Origin
Shinobi Saramanda is based on the mythical creature, the Salamander. Before more information was revealed, it was speculated that Shinobi Saramanda would be the second Beyblade based on a salamander, after Thermal Lacerta WA130HF. Although it is, it is truly based on the mythical salamander, instead of the norm. The mythical Salamander were amphibians (as are the norm) that of which, were very much in appearance to normal salamanders, yet being associated with fire. With this, they were known as "fire elementals". As such, the Beyblade itself pays homage to the salamander with its Stone Face motif and somewhat to its Chrome Wheel. The Saramanda Chrome Wheel features various scales on it, yet salamanders, both real and mythical, do not have scales.

Name origin
Shinobi (忍び) is another name for a ninja. Shinobi's were agents or rather, mercenaries from feudal Japan which used warfare, not of the norm. Such as espionage, sabotage, infiltration, and assassination. Their ways of combat were opposite of the samurai, who were strict of honor and combat. This can be seen as a "rivalry" of some sort between the Bey's owners; Zero Kurogane (Samurai Ifraid) and Shinobu Hiryūin (Shinobi Saramanda), and possibly the Beys themselves.
