Synopsis

Ninja-kun Ashura no Shou is an action game developed by UPL and produced for arcades in 1987. It is the spiritual successor to UPL's original Ninjakun. It was released around the world with the title Ninja-Kid II, and in the United States with the title Rad Action.

Ashura no Shou expands on the core gameplay featured in Ninjakun, introducing new exploration concepts and challenging the player to complete 31 action stages, with branching levels, larger enemies and boss battles. The game was ported to MSX and published by HAL Laboratory. It was also ported to the Famicom in 1988. A US release for the NES was planned under the name Ninja Taro, but ultimately cancelled. The Famicom port was released on the Wii Virtual Console in Japan in 2009.
