The Shuriken is a throwing star weapon. Several varieties exist with different strengths, including a Cross Shuriken, Fire Shuriken (also known as a Flame Star), and the Yagyu Shuriken (also known as a Buffalo Star).
Shurikens were originally intended to be the primary weapon of the unused character Yoko Felnades in Castlevania: Bloodlines. They would change size and shape as they leveled up, up to two times. It would also be possible to throw them straight down when hanging from the ceiling.
Shurikens would make their first actual appearance in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, where they are thrown straight ahead. In Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin and Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, shurikens are thrown downward slightly, as if they were thrown at an enemy's feet.
The Throwing Star (月氏手裏剣 (げっししゅりけん) Gesshi Shuriken?, lit. "Getsu Clan Shuriken") is a sub-weapon used by Getsu Fuma in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. He also uses Shuriken as his special attack in Konami Wai Wai World, which can also break certain blocks like his sword.
