Kashike
CharacterOnce training to become a ninja in Sunagakure, Kashike spends his boyhood kicking a football around the streets with a tight-knit group of friends. An early, painful run-in with Gaara's runaway power leaves him skittish for good and wary of the young jinchuriki.
Appearance
A white tank-top-style shirt is Kashike's usual garb. His dark, unruly hair is long, pulled back into a ponytail, and his eyes are small and black.
Personality
Devoted to his companions, Kashike is a jittery soul, having stayed that way ever since Gaara hurt him that one time, and little fails to rattle him. The anime adds a nastier layer, casting him as something of a bully who pelts Shira with stones over the boy's lack of ninja talent.

History
Alongside Abiru, Tsuchino, and Tomari, Kashike whiles away his days kicking a ball around Sunagakure. Trying to join their game, Gaara hurts the group by accident, then comes to Kashike with ointment as a peace offering, only for Kashike to reject it and call him a freak; the dread born that day never truly fades. The anime also shows him and three companions driving Shira away, since the boy's weakness in ninjutsu and genjutsu keeps him out of the Academy.
