* 1931 – Masaaki Hatsumi, founder and head of the Bujinkan Dojo organization

Modern schools that claim to train ninjutsu arose from the 1970s, among others those of Masaaki Hatsumi ( Bujinkan ) and Stephen K. Hayes ( To-Shin Do ).

The Bujinkan ( 武神館 ) is an international martial arts organization based in Japan and headed by Masaaki Hatsumi.

Masaaki Hatsumi has attempted to join the Nihon Kobudo Shinkokai, the oldest koryu organization in Japan, but was refused entry when he did not provide evidence of a historical link between the teachings of the Bujinkan and ninjutsu for inspection.

Masaaki Hatsumi ( 初見良昭 Hatsumi Masaaki, born December 2, 1931 ), formerly Yoshiaki Hatsumi, is the founder of the Bujinkan Organization and claims to be the 34th Togakure-ryū Soke ( Grandmaster ).

Masaaki Hatsumi focuses the training of the Bujinkan on the " feeling " of technique or what he terms the feeling of real situations.

The head of the Bujinkan organisation, Hatsumi, claims to be the lineage holder of several ryūha taught in the Bujinkan, which he claims were transferred to him in 1958 by his teacher Takamatsu.

From 1968 and onwards, the Bugei Ryuha Daijiten has entries bearing the name of Hatsumi below his teacher Takamatsu for the following school entries: Gyokko-ryū Kosshi jutsu, Kukishinden Ryu, Kotō-ryū Koppōjutsu, Shinden Fudō-ryū Dakentai jutsu, Takagi Yōshin-ryū Jūtai jutsu, Gikan-ryū Koppō jutsu, Gyokushin-ryū Ninpō and Kumogakure-ryū Ninpō.

Hatsumi announces the year's theme, or focus, each year at the Daikomyosai.

Prior to founding the Bujinkan organization and teaching the nine Ryū collectively ( with particular yearly focus ), Hatsumi awarded his students rank certificates in individual Ryū.

No focus was announced for 2009, though Hatsumi talked about 3 things which are important for a martial artist, which may be loosely considered to be the yearly theme.

Hatsumi was born in Noda, Japan on December 2, 1931.

Hatsumi was accepted as Takamatsu's student and spent fifteen years on Honshu Island learning various ninjutsu styles from Takamatsu and other members of the Takamatsu family, along with continuing to learn judo, karate, aikido, and kobudo.

Takamatsu died in Nara, Japan in 1972 after advancing Hatsumi from student and bestowing on him " all the art of the nine schools ", three of which he indicated were ancient ninja schools and six samurai schools of martial arts.

Hatsumi went on to found the Bujinkan Dojo in Noda, Japan to teach the nine schools to other students.

Hatsumi also worked as a bonesetter after his graduation and was chairman of the Writers Guild of Japan at one point in time.

Hatsumi has a non-standoffish teaching approach, leading Black Belt Magazine to call him " wild, funny, unpredictable, and a cross between Charlie Chaplin and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Hatsumi claims that ninjutsu was developed by Japanese mountain clans, using " esoteric skills and philosophies " brought to Japan by Tang Dynasty exiles.

Hazuki appears cold and unfriendly and is fiercely protective of Hatsumi.

She is actually very vulnerable and romantic, even to the point of being submissive, but refuses to show weakness or depend on anyone but her adoptive sister, Hatsumi — unless she is forced to.

One example of this is her first encounter with Lilith, where she initially refuses Lilith's help in looking for Hatsumi / Eve.

Hazuki idolizes Hatsumi extremely and, as such, considers her sexual attraction to Hatsumi vulgar and shameful.
