Sukima
CharacterSukima is a genin of Konohagakure best remembered for a quick exit from the Chūnin Exams. Seated just behind Naruto Uzumaki in the written round, he became the very first examinee caught cheating the limit of five times, washing out his whole team.
Appearance
Long brown hair falls across the right side of Sukima's face. He dresses in a green high-collared shirt with matching trousers, sandals, and bandaging strapped around his left leg.

What little defines Sukima is a streak of carelessness, borne out when he was the earliest examinee to slip up and get flagged. Fittingly, his name points to a gap or opening, and by extension to inattention.
