Appearance

Long brown hair, gathered into a bun at the back, frames Kie's dark eyes, with two loose strands falling past an Amegakure forehead protector on either side of his face. He dresses in a black zip-up robe whose zipper runs red, and a white sash crosses his body from the right of his waist up over his left shoulder.

History

Longing for peace, Kie signs on with the independent band known as Akatsuki. One of the group's trials leaves him hurt enough to wear his arm in a sling, and at a later meeting he assures Konan that he, like the rest, stands behind Nagato and Yahiko. His story most likely ends when Obito Uchiha strikes the Akatsuki down as they march to rescue Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko from Hanzo and Konoha's Anbu. Before the fourth databook clarified his name, the anime credits listed him as Monjin.
