Trivia:

Not as successful or well-received in Japan as it was in the U.S.

The concept of Ninja Scroll arose from the director's fascination with ninjas and the idea of them always trying to trick each other.

Wendee Lee & Emi Shinohara both voice Kagero for the Japanese & English version respectively. They also both voiced Charlotte in Yoshiaki Kawajiri's other film: "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust".

Kagero wears the exact same purple headdress costume that Yuji wore in the film "Lady Snowblood".

In 1995, the BBFC cut the UK version by 52 seconds. This included the rape of Kagero by Tessai and all footage of throwing stars. The UK and Australian DVDs were affected by these cuts. In 2004 these cuts were waived by the BBFC and the film is now uncut.

Dakuan has a very striking resemblance to Nicotine Caffeine from the Samurai Shodown series.
