Coming from a "common, nameless" ninja family, Rantarou is determined to become one of the best, elite ninjas. However, he often fools around with his two best friends Kirimaru and Shinbei and gets into trouble, often angering Doi-sensei and Yamada-sensei.

Rantarou has reddish, short and fluffy hair. He wears round glasses and has freckles on his cheek. In casual dress, he wears a green and light green spotted sleeves and blue-grey hakama.

Rantarou, Shinbei and Kirimaru are ninja apprentices in the Ninja Gakuen, where first grade ones are called "Nintamas" (contraction of the words ninja+tama (egg). They must learn everything a ninja must know, but as for our heroes, money, food or playing are more interesting. The series show the everyday adventures of our heroes, segmentated in a cartoon fashion, like 2 small episodes in a 30-min show. The cast also includes the teachers (Doi-sensei and crossdressing Yamada-sensei), nintama kunoichis, evil guys (Dokutake ninjas) and even family members of all the cast...

Note: Includes 6 extra chapters.

Rantaro, Kirimaru, and Shinbei are far from being excellent ninjas. Training at an elite ninjutsu academy in historical Japan, they are accompanied by their tongue-in-cheek friends, ninja masters, and idol senior ninja trainees. Rantaro and his ninja-in-training pals are called "nintama" — a combination of "ninja" and "tamago" ("egg"). The story of the film begins when Doi-sensei disappears after being challenged to a duel by Moroizumi Sonnamon, a tasogaredoki ninja. While Yamada-sensei and the 6th graders of the Ninjutsu Academy search for Doi-sensei, a man dressed in white suddenly appears at the Academy!
