T'GIN-ZU was the best martial arts student STORM SHADOW ever taught. He studied the martial arts for over 20 years until he earned the right to be called a ninja master. He learned some of the guarded secrets of the Arashikage ninja clan, especially those dealing with covert operations and various techniques in self-discipline and endurance training. During his first week as part of Ninja Force, T'Gin-Zu volunteered to be a Ninja Raider driver. Since then, he has clobbered Cobras across the globe in his pursuit to capture the entire band of Cobra's Red Ninjas...ALONE!!!

Body Construction
T'Gin-Zu's body was originally used in 1992 to create Storm Shadow (v3) and later used to make Storm Shadow (v4/Shadow Ninja) (1994), Storm Shadow (v6) (2000), Storm Shadow (v9) (2002), and Storm Shadow (v12) (2004). The chest, arms, waist, and legs were re-used in 1993 to create Ken Masters and Ken Masters (v2).
Like all the Ninja Force figures, T'Gin-Zu's body was designed with a "real ninja move." If T'Gin-Zu's left arm was raised, the right arm would move back. The left arm could then be let go, causing the right arm to spring forward in a punching motion.
Note that T'Gin-Zu has two cloth ribbons attached to his right hip.
