An Izuna Drop is a move used in many videogames mostly used by Ninjas. This move consists of either both fighters being in the air on one fighter knocking the other up into the air. After that the one fighter grabs onto the other and continue to drop head first (Both fighters are going down head first) while spinning. The move ends with the fighter on the receiving end getting major head injuries and the giver to get away unharmed even though he/she was also going down head first.

History

The Izuna Drop's origin began in the 1969 manga called Ninpu Kamui Gaiden OP (The Legend of Kamui). Kamui learned this move from watching weasels leap from trees and attack birds. Many fictional ninja and/or video game characters use Kamui's move to this day, such as Vega (Street Fighter), Ryu Hayabusa (Dead or Alive / Ninja Gaiden), and Kage-Maru (Virtua Fighter).
