British slang used humorously for a red-haired person, playing on the rhyme between 'ginger' (British term for a redhead) and 'ninja'. The compound implies unexpected agility or speed, though it is primarily a light-hearted nickname. The tone is generally playful rather than cutting, though reception depends on context.
The ginger ninja on the opposing team was everywhere at once — you couldn't keep track of him.
