In fact one can find in the books that some well-known samurais have ninja backgrounds, the best example is Hanzo Hattori (服部半蔵), a samurai serving Tokugawa Ieyasu (徳川家康) in the Edo period. He was a ninja from the Iga clan. Please show me any reference in a history book to this particular statement. I have heard it before, but no one can place a reference to it. They actually have this written at the Ninja museum in Japan, but they had no references there either.

Never use Wikipedia as a reference. Please be aware that anyone can place whatever they wish in Wikipedia, whether it is accurate or not.
