Sensei

Sensei, formerly known as ??????, before the Card-Jitsu game and Dojo Courtyard were released), is a penguin that first appeared digging out the Dojo when it was severely damaged by lightning, claiming to have returned from "a long journey". He used to be seen at the Dojo Exterior, but now he can be found inside the Dojo, sitting on the cushion next to the variable-color pot. He wears the color gray, which is not currently available to players. Sensei appears to be a very old Penguin. He has a small white beard, thick white eyebrows, and a traditional Chinese conical straw hat.

He later revealed he would launch a card game for training Ninjas, known as "Card Jitsu". His name was revealed to be "Sensei" the Japanese word for 'teacher', implying he is the ninja trainer. Apparently, he said that he came from far away to return, which means he has been to Club Penguin before. He presently is handing out Starter Packs in the Dojo to players training to become Ninjas. He also awards penguins colored belts for their progress in Card Jitsu. Once players get a black belt, Sensei can be challenged and if one wins, they become a true Ninja. Sensei will always win, unless you are a black belt.

On July 3 to July 5, Ninjas were able to meet Sensei at the Ninja Hideout, and teach them a new trick (a cloud maker). The award for finding him is an autographed background. He was also seen during Sensei's Scavenger Hunt, teaching ninjas about the upcoming event. He also visited the Fire Dojo and Ninja Hideout on Friday November 20 2009. On the 16th November 2010, Sensei visited Club Penguin when it was the Water Celebration. He had a completely new Player card and he was wearing his Water Suit. The rooms he could be spotted in were: Dojo Courtyard, Dojo, Ninja Hideout and The Water Dojo.

Interview
In the Penguin Times Issue #163, the Club Penguin Times interviewed Sensei and he revealed things about Ninjas and himself.

Sensei and Rockhopper
Rockhopper could be a possible relative of Sensei, seeing as they both are the only penguins to sport beards and bushy eyebrows. They both seem to have a knack for exploring and telling stories to penguins while visiting. Also, when asked about Sensei, Rockhopper replied "I have heard of the great Sensei, he be a great Card Jitsu master. I do remember him from me past though."

Sensei's Favorite Games

 * Chat-Jitsu: I will name an element, and you have to answer with what beats it, as fast as you can! (Sensei often tricks people, by naming random things like marshmallows)
 * Hit-a-Gong!: I will name a creature, and you have to hit the gong with the named creature on it! (Sensei often tricks people by naming creatures like seahorses and sea llamas)
 * I spy...: I will name the color of something and you have to name it!
 * Ninja run!: Sensei gets penguins to run left & right in the Ninja Hideout.
 * The Fire Game: While in the Fire Dojo, Sensei will shout 'FIRE!' and ninjas must run to something with fire on it.

Haikus
During his visits, the Sensei talked to penguins in haikus.

Sensei's Card-Jitsu Card Haiku 

The wisest penguin,

Knows that every journey begins,

With a single step.

The Cookie Haiku

Like the great cookie,

We must have honor and strength,

And chocolate chips.

To write a haiku.

You just need to write three lines.

Of 5,7,5.

The "Orange" Sky

The sky is orange...

As orange as orange...

Or a tangerine.

The Black Puffle

Like the Black Puffle.

Sometimes we don't like to smile.

But skateboard instead.

The Wisdom Haiku

To find true wisdom.

You must train hard and focus

And don't skip breakfast.

The Epic Awesome Haiku

This is a Haiku.

An epic awesome Haiku.

This Haiku is done.

Scavenger Hunt

Fires must be round.

Search all across the island.

Be very careful.

The Greatest Ninja

The greatest Ninja,

Never gives up a battle

Or a cup of tea.

Wisdom

It is quite easy

To sound like you have wisdom

When talking haiku
