'''Sensei''', formerly known as '''??????'''  (before the [[Card-Jitsu]] game and [[Dojo Courtyard]] were released), is a [[penguin]] that first appeared when the [[Dojo]] got 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-colour pot. He has the [[color]] Gray, which is not currently available to players and appears to be a very old [[Penguin]]. He has a small white beard (he is possibly related to [[Rockhopper]]), thick white eyebrows, and a traditional Chinese conical straw hat. He was seen digging out the [[Dojo]] as [[??????]].

He later revealed he would launch a card game for training [[Ninjas]], known as "[[Card Jitsu]]". His name was revealed to be "Sensei" or the Japanese word for 'teacher', implying he is the ninja trainer. Apparently, he said that came over from far away to return, which means he has been to [[Club Penguin]] before. He presently is handing out [[Starter Pack]]s in the [[Dojo]] to players training to become [[ninja]]s. He also awards penguins colored belts for their progress in [[Card Jitsu]]. Also, once players get a black belt, Sensei can be challenged and if one wins, they become a true [[Ninja]]. Sensei will always pick the opposite card of what you pick, 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 the [[Sensei's Scavenger Hunt]], teaching ninjas about the upcoming event. He also visited the [[Fire Dojo]] and [[Ninja Hideout]] on Friday 20 November 2009.

==Interview==
In the [[Penguin Times]] Issue #163, the [[Club Penguin Times]] interviewed Sensei and he revealed things about [[Ninja]]s and himself.

==A Possible Relative==
[[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." This has not yet been proven.

==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)
*I spy...: I will name the colour 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.


'''How to write a haiku'''

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

==Interview with the Sensei==
In an exclusive interview with the Sensei on September 16, 2009 about the orange sky and the machine in the [[Ninja Hideout]], Sensei said, ''"We will use the fire to awaken the mountain"''. He also said, ''"always look to the mountains."''

==Sensei's knowledge of other Famous Penguins==
Sensei has 3 explanations about his knowledge of Rockhopper. It is unknown why he knows '''''and''''' doesn't know him:
*Rockhopper: Rockhopper, you say? He is a most wonderous pirate, as well as wise.
*Rockhopper: Rockhopper? I do not know this lad. Does he know me?
*Rockhopper: Rockhopper. Silly Penguin. Much to learn in the ways of ninja.
*Gary: Gary? I do not know much about him... I hear he is a famous scientist.
*Aunt Arctic: Aunt Arctic writes in the paper, doesn't she. Listen to her words.

==Trivia==
[[File:Sensei on the wall.jpg|thumb|Sensei on the wall.]]
*"Sensei" means teacher in Japanese.
[[File:Sensei'scard.png|thumb|Sensei's Invitation to every Single Penguin.]]
*His greeting is "Greetings, grasshoppers!" & "Hello & Good Day."

==Myths and Rumours==
*Some [[Penguins]] say they saw Sensei go up the wall. This has been confirmed.
*Many penguins think that ninjas will be able to walk on walls soon because Sensei can. This has not yet been confirmed.
*When Card-Jitsu Water opens, Sensei MAY appear in his Water Coat if there is going to be one.
*Sensei could possibly be related to [[Rockhopper]], seeing as he has so much in common with him. But when asked, [[Rockhopper]] said "Sensei? Who's Sensei?". This probably means that they are not related or Club Penguin doesn't want to reveal it.
*Sensei could have been the first [[penguin]] to discover the [[Club Penguin Island]].
*Sensei is not a secret agent because it is just a card that he has like a non agent penguin can get that card at the store.
*He has a card that looks different then the other cards. This card is a fire ninja sitting down like in real Club Penguin.
