Kosuke
CharacterKosuke is an Anbu hunter-nin of Kirigakure who meets his end during the Third Shinobi World War. He falls among the first to be cut down when a grief-stricken Obito Uchiha turns on the ninja pursuing Rin Nohara.
Appearance
Kosuke goes into the field wearing Kirigakure's flak jacket paired with a hunter-nin mask, its lower edge decorated by a dark diamond pattern. His black hair is bound into a ponytail, and he keeps a sword slung across his left shoulder.
Personality
A shinobi of the village nicknamed the Bloody Mist, Kosuke is defined chiefly by loyalty. He stands ready to see through any mission his village hands him, whatever it demands.
History
During the Third Shinobi World War, Kosuke rides with a team of hunter-nin sent to track down Rin Nohara. The mission ends in slaughter, though not by his hand. After Kakashi Hatake kills Rin, Obito Uchiha, who has just witnessed the death of the girl he loved, erupts in anguished rage and tears through the pursuing ninja. Kosuke is among the very first to die in that massacre. As an Anbu operative he was presumably a highly capable fighter, and the sword he carried marks him as a practitioner of kenjutsu.
