Is the word “ninja” both singular and plural?

Is the word "ninja" both singular and plural? It seems to me that the word can be used correctly in both writing and speaking situations. Could someone clarify whether "ninja" functions grammatically as both a singular and plural noun, or if there are specific contexts where its usage differs?

The word “ninja” is singular, while “ninjas” is plural. However, if you are watching or reenacting a foreign martial arts film, then the word “ninja” may be used in either case. Example:

“I am ninja! These are my ninja friends! We are clan of ninja!”

P.S. No offense to Jackie Chan : )

The proper plural form of the word “ninja” is “ninja” as the Japanese do not pluralize their words. However, it has been Americanized as “ninjas”

No, ninja is singular and ninjas is plural.

Saying this: “The many ninja came at me” doesn’t make sense. It has to be ninjas.

yes it is, because it is a japanese word and japanese do not differentiate plural and singular.
