The perk affects the critical chance and sneak attack damage of both Melee Weapons and Unarmed despite only requiring 80 Melee Weapons in addition to 80 Sneak.

PCPC Playstation 3Playstation 3Playstation 3 Xbox 360Xbox 360 Ninja increases critical chance by 15 percent; in other words, it multiplies the character's critical chance by 1.15, unlike all other perks/traits that modify critical chance by adding percentage points, meaning that Ninja does not add .15 to the critical chance. For example, a character with a critical hit chance of even 25% would have it be increased to only 28.5% rather than to 40% as it should. (25% * 1.15 = 28.75% vs 25% + 15% = 40%) [verified]
