Agari Kaisen
CharacterAgari Kaisen leads the Kedōin Clan and counts Tsunade among his old friends. A cheerful showman skilled in the clan's face-copying art, he once staged an elaborate fake mission to test a trio of young Leaf genin on Tsunade's behalf.
Appearance
Agari Kaisen wears his sleek black hair down to the shoulders, sets almond-shaped grey eyes beneath it, and grooms a very fine moustache.
Personality
Brimming with good cheer, he is a gifted performer who slips easily into a role, though Tsunade would be quick to point out that he is far from without faults.
History
His clan's specialty, the Face Copying Technique, is a refined form of transformation that lets its users take on another person's exact likeness. He put it to work during the Buried Gold Excavation Mission, which Tsunade handed to Naruto Uzumaki together with Kiba Inuzuka and Hinata Hyūga, warning that failing to recover a treasure chest for him would see them sent back to the Academy. Three of his clansmen copied the young ninja's forms and seized them, after which Agari announced he was off to crush the Hidden Leaf. The genin broke free, tracked him down, and beat him and his followers, only to learn the whole affair had been a staged final test. Satisfied, he let Tsunade pass the three, then handed her a bill on his way home.
