Ōtsutsuki Clan Patriarch

Born with a pair of Byakugan, the patriarch had them removed in infancy to feed the Tenseigan. In his younger years he wore a white ceremonial kimono streaked with blue and orange along the sleeves, a white sash draped over his right shoulder, and shinobi sandals. His skin was pale, and he kept long auburn hair paired with a moustache and goatee.

He was a dutiful figure, unwavering in his devotion to Hamura. His great age had left him with a deep well of knowledge about the clan's history and its treasures.

As a direct descendant of Hamura born into the main family, he gave up his Byakugan at birth to the Tenseigan in keeping with clan custom. Decades on, the main family and the branch family fell into civil war after the branch twisted Hamura's celestial decree, and the Tenseigan itself struck down the patriarch and the whole main family. Though never fully shown, his gifts included sharing his own past as a vision with anyone he deemed worthy, and sensing the presence of a Byakugan despite his own blindness. Long after his death, Hinata Hyūga discovered him in a catacomb beneath a temple in the Ōtsutsuki's ancient Ninja City, where he poured a vision of the Energy Vessel and Tenseigan into her, overwhelming her into unconsciousness, and warned that the Byakugan Princess had to keep the Tenseigan from awakening. He appeared to her again among the clan's departed, recounting the main family's fall and the rise of Toneri, the lone branch survivor swayed by a warped reading of the decree, and bowed with the others when Hamura's soul arrived to name Hinata the only one who could destroy the vessel controlling the Moon.
