Ninjitsu did not come into being a specific, well-defined art in the first place, and many centuries passed before Ninjitsu was established as an independent system of knowledge in its own right. The Ninja, at the beginning did not use that label for themselves, they were merely practitioners of strategies that were cultural opposites of the conventional outlooks of the ruling Japanese Samurai class. Their highly illegal counter culture went underground and it was for this reason alone that the art was shrouded by centuries of mystery and deliberate confusion in Japanese history.

In AD637, En no Gyoja, a warrior monk, set up his Shugendo Dojo in the Togakure mountains. This following carried on for a further 500 years. Diasuke Nishina was born into this sect in 1165. In 1181 Heike Troops crushed the Shugendo Warriors and Diasuke Nishina was forced to flee south to Iga Province. Here he met a mystic warrior priest - Kain Doshi. He studied this mysticism and adapted it to his own Shugendo learning. As a commemorate of his rebirth, he changed his name to Diasuke Togakure and with this the birth of the Togakure Ninjitsu Ryu.

What was once condemned as an underground assassins technique, is today more recognised as a positive and powerful way of life in which harmony with nature, a working knowledge of universal laws and intuitive realisation of where the future is headed and learned through the experience of the Warrior Ways.
