Though Snake Eyes became a ninja later, Quick Kick was really the first GI JOE ninja figure. He has the backstory of being a Hollywood stuntman who decided to become a member of GI JOE. So maybe he wasn't officially a ninja, but he had throwing stars and did martial arts stuff, so whatever.
He was introduced in the first full season of the Sunbow series. Despite that he wasn't wearing a shirt and barefoot, a couple of Joes find him in the arctic because he was shooting a movie there or something. Makes sense! He appeared in some episodes, including a spotlight one where he and a girl who wanted to be part of GI JOE fell in love--until she was thought to be a spy and then he had to hunt her down. After that season he kind of dropped out and got replaced by other ninja guys like Storm Shadow and Nunchuck and whatnot.

I'm sure he appeared in some of the comics too a few times. But after that he didn't really do much.

pretty sure i remember in the marvel comics Quick Kick was one of the first Joes killed when they decided it was ok to start killing the characters off. Him, Doc, I think Breaker and Stalker maybe too...
