Sharpen your shuriken, Japan's Aichi prefecture is looking to hire six ninjas in a bid to boost tourism.

The roles are full time and the pay is ¥180,000 ($1,600; £1,100) a month, the job ad says (in Japanese).

Physical fitness and acrobatic skills are a must says Aichi prefecture, which hopes to promote "warlord tourism".

Ninjas were 15th Century Japanese mercenaries specialising in espionage, assassination, sabotage and other forms of irregular warfare.

Such trickery was considered beneath the samurai, or military nobility, who had to observe strict rules on fighting honourably.

This would be perfect for TJ....

She has perfected the art of secretly appearing somewhere, doing various forms of damage, and slipping away into the unknown without a trace and/or never returning.
