Lee Reyes plays Hiro, Master Tetsu's grandnephew, who is the last of the true ninja.

In order to meet the American Ninja, Lisa "varnishes" his boat when in fact she was asked to "tarnish" it.

It is revealed that Lisa is the daughter of a scientist, under the employ of Glock, who is being forced to develop a nerve gas for a Latin American despot.

'Viper' is defeated in a climactic airplane battle scene, and Joe returns to South Florida to kiss Lisa on the bow of his boat.
