 Ninja gained notability as mercenaries during the 15th century, when they were hired to employ many asymmetrical warfare tactics such as scouting operations, raiding operations, arson, and even terrorism. These tactics were considered abhorrent by members of the samurai class. Following the Tokugawa shogunate in the 17th century, the ninja faded into obscurity, though a number of shinobi manuals, often based on Chinese military philosophy, were written in the 17th and 18th centuries, most notably the 1676 ''Bansenshūkai''. By the time of the Meiji Restoration in 1868, shinobi had become a topic of popular culture in Japan which featured in many legend and folklore, where they were associated with many supernatural abilities.
-Many of the now-ubiquitous stereotypes about ninja were developed within Edo theatre: their black clothing was supposed to imitate the outfits worn by ''kuroko'', stagehands meant to be ignored by the audience; and their use of shuriken, which was meant to contrast with the use of swords by onstage samurai. In kabuki theatre, ninja were "dishonorable and often sorcerous counterparts" to samurai, and possessed "almost, if not outright, magical means of camouflage." Many famous people in Japanese history, including several known samurai, have been associated or identified as ninja, but their status as ninja is difficult to prove and may be the product of later imagination; rumors surrounding famous warriors sometimes describe them as ninja, though there is similarly little evidence for these claims.
