Перевод: Basic Star Shuriken
Fundamental star-shuriken throwing technique using a horizontal spinning release, effective for distraction and surface-cutting at range.
The standard hira-shuriken technique employs a horizontal or overhand throw that sends the flat, multi-pointed blade spinning toward the target. [1] Unlike bo-shuriken, hira-shuriken are thrown with deliberate rotation — the spinning motion ensures that one of the points will strike the target regardless of distance, eliminating the need for precise distance calibration. [2] This ease of use made hira-shuriken accessible to less trained practitioners, but at the cost of reduced penetration compared to the direct-throw bo-shuriken method. [3] The throwing method is preserved in schools such as Togakure-ryu, which includes hira-shuriken (senban shuriken) as part of its ninjutsu curriculum. [1]
The standard hira-shuriken throwing technique uses a sidearm or overarm release, with the flat shape allowing point-first impact at various distances. [1]
Hira-shuriken techniques were transmitted within koryū schools alongside bō-shuriken and other throwing weapons. [1]
Standard hira-shuriken throwing is demonstrated at koryū events and Japanese budo demonstrations. [1]

The standard hira-shuriken throw requires precise grip, arm mechanics, and release timing to achieve consistent target penetration. SkilLeo's detailed pedagogical account demonstrates two primary grip variations: the trigger grip, which mimics finger-trigger positioning but sacrifices aiming accuracy, and the pinch grip, wherein the thrower holds one point between thumb and index finger while aligning another point to the thumb. Regardless of grip selection, proper form involves raising the shuriken to ear level before executing a straight forward motion analogous to pointing. Critical to success is the shuriken's forward rotation during flight; insufficient rotation causes the point to strike at oblique angles, resulting in deflection rather than penetration. SkilLeo emphasizes release timing as essential to consistent accuracy and notes that straight-line throwing motion with maintained momentum improves penetration probability. The technique demands substantial practice for proficiency; SkilLeo documents progression from stationary wooden targets at 10 feet to moving targets (apples) at 15 feet. While Houzan01Shuriken and HouzanSuzuki videos were provided, their transcripts lack substantive instructional content beyond title references. SkilLeo's account remains the primary detailed source for standard hira-shuriken mechanics and progressive skill development.

According to SkilLeo, a common issue is the angle of approach—the best way to penetrate a target with a sharpened object is going straight rather than at an angle, so ensure your throw is perpendicular to the target surface.
