Every Senran Kagura adds students from a new ninja academy. Senran Kagura: New Wave has at least three more kunoichi clans like the idol group Milky Pop.

Mai, Yugiri, Tamaki, Kagari, and Josui are the members of Milky Pop. Instead of a sword, Mai fights with a… microphone stand and Kagari uses knives that look like tambourines.

The Saki art school has band ninjas. Kosuzu, Aria, Kanon, Fuga, and Chiyo are part of this clan. All of them have musical instruments like Fuga’s magical fire shooting shamisen and Aria’s oversized cymbals that crush enemies to death.

The women from Maiougi Academy are dancers and all of them have international ties. Tsubame’s father is Russian, Mei Mei is an exchange student from China, Matsuri doesn’t speak Japanese she traveled to Japan to follow in her grandmother’s footsteps, Yoshimitsu is half-American, and Ageha’s mom is from Spain.
