Main protagonist of the [[shinobi_(game)|SHINOBI]] series of action [[video game]]s by [[SEGA]]. 

He appears in the [[shinobi_(arcade)|Shinobi]] arcade game from 1987 as well as its sequels [[The Super Shinobi]], [[Shadow Dancer]], [[The Super Shinobi II]] and [[Shin Shinobi Den]].

[b]Joe Musashi[/b] is a veteran expert [[ninja]] master. Despite his vast knowledge of the ninja arts, he is quite pragmatic and unorthodox in his approach to combat.

He fights by throwing (an almost) infinite number of [[shuriken]]s or [[kunai]]s, and employs firearms for long range attacks, while using [[martial arts]] moves and [[katana]]s for melee combat.

Joe also uses different types of powerful ninja [[magic]] as well as a deadly white ninja dog called [[shadow_(shadow_dancer)|Shadow]].
