AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR

NAME GENERATOR
By Jump Bange, the Kraken Ninja

To scale Mount Midoriyama, you need strength, agility,

training, dedication, mental toughness, and a name that is
probably extreme white Christian nonsense.

In this name generator, I use “roll” to mean “generate a

random number.” Use random.org or something similar.
