[Ninjas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tradeitgg) are totally cool but from what I’ve seen they aren’t too technologically savvy. Until now that is. These Ninja USBs mean business. They provide protection in the form of a [deadly shuriken](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yin-mo-star-kui) (ninja star) or kunai (the non ninja star one). As a bonus your tools of protection and justice can hold 2 GB of memory. I have no shame in certain situations so these Ninja USBs are perfect for me and my geeky exploits. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Ninja-inspired Gadgets:** Opportunity to create more gadgets inspired by the ninja theme. - **Concealed Storage Devices:** Opportunity to create more storage devices that can be disguised as everyday items. - **Combination of Utility and Functionality:** Opportunity to create more items that combine both a functional use and an aesthetically pleasing design. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunities to develop and market more unique and unconventional gadgets, especially to appeal to tech-savvy consumers. - **Fashion and Accessories:** Opportunities to produce more fashion accessories inspired by popular culture themes, in order to appeal to a niche market. - **Corporate Gifts:** Opportunity to create more unique and offbeat corporate gifts as a way to differentiate from the competition. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Data-Protecting USB Keys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nukii.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Storage Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-trek-discovery-flash-drives.md) - [Object-Resembling USB Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandisk-1.md) - [Miniature EDC Sword Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-katana.md) - [Icon-Shaped USB Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folderdrive.md) - [Ruggedly Encrypted USB Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/encrypted-usb-drive.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Hard Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firecuda-external-hard-drives.md) - [Ninja-Inspired Curated Snack Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curated-snack-boxes.md) - [Wearable Backpack-Style Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninja-frostvault-go.md)
