Ninjahopper

Ninjahopper, or うわー！あなたがロックホッパー！あなたは忍者です！, is one of Rockhopper's younger brothers, and an experienced Ninja. Unlike his older brother, he despises sailing as he claims it makes him sea sick. He is currently being trained by Sensei.

Background
About 6 years after Rockhopper hatched, Ninjahopper's egg was laid. Instead of having the egg put in a incubation center, the father insisted he carried the egg himself. Unfortunately, one day Jockhopper tripped, and the egg fell in the snow. He got it back just in time before it froze, but this would alter the Chick's behavior much.



About a month later the egg hatched, and a little black Chick was born. When he was about 8, Rockhopper took him for a ride on the Hydro-Hopper. It lasted for about 3 hours and at the end of it poor, Ninjahopper's whole face had turned green. He quickly went home, and stayed in bed for two days unable to even think of salt water. Since then he despised sailing and instead wished to be a Ninja.

When he recovered from his Hydro-Hopper ride, he would pretend he was a brave Ninja. He pretended his dad's ties were belts. When he got caught doing this though he would be forced to wash them by flipper, and then write 50 times on a chalk board "Ties are not for Ninja Belts".

Future
Years later the news of this young penguin's wish to become a ninja reached The Sensei. The old penguin decided to give Ninjahoppper a chance and asked him to come and see him in the morning. Ninjahopper's reaction was almost as suprising as some of Explorer's modes. He didn't sleep at all that night for he was to excited.

The next day he went to the Dojo to train as a Ninja Student. Sensei expected the young penguin to be a novice like most of his students were at first, but he was suprisingly quite well. He earned his Black Belt, and Mask in two days. Shortly before Sensei's death in 2023, he announced that Ninjahopper would be his successor.

6 years after he became Sensei, Ninjahopper died from an accident while training in Card-Jitsu Fire: After he leapt from one stone he missed his mark and instead fell in the lava, killing him almost instantly. Word spread fast around the Dojo about his death, and soon after his funeral Hat Pop was named as his successor.

Involvement
Ninjahopper is currently training under the watch of Sensei, Sensei Wraith, True Sensei. He is excited about being the next Ninja trainer, but still has much to learn. As allways his Ninja students confuse him for Rockhopper, and he still gets sea sick on boats. The only time he still goes on them is when he has to get to the family reunion at Rockhopper Island.
