Minami Kikan was mainly composed of the graduates of Nakano School where Fujita Seiko, "The last ninja” taught Kōga-ryū ninjutsu in the early days of the school. Among the Burmese, four men (Ne Win, Yan Naing, Zeya, and Kyaw Zaw) were chosen to specialize in field command, sabotage and guerrilla warfare possibly including the method of ninja.
