With Storm Shadow (Can You Spot Us?... You know ninjas, we blend - might be tough?...) Anyway, here's some wiki geek stuff: Storm Shadow's real name is Thomas S. Arashikage (トーマス・嵐影) (Arashi meaning "Storm" and kage meaning "shadow" in Japanese), a Japanese American. Storm Shadow served in the U.S. Army special operations group along with Snake Eyes, and later invited him to train as a ninja with his family in Japan.
