Shōnen Kininden Tsumuji ( Japanese: 少年鬼忍伝ツムジ, Hepburn: Shounen Kininden Tsumuji, lit. Boy's Demon Ninja Chronicle Tsumuji) is a 2010 action-adventure video game developed by Neuron Age and published by Electronic Arts in Japan.

Shōnen Kininden Tsumuji is an action-adventure game in which players take the role of a ninja in training named Tsumuji, ^{[1] [2]} who lives in the mountains with his family. When they have been attacked; Tsumuji tries to find out why. ^[3] Players move Tsumuji by using the Nintendo DS system's stylus. ^[2] The game also involves stylus-based combat, ^[1] in which players draw a path for Tsumuji's shuriken. ^[2] Players are also able to avoid combat. Some sequences require players to sneak under floorboards, to try to gather information while trying to avoid revealing their presence. ^[1]

The sneaking mechanic comes from Japanese history; according to the game's producer, it is inspired by how ninjas used to sneak underneath houses and eavesdrop on people to gather information. ^[1]

The game was released in Japan on February 25, 2010, by Electronic Arts. ^[4]

Japanese video game magazine Famitsu gave the game a score of 27/40 in a cross review by four reviewers. They appreciated the touch controls and user-friendliness, calling it an excellent action game. They also appreciated the design of the character Tsumuji, who they called cute. ^[4]

The game has been compared to the video game series The Legend of Zelda. ^{[2] [4]}
