Rantarou, Shinbei and Kirimaru are ninja apprentices in the Ninja Gakuen, where first grade ones are called "Nintamas" (contraction of the words ninja+tama (egg). They must learn everything a ninja must know, but as for our heroes, money, food or playing are more interesting. The series show the everyday adventures of our heroes, segmentated in a cartoon fashion, like 2 small episodes in a 30-min show. The cast also includes the teachers (Doi-sensei and crossdressing Yamada-sensei), nintama kunoichis, evil guys (Dokutake ninjas) and even family members of all the cast...

Where it came from
Nintama Rantarou first aired in 1993, produced by the animation studio Ajiado. Based on the manga Rakudai Ninja Rantarou by Soubee Amako, the series was commissioned by NHK to bring the humorous, slice-of-life adventures of young students at a ninja academy to a broad family audience. The show is notable for its longevity, having maintained a consistent presence in Japanese television programming for over three decades.
The character designs were crafted to capture a distinctively rounded, approachable aesthetic that contrasts with more traditional, gritty portrayals of ninjas in media. Ajiado emphasized a bright color palette and expressive, simple character silhouettes, which helped the show resonate with children while maintaining enough wit to attract adult viewers. It was received as a cultural staple in Japan, celebrated for its educational segments on history and its focus on themes of friendship and academic perseverance.
