Ninjas don't even use katanas. I weep for geekdom.
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Yeah, I kind of got that whole katana debate going. My apologies. The katana's more of a samurai weapon, particularly when paired with the wakizashi. So really, Hiro Protagonit would just own the whole lot of 'em.

Kathy Astrom:
How much smarm could a marmot snark if a marmot could snark smarm?
While three is a good answer, it does not take into consideration the quality of the snark, and the tenacity of the smarm. There are also directional, language and timing issues (d+lxt= amount of snark smarmed [ASS]) to be answered before the ASS can be precisely determined.
