In the Edo League, the typical pokégirl that can be found in almost any Tamer's Harem is a Kunoichi. There are other choices, other pokégirls that utilize the art of Ninjutsu. One of the others is the Ninjette, and another is the Kunimitsu. Yet another is the rare Tsaravanna Harpy, though at best she is a novice in comparison to the standard practitioners of the art.  The last choice is the Ninjanezumi. This is a favored evolution of the Titmouse in the Edo, Opal, and even the Ruby Leagues, although in Ruby the Dark Stone and Shield Stones required to facilitate this evolution are quite difficult to come by. These mouse types tend to have varied builds- some are overly busty (up to a EE-cup) and are tall with enticing curves, while others remain short and have a more Tomboy-like build (with a maximum bust size of around a B-cup, with A-cups being more common). Domestic Ninjanezumi and threshold cases sometimes find themselves in between the two extremes, which can lead to confusion amongst some tamers.

Despite the bodily differences, both are adept at both battles and sex-battles. Tamers often lean their teachings one way or the other, however, and has led to the suggestion that tamers only 'train' a large breasted Ninjanezumi in sex-battle techniques, and just train the more lean, Tomboy-like Ninjanezumi in standard battle techniques. Some tamers switch this tactic around in Leagues other than Edo, and is sometimes a tactic that leads to devastating effects during a battle. The majority of Ninjanezumi tend to have short and soft gray fur, (with some noted as tan, white, or black) although most domestics tend to not grow fur. Both have mouse-like ears, though smaller than most. They are still quite sensitive to sound, however, with their impressive auditory range. This does work against them, however, as sonic attacks are far more painful to them than to any other Titmouse evolution. They also retain long, thin, and lithe mouse-like tails, which are often only half as long as the Pokégirl is tall.

These Pokégirls wear clothing that allows them to blend in with the environment that surrounds them, when given the chance. Though not shy, they did evolve from the Titmouse and hiding is a survival trait to such a Pokégirl. One trait that is new, however, is the fact that they are very wary when without a weapon. The Ninjanezumi prefer to be armed at any given time- even ferals can sometimes be found with a tree branch or a pipe of some sort in their hands while they sleep, and ferals have been known to defend themselves with such makeshift weapons as well. The weapons of a Ninjanezumi are chosen to suit their fighting style. ALL Ninjanezumi use a bladed weapon of some sort, since they want to go for one-hit KOs and most blunt weapons are too heavy and detract from their speed. While the majority use weapons of Eastern Influence such as the kunai, katar, tanto, ninjato, or wakizashi, it's not unheard of for some Ninjanezumi to prefer and use weapons of a more Western styles such as the rondel dagger, stiletto, dirk, or the basilard and gladius short-sword. These alternate weapons are much more commonly used outside of Edo and Opal, however.

Personality-wise, the Ninjanezumi are a naturally secretive and unfriendly type of Pokégirl, which is especially eccentric, considering they are mouse Pokégirls, one of the most skittish yet very friendly types of Pokégirls in existence. They are very quiet too, rarely making any noise, and when they do, it is normally done so to speak. And they will only speak when spoken to by their Tamer. Still, there are Ninjanezumi that become fiercely loyal to their Tamers, and are the ones that do their tasks with a high level efficiency, completing the task almost every time and in record time. It doesn't matter the task given to them, if the Tamer has managed to turn the Ninjanezumi’s loyalty towards them, with the Pokégirl viewing them as their ‘lord’, they will do anything asked of them, even seppuku. The abuse of this loyalty has lead a number of Ninjanezumi to often become employed by Teams and members of the underworld, (especially in the Eastern part of the Edo League) as they are very silent species; reliable to succeed at performing more 'underhanded' tasks then most Pokégirls in general.

In the beginning of the war, Ninjanezumi were utilized as spies and scouts, as well as to sabotage the human's resistence whenever possible. However, despite also being originally used to assassinate humans in the armies, the Ninjanezumi were far too easily caught when their animal-like traits (their ears and tails and sometimes even other rat-like features) were found. As a result, the Kunoichi were quickly created and were used to fulfill the roles of assassins, while the Ninjanezumi were simply relegated to the less proud positions of spies and saboteurs. In 264, notes were uncovered in a set of ruins that had been one of Sukebe’s labs: at one time, in Edo, some Ninjanezumi banded together and thwarted an assassination attempt by one of the best of the Kunoichi of the time. One later that year even went so far as to try and assassinate Sukebe himself, but was cut down by Shiva before the assassin could strike. This information has led some Researchers to propose the theory that this may be why Sukebe created so many cat-type Pokégirls as a way to say, “thanks” to his traitors.

Given proper training, Ninjanezumi are incredibly skilled combatants. While they may lack a number of the ranged attacks of a Kunoichi, they are easily on par with similar breeds of Fighting-types, such as the Slicer or Ronin. However, like most mouse-type Pokégirls, the Ninjanezumi have a special disadvantage against cat-types and are easily startled/intimidated by the feline Pokégirls, especially Cheetits (who are even faster than the Ninjanezumi, something that typically scares the hell out of the mouse-type). This Pokégirl also possesses a technique that is known only as a Healing Meditation and is somehow unique only to the Ninjanezumi. When in a deep meditation, the hurt pokégirl can regenerate and heal themselves up to five times faster than normal. Typically, this is not an issue, but when far from a Pokécenter this can be very useful. However, upon exiting the trance, the Pokégirl will be weak from hunger and fatigue from the increase of their healing processes.

When it comes to Taming, one term suits Ninjanezumi more than others: 'Multi-orgasmic'. These Pokégirls can be made to cum again and again in succession. This is the major weakness of any mouse-type, though the Ninjanezumi that are trained to combat in sex-battles find it a badge of honor and a source of pride to actually win such a battle that otherwise they are constantly in danger of losing almost as soon as it begins. It also makes her tamer easily capable of taming her to exhaustion, a fact that leaves her with a smile on her face and the tamer time to get some likely much needed rest.

While unheard of for well over two hundred years, it is in the past decade that cases of a girl going through Threshold would change into a Ninjanezumi have been recorded. All cases have so far only been in the Edo League, and with the number of occurrences growing every year, it may become a more mainstream threshold well down the line.
