There is a an Apprentice Shinobi on the table and Genmyo has used his ability to turn himself into a Ninja. Does this count as a Ninja action for the Apprentice Shinobi's trait (+1F for each Ninja action performed)?

Genmyo's action is not a Ninja action, because when the action is announced, Genmyo does not have the Ninja keyword, so his ability is not a Ninja ability.
