Where did Ninja grow up?
Does anyone know where Ninja grew up with a citation provided. I think it is London, but as a "Fair Witness" I cannot say that I can provide a citation substantiating that. Until someone does I am going to revert the changes that 76.168.252.66 made.

Ninja is from London
Found a citation for "Ninja is from London" here: [http://dcist.com/2007/10/30/dcist_interview_6.php DC List. "Concert Preview: The Go! Team" by Andrew Wiseman. October 30, 2007]

Mother "Trained Doctors"
I am reverting the changes that 76.168.252.66 made. The citation says that Ninja's mother "trained doctors." It does not say that Ninja's mother is a doctor herself but that she "trained doctors." She could be a university professor.

Real name?
Does anyone know her actual name? Crabsoneyes (talk) 21:16, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

It should be added.--206.248.172.247 (talk) 06:26, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Nkechi or Nkeithi?
Ninja's real name is Nkechi Ka Egenamba. However I have also found an alternate spelling for her first name - Nkeithi that was used in a petition by the "Music First Coalition." Nkechi is short for Nkechinyere, and means "what God has given" or "gift of God" in Igbo, the language of the Igbo people of Nigeria, an ethnic group in West Africa, numbering in the tens of millions. Ninja's father is Nigerian and and her mother is half-Egyptian, half-Nigerian.

Best Regards,

Does Anyone have a Birthday and Year of Birth for Ninja?
I have an approximate age. Ninja was 23 in 2005 according to an article published in London Diaries. Does anyone have a birthday and year of birth? Reservoirhill (talk) 02:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Merge and Snip
A lot of this should be merged to the The Go! Team, which is much shorter. And a lot should be snipped as it currently reads like an exhaustive and exhausting compendium of everything Ninja has ever said in an interview, rather than an encyclopedia article.

 * Agreed. The vast majority of it is an extensive summary and set of quotes from a handful of sources, which is inappropriate. I'm trimming much. -- Zim Zala Bim talk  04:57, 26 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I disagree, I see no reason to merge, Ninja is notable on her own, just because that is her band does not mean you should merge just for the sake of it. And I guess since it has been 4 months her page does not read full of interviews or quotes, and it is well cited--Sugarcubez (talk) 10:15, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: page moved and also created a redirect Ninja (South African rapper) → Watkin Tudor Jones. Whether WTJ should be moved to that title is up to Talk:Watkin Tudor Jones. Ninja (musician) redirected to the People section of the dab page. -- JHunterJ (talk) 13:20, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Ninja (musician) → Ninja (British rapper) – Ninja (musician) is far more likely to be in reference to Watkin Tudor Jones, who uses the name Ninja legally and privately as well as onstage. His bio is currently viewed about 40 times more often on average than this one: 45,000 a month for him vs. 1,200 for this bio. I propose moving this biography to Ninja (British rapper) and moving the Jones bio to Ninja (rapper), with the current Ninja (musician) redirecting to the disambiguation page Ninja (disambiguation). Comments welcome. Jokestress (talk) 09:27, 13 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Support this move per nom, but not necessariliy the move of the other Ninja away from his name.  Dicklyon (talk) 06:32, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
