Kamakiri Ikeno
CharacterKamakiri Ikeno is a shinobi of Kirigakure who reaches the closing rounds of the Chunin Exams shown in an OVA. Wielding a pair of twisted kama, the white-haired ninja leaves behind only a slim record, his exam matchup and its outcome never disclosed.
Appearance

Abilities
Details of his fighting are scarce. What the record confirms is that he battles with a pair of kama sized much like ordinary kunai, though bent into a more twisted form.
