CharacterOne of Kakuzu's subordinates, posted to watch over a pawnshop during the Itachi Pursuit Mission. His guard duty ended abruptly when Suigetsu came through.
Appearance
A black bandana covered his head, and a small dark goatee sat at his chin. He wore a purple flak jacket over a black long-sleeved shirt, with greenish pants and dark shinobi sandals below. A large, ornate blade rode across his back on a black strap, while a second sword hung at his right hip, marking him as left-handed.
