Tales of the Ninja (Japanese: 忍者武芸帳, Hepburn: Ninja Bugeichō) (also known as Band of Ninja) is a 1967 Japanese film directed by Nagisa Ōshima. It is based on Sanpei Shirato's manga Ninja Bugeichō. Rather than making an animated adaptation, Ōshima decided to simply shoot the panels of the manga in order, adding narration and employing zooming and panning techniques.
