Background

In the ancient days, the Emperor had a favorite troupe of entertainers whom he trusted much more than even his personal guards. At his order, an artificer was ordered to create several sets of masks and puppets that would allow his favorite troupe to both entertain him and serve as his bodyguards.

With the rise of the Shogunate and the resignation of the Imperial family to figurehead status, the artifacts became lost. Recently, Danryokusei found a large chest beneath the flooring of the building that was purchased as the new Shumon House of Kyoto. There were a number of bundles wrapped in silk and bound with a seal that was clearly of a magical nature.

In exchange for their help, the evil sorceror, Mister Chaos, unsealed the bundles for Ichiban. And Number One offered the masks and puppets to the Shinkou Ninja after the death of their clan leader at the hands of Blindside. For this, Number One demanded that the Shinkou work as part of Ichiban.
Personality
These are the most dedicated of the Shinkou. They are serious about their job as assassins despite their cover as entertainers. In some ways this makes them doubly dangerous.
Quote
"We are here to keep you entertained, in our own way."
Powers

Yokyou are mystic ninja chosen from the ranks of the Shinkou. These elite ninja are taught meditation techniques that attune their ki to entertainment artifacts that magically enhance them in a variety of ways.
Appearance

The Yokyou Ninja wear typical black ninja garb with the exception that most of them wear a traditional Japanese entertainment mask (used in Noh, Kabuki, or Kyogen), those that do not wear a mask bear a half-size human puppet on their fronts.
