History
Nina Yamashiro's father was a tokusatsu stuntman who'd fought alongside the Ultimate Ninja against one of those monster-creating crime syndicates that Japan is full of, and became his blood brother. Her mother was a high-ranking member of the League of Net.Assassins, sent to kill him, but they fell in love. UN helped them escape to Net.ropolis and solemnized their marriage.
Nina's parents settled down into a relatively peaceful life. She was raised as a ninja, but was largely non-practicing. The Ultimate Ninja visited her now and again, and took her to see the LNH; it was on one of these visits that she got into a ridiculous space adventure. However, since she wasn't a regularly appearing character, she aged in something like real time, and went to art school for animation.
But then, Catalyst Lass, Fearless Leader and Cheesecake-Eater Lad brought her to the LNHQ. They revealed that her uncle had transcended fictional reality into the imagination of the Real World, and that he had set up a contingency plan for someone to take his place – and his first choice was Nina.

Footnotes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 Due to the fact that WikiLull EXHALE and Hungry, Hungry Sabertooths! #6 took years to come out, a number of stories were written where the status of the Ultimate Ninja was ambiguous. Thus, appearances of the Ultimate Ninja between late 2016 and the publishing of HHS #6 may be interpreted as either the original, with the story happening on Earth-Combover, or Ultimate Ninja II in the post-WikiLull Looniverse. (Notably, Legion of Net.Heroes Volume 3 #2 explicitly features the post-WikiLull Ultimate Ninja, and Hungry, Hungry Sabertooths! #3 and #13 retcon #1 to happening on Earth-Combover.)
