From the release

True ninjas belong to a dojo. The dojo gives the ninja a place to congregate, meet other ninjas, learn more about their skills or weapons, and talk about things only other ninjas would understand.

Today, Microsoft launches the Tenchu Z official website that allows gamers to explore the world they will encounter and the ninja skills they will utilize in the newest game of the long-running stealth-action franchise. The site, which can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/xbox/tenchuz/ allows gamers to learn more about the game, from the storyline to the unique, and sometimes lethal, ninja skills that will let gamers complete a variety of missions which take place in feudal Japan. Gamers can also learn about some of the more colorful citizens they will encounter and fight in Tenchu Z.

Visitors to the site can also build their own dojo using the special ninja tools found only in the Tenchu Z Ninja Fan Site Kit, which is now available for download. There's concept art, forum avatars, renders, and other Web-ready artwork, plus some secret stuff for ninjas only.

The fan site kit can be found on the official Tenchu Z Web site at www.tenchu-z.com in the Downloads section. Fan site webmasters are also encouraged to register their dojo for official inclusion on the Tenchu Z site. Please feel free to download and redistribute the fan site kit on your own site for your readers.
