The Transformation Ninja Sword Ninja Ichibantou (変身忍刀 忍者一番刀 Henshin Shinobigatana Ninja Ichibantō, lit. "Ninja Number 1 Sword") is the transformation device, sidearm, and main weapon for the main five Ninningers.
Overview[]
The Ninja Ichibantou is a ninjato-type sword which can be used in conjunction with the Nin Shurikens, allowing the user to either transform into a Ninninger, summon an OtomoNin or perform techniques.
Extra Ninja Ichibantous were given to Tsumuji Igasaki when he became his own Aka Ninger, 
TV STORY-Shinobi 45: Three Generations of Fathers and Sons! All Ninjas Gathered and Luna Kokonoe/Mido Ninger. TV STORY-Come Back! Shuriken Sentai Ninninger: Ninnin Girls vs. Boys FINAL WARS
Out of a total of nine Ninningers, only two do not use the Ninja Ichibantous:
- Star Ninger, who uses the Transformation Device Ninja StarBurger and later the Gekiatsuto as an alternative.
- Yoshitaka Igasaki, who can transform into Aka Ninger through his own will without a Ninja Ichibantou or a Nin Shuriken.

To initiate a transformation, the Ninningers first insert their transformation Nin Shurikens into the guard of their Ninja Ichibantou. They then press the red button above the guard, initiating the standby. By spinning the Nin Shuriken, holograms of their main Nin Shuriken shapes are created, forming the body suit as the Ninja Ichibantou announce the Ninningers being transformed. Once done, another set of Nin Shuriken appear over their faces, forming the helmets and completing the transformation.

Combination[]
By spinning the OtomoNin Shinobimaru Nin Shuriken again after summoning it alongside the Dragomaru, Dumpmaru, Wanmaru, Byunmaru OtomoNins, it allows the user to perform a Shuriken Gattai (シュリケン合体) and combine all 5 OtomoNins together into Shurikenjin.
After forming Shurikenjin, the user can combine other OtomoNins further onto Shurikenjin by spinning the OtomoNin Nin Shuriken of auxiliary OtomoNin once more after summoning them. The user is able to also perform either a King Shuriken Gattai (キングシュリケン合体 Kingu Shuriken Gattai) by using the Gattai Nin Shuriken to form King Shurikenjin or a Ha-Oh Shuriken Gattai (覇王キングシュリケン合体 Haō Shuriken Gattai) by using the Cho Gattai Nin Shuriken to form Ha-Oh Shurikenjin. The Ninningers are also able to alternatively perform a Ha-Oh Gekiatsu Gattai (覇王ゲキアツ合体 Haō Gekiatsu Gattai) with the Cho Gattai Nin Shuriken to form Ha-Oh Gekiatsu Dai-Oh.
