Sheik should be on the list, and for the record, even though he didn't have massive, bouncing, yet strangely tube-sock like ****, Eiji Kiseragi was a much more aggressive, fun to play as, and deadly Ninja than mai shiranui ever was, especially in his original art of fighting 2 appearance. He has the single most painful looking/sounding throw of any character in any fighting game I've ever played and every single move he connects with just looks and sounds incredibly painful.

Kurenai's very existance on that list, regardles of being in the ten spot, really drills a hole in the temple. Aside from the game sucking in the first place, I really wouldn't call her or her game one of those one-hit wonders that could make a place among gaming history with a single game (i.e. Okami).
Ryu Hayabusa, Gray Fox, and Shinobi are givens, but as many others here are saying, so should Scorpion.
If you mean the Namco character, I really wouln't consider him a ninja.
As for Sheik, he/she/it only ever really did anything badass in Smash Bros. Not saying it means it doesn't count, but...

Sheik never did anything in the games except teach you music, give you magic arrows, and get captured by Ganondorf 7 seconds after she revealed her true identity...Why does she deserve to be on the list of the ten best ninjas in gaming? Other than blatant fanboyism I mean.
I'm not gonna disagree with that. Sheik may have more of a ninja look, but like you said, she was little more than a mysteriously convenient ally in the game she appeared in.
