Boo stands guard. (CHIEKO HARA/ THE ASAHI SHIMBUN)

KYOTO--He isn't particularly nimble, hardly stealthy and not big enough to inspire fear in anything much larger than a rodent, yet Boo the Ninja Dog is the talk of the town in this ancient city.
Tourists from far and wide report encounters with this 9-year-old Pekinese clad in full ninja regalia including a sword strapped across his back.
Boo first donned his ninja togs in 2008 for the Oharame Jidai Gyoretsu, an annual period costume parade.
