a Ninja Raider driver. Since then, he has clobbered Cobras across the globe in his pursuit to capture the entire band of Cobra's Red Ninjas...ALONE!!! Motto: "Driving a Ninja Raider is like being strapped to a lightning bolt!"
Toy Notes: Featured in the Ninja Force commercial (where his name was pronounced to sound like Ginsu). Item #6792. The character art and the prototype seen in the ad have orange shoulders, boots, and chest details, and a black face mask.
