No one truly knows what ninja where, most of any martial lineage is based on word of mouth and subject to debate, to use the term for anyone who practises ninjutsu chepaen the meaning of the word.

I would not call a kenjutsu student a samurai, nor a wax model a human.
But that's what I'm tryna find out, what if the word was made for people who practises ninjitsu?

Yeah but to be a samurai you had to be registered I believe, and to be a human you need tissue samples, which a wax model doesn't have. And in my opinion, kenjutsu is not as tightly knit with the samurai as ninjitsu to ninja. Samurais relied more than on just their sword, such as archery, the use of naginatas et cetera.
