Kunoichi (women's version)

Kunoichi refers to female ninjas in Japanese history, skilled covert operatives trained in espionage, combat, disguise, and infiltration. Historically, they supported male ninjas with tasks like gathering intelligence, sabotaging enemies, and sometimes engaging in combat. While often romanticized in popular media, real kunoichi were highly trained professionals employed in specialized roles, exemplifying agility, secrecy, and resourcefulness. Their contributions were vital during feudal Japan’s conflicts, although their historical presence is less documented and more mythologized compared to their male counterparts.
