Eh, the choice of "Hand" for the name of an organized crime/ninja clan actually has sort of a basis; hand/five fingers/five islands of Japan. That kind of thing. It has a lot more behind it than "Red Ninja" does.

Yes, Irid is correct, there's even a spiffy quote from the Hand's founder on the Wiki page that further elaborates it.
Five fingers can function independent [which is mostly true aside from the ring and pink sharing tendons or something], but put them together and like Captain Planet, you get a kickass fighting force. |

Yep. The word Yakuza (Japanese mafia) stems from the word for a losing hand in a game of cards back a few hundred years.

Upon further analysis, the word "Hasbro" taken through some Japanese language disection is proven to mean "Wax doll of failure"

Zefram: Even if you fold your hand up into a fist, lay it so that your first digit knuckles are flat on a level surface and leave your ring finger sticking out? Because that's no supposed to happen. In fact, if you fold your hand into a fist, you shouldn't be able to stick your ring finger out past roughly 90 degrees from the back of your hand.

And if you turn the old Hasbro logo over and squint at it, it looks like a hand with no thumb. Which when you think about it, is about as useless as some of their repaint ideas. My God, Kai, you've broken the "DaCrapToy" Code!
