I thought this for the vast majority of the game, and the title was a clever Double Entendré referencing Mark, the titular character and his marks, the source of his superhuman power. It was only whne I refered to him as Mark to a friend, They were all "Phbbblt, WHAT?!"

It hasn't stopped me calling him Mark, either, as "nameless Hisomu ninja" is an unweildy title.

Mark is tied with Joe for the best ninja name of all time

No, that's silly. But I get your point, still a ninja named Mark is silly.

Yeah, I totally did the same thing. I think it adds something to the fiction of the game. Something stupid. Which is great!

I jokingly called him Mark, but I knew it wasn't his real name.

Three way tie with Chad.

(But I guess that was a Barbarian's name.)

Mark Hisomu. Works for me.

A school friend of mine was once reading a copy of auto trader and referred to the "top marques" section as "top marquiees". The shit he got after that mistake.

Mark the Ninja. lol

No. Because I am not an idiot.

My buddy and I kept referring to him and the game as Mark Ninjaman.

Yeah, didn't Vinny make that joke during the Quick Look, except he was clearly joking, because if that was really the character's name, then "Mark of the Ninja" would be the worst pun ever?

I'm incredibly disappointed by the fact that the ninja you mentioned wasn't Joe Musashi.

Musashi actually looks kinda badass, though. Joe Hayabusa looks like a doofus so the weird ninja name suits him. plus, i'm a huge Ninja Gaiden fan so it was kind of natural for a Hayabusa name to come to my head first.

So Joe Musashi, Mark Hisomu and Joe Hayabusa walk into a bar...

I call bullshit. They're all ninja and ninja aren't that clumsy.

I'm angry at myself for never thinking of this. It's too good.

LOL. Totally made my day.
