Dude Shinobi was originally named
Duke Shinobi and he had blond hair. But then a couple people we showed the comic to mistook him for a Duke Nukem parody, which wasn't our intent (after all, Duke Nukem is extremely 90s—not 80s), so we altered him.
Speaking of name-changes, for the first several years that we talked about doing this project, it was called
Shinobi Fist: Legend of the Badass Ninja. It wasn't until relatively recently that we decided to take it in a more satanic direction and renamed it
Satan Ninja 198X. We still catch ourselves starting to refer to it as Shinobi Fist. So now I frequently end up referring to the comic as "Shino—
fuck—Satan Ninja."
