Appearance

Built with the heavy frame common to his clan, Dōtō dresses in armour of a samurai cut, the character for food displayed across the front. Curling, snake-like lines mark both cheeks, and he keeps his long, light-brown spikes pinned beneath a Leaf forehead protector tied bandana-style. A bō staff rounds out his gear.

Abilities

The full scope of Dōtō's talents goes unrecorded, yet his placement at the very front of the earlier war speaks to considerable ability. As an Akimichi, he can be expected to burn stored calories into chakra to fuel the clan's guarded techniques, and he handles his staff with evident skill.

History

During the conflict between Konohagakure and Kumogakure, Dōtō carried real weight among the Leaf's forces. He served in a small unit that paired him with Minato Namikaze, Gaku Inuzuka and his ninken, and one further shinobi. In a single clash the group ran up against Kumo's A-B Combo, and as Minato engaged the pair, a signal reached the Konoha side ordering a withdrawal.
