**Class:** Year 2, Ha Class
**Committee:** Explosives Committee

A laid-back and polite boy who enrolled into Ninjutsu Academy as a second year after being encouraged by father, who works at Kawataredoki Castle.

Originally a main character in the 2005 remake of Amako's 1996 work *Hamuko Mairu!*, he was later adopted into both the manga and anime versions of *Rantarō*. In the latter, he first made his appearance on January 5, 2021 in the episode *Haniwa-kun Tōjo no Dan* (ハニワくん登場の段).

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...
