Pitch Ninja, also known as Nagemaru (ナゲマル, Nagemaru), is an enemy in the Bomberman series. It is a green-clad ninja that throws shurikens.
==Description==
===Super Bomberman 4===
In Super Bomberman 4, Pitch Ninja is found in the Edo Era. It moves at a normal pace, changing directions upon colliding with a block, bomb, or other enemy. If it lines up vertically or horizontally with a player, there are no walls between them, and it is in the middle of a tile space, it will stop and throw a shuriken in the direction of the player. It can only throw one shuriken before moving to the next tile space. The shuriken flies in a straight line and disappears upon colliding with an obstacle or player. Both Pitch Ninja and the shuriken will harm the player on collision. It takes 1 hit to defeat and yields a score of 400 points.
===Super Bomberman 5===
In Super Bomberman 5, Pitch Ninja is found in Zone 4. It keeps the same behavior, except that now it does not pause before changing directions. It takes 1 hit to defeat and yields a score of 400 points.
===Bomberman Max===
In Bomberman Max, Pitch Ninja is found on Secret Star. It moves at a normal pace, constantly pursuing the player. Periodically, it will stop and throw 2 shurikens, one right after the other, in the direction that it is currently facing. The shurikens move in a straight line, passing over any kind of obstacles (except bomb blasts which will destroy them). Both Pitch Ninja and the shurikens will harm the player on collision. It takes 2 hits to defeat.
==Trivia==
*The Japanese name "Nagemaru" is composed of the Japanese word "nage", meaning "throw", and "maru", a suffix for names that was popular in the Edo period.
*In their original appearance, Fire Ninja, Jump Ninja, and Pitch Ninja were all named "Chibimaru". "Chibi" is a Japanese word that is used to describe small children or small, "cute" characters.
