==Trivia==
* Japanese name: '''Kunoichi-忍-''' (SLPM-65447)
*Widescreen support with .pnatch file from the [http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-PCSX2-Widescreen-Game-Patches?pid=271674#pid271674 PCSX2 forums]. Search for game CRC. Be aware that the game uses many 2D elements, like the pause screen, the main menu, etc. These will not be resized to the 16:9 aspect ratio and will remain in 4:3. Nothing gamebreaking here, just a reminder.
