==Trivia==
==Gallery==
*In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the Ninja Boy on Route 217 mentions different kinds of ninja in the world. He says, "There are several kinds of ninjas. Are you an Iga or a Kouga ninja?" Considering Kouga is similar to the [[Koga|name]] of the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Fuchsia City]], this may indicate the existence of another major Ninja trainer named Iga. He is referring to the two historical [[wp:Iga-ryu|ninja]] [[wp:Koga-ryu|clans]], one of which Koga is named for.

Diamond & Pearl arc

In Magnificent Meditite & Really Riolu I, a Ninja Boy makes a cameo while the main characters visit Veilstone City.

The Ninja Boy and his friend appeared briefly in Stunning Staravia & Stinky Skuntank II.
