Most people have no idea who the Lin Kuei were, their connection to Wong Yang Lum and the Shaolin temple, etc. I also studied Ninjitsu. So it's just for simplicity. It's Shaolin Kuei spliced with Ninjitsu (and they're almost the same thing anyways; two sides of the same coin).

It also has personal meaning, since I am half-Japanese, half-Chinese.
