Kunoichi is the term for a female ninja or practitioner of ninpo. Unlike fiction, real-life kunoichi were trained differently from male ninja. Their training focused more on disguises, poisons, and using their gender to an advantage. While they were trained in close combat, they were only to make use of this knowledge if they were caught. They would usually disguise themselves as geisha, prostitutes, entertainers, fortune-tellers, and the like to get very close to the enemy. Kunoichi would hide weapons in their disguise, like poisoned needles in their hair, known as shen, as well knives up their sleeves. They also often would turn a previously harmless item into a weapon.
