Upon reminding myself of actual Japanese grammer, I find it's pretty innocent.

It's actually a standard Japanese expression. Japanese uses several different suffixes to add to numbers when counting numbers of things, to indicate what's being counted. 人 ('nin') is the counter-suffix for 'people'.

So in 'normal' Japanese it would be written 五人, 'go-nin', '5-people'.

But, well, UF, so ninja!
