=Influences=
Though not directly influenced by it, Ninja Burger s concept is similar to a Saturday Night Live sketch from the late 1970 s by John Belushi entitled Samurai Deli. In this skit, Belushi played a samurai working in a New York City deli who would commit seppuku if customers were unhappy with his sandwiches (which he prepared using his katana). Other possible influences include Snow Crash , which features a ninja-like pizza deliveryman named Hiro Protagonist and A Fistful of Yen , a short parody of Enter the Dragon from Kentucky Fried Movie .
=Day of the Ninja=
In 2003, the creators of Ninja Burger declared that December 5 would be celebrated as Day of the Ninja. On this day, people are encouraged to dress as ninja, engage in ninja-related activities, and spread information on ninja online. The holiday was created in part as a response to that day marking the release of Tom Cruise s film The Last Samurai (which featured a scene where samurai battled ninja), but mostly as a retaliation for International Talk Like a Pirate Day, as fans of ninjas and fans of pirates hold a fierce and unexplainable online rivalry. Naturally, the day is not called International Talk Like a Ninja Day as silent and stealthy ninja are not known having a distinct way of speaking, much less speaking at all.
