Mifune (known as Ninja in Streets of Rage 2) is an enemy from Streets of Rage 2 and Streets of Rage 3.
Details[]
Mifune and his palette swaps appear as ninja-like enemies. Accordingly, they move fast around the screen and are constantly jumping around, making it harder to hit them. Some of them will be carrying kunai or swords, which they use for a deadly spinning attack. In both games they are also able to throw shuriken while airborne. They can use an afterimage technique to evade jumping attacks.
