S. Ward Smith is the metal shop teacher at Norrisville High and the swordsmith that crafts the Ninja's swords. His apprentice is Brent.
Appearance[]
S. Ward Smith hunches over, and he has dark brown hair. He is blind, so he wears sunglasses, and he has a few golden teeth. He wears a gray tank top, an apron, teal pants, brown boots, and brown gloves. His lower right arm is bandaged.
Personality[]
Usually Mr. Smith takes no nonsense whatsoever and never seems to crack under pressure. He feels like he's too old to be a metal shop teacher, but he still dedicates his life to crafting swords for future Norrisville Ninjas.

Trivia[]
- Mr. Smith's name, as pointed out by Randy, is an obvious pun on "sword smith".
- He is blind, and only could tell Randy was the Ninja because he smelled like Smoke Bombs (they do stink like farts, after all).
- He is so far the third person to know about Randy's secret identity as the Ninja, the first one being the Creep and the second one Howard Weinerman. However, unlike Howard and the Creep, Mr. Smith technically doesn't know what Randy looks like.
- He was mentioned in "Monster Drill", with Principal Slimovitz giving his metal shop class credit for building the practice monster (actually a Robo-Mantis), though Randy points out that his class couldn't even build a birdhouse.
- He is shown in the opening theme speaking to Mr. Bannister.
- It is unknown if he worked with the previous Ninjas.
- He has an odd habit of calling Randy bizarre epithets such as "bloofus."
- Both actors who played him both worked on the Adult Swim series The Boondocks.
- He bears a slight resemblance to Oscar and Bobby Proud from the Proud Family.
- He is currently one of the characters in the series to be physically impaired in some form, the other being McFist.
- He is one of the few characters with speaking roles to have not been stanked in the series so far.
