Quotes 

• Akira : [holding a knife to Limehouse's neck]  Stay away from the Saito family. They don't know anything about the Van Atta neckalace. If you don't, I promise you, you will pray for death.

• Aiko : They were watching the black ninja again.

  Akira : Why do you watch it boys, when your mother tells you not to?

• Kaga : Akira, I want you to have this.

  Akira : No! When I leave Japan, I will put my shadows behind me!

  Kaga : You cannot escape your shadows, my son. You will always be a ninja!

• Lt. Anderson : [discussing the massacre]  There's something else that's even more puzzling. There's a rumour that the assassin was wearing a black oriental costume with a helmet and a sword. Do you believe that? Some mention that it could have been a, uh, ninja. Mr Saito, you're from Japan. Do ninjas still exists?

  Akira : Ninjas? No, of course not.

  Takeshi Saito : Dad, he must be watching too many ninja movies.

  Lt. Anderson : That's what I thought. Well, goodbye Mr Saito. I wish you and your family every success over here.

  Lt. Anderson : Oh, uh, just one more thing. If you run across that ninja, tell him that the police department don't want to see him in this area again. Okay?
