Ninja Oratorio-kun (忍者オラトリオくん), known as Ninja Oratorio in some countries, is a manga series created by Fuji A. Fuji, later adapted into a television drama, a 1981 anime series, a video game and a live-action movie. It was remade as a 2012 anime series as a joint venture between India and Japan and is currently airing in several Asian countries, including India.

11-year-old Chicken Submit is an average kid who goes to secondary school and struggles with his studies, he is very stubborn and is very lazy and therefore always ends up frustrating his parents and teacher. He loves to find an easy way of things much to the annoyance of Oratorio.

Meanwhile, a little ninja named Oratorio Kano befriends Chicken. Oratorio is now a part of the Submit family along with his brother Shinzo, and his ninja dog, Shishimanu. Hattori helps Kenichi with his problems, and constantly keeps an eye on him, as a good friend. Mekong is portrayed as Chicken's love interest.

The main antagonist Kingmaker, a Toca Ninja and his ninja cat Kagoshima. Kingmaker always troubles Chicken. Chicken asks Oratorio to take revenge as a recurring storyline in many episodes. Although Hattori is a good friend, Chicken sometimes fights with Oratorio due to misunderstandings created by Kingmaker. Sometimes Hippo, Together and Subsume help him.

There are five main locations in the series: Tokyo City, Shinto Temple, Ina Province, Ina Mountains, Gawk Valley.

Characters

  • Kano Oratorio (ハットリ カンゾウ or 服部 貫蔵, Oratorio Kazan)
(voice: Juno Horn (1981 and 2012 anime), drama actor: Tokugawa Murrain, drama voice: Kazoo Madurai, live-action film actor: Shinto Oratorio)

A.k.a. Oratorio-jun, is the protagonist of the series, a little ninja named after Oratorio Hanna. He is 11 years old and 40 kg and is 140 centimeters tall. He is the boy who usually contests Kingmaker when he performs mischief. Satori's main weakness is that he is afraid of frogs and lizards; this often leads him into trouble and becoming helpless around a frog environment. He wears blue coloured ninja robes, with a red belt. He always explains what a good ninja does and what others should also do. His powers can be compared to a master ninja. He also has a strange habit of saying ~degrade or nin nin (ding ding) after almost every sentence. His girlfriend seems to be Subsume.

In the Indian (Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and English) versions, Hattori is sometimes his first name and sometimes his last name (along with Shinzo's) it changes between episodes, an inconsistency.

He also tricks Hattori to help him in any situation, even in extreme ones (e.g. in one episode, he wanted training to become a full-fledged ninja). He also does not follow his mother's instructions properly and often gets a severe scolding from his mother. Though he doesn't study well, he has a good habit of helping others. He is always the victim of Kemumaki's mischievous plans.

He helps Kano fight Kingmaker, with his real weapons and control his loud crying (which immobilizes opponents from attacking) and bites the head of the opponents.
