A young Konohagakure civilian of the Boruto era, Ko Kogare enrolled at the Academy and shared a classroom with Shino Aburame's students. Short on self-belief, he hesitated at the threshold of a ninja career, declining to sit the exam that would have made him a genin.
Ko is a fair-skinned boy with dark hair gathered into a ponytail, set off by very thin brows above black eyes. His outfit pairs a cyan shirt and matching trousers with a turquoise cape fastened by a large gold button, worn with sandals.
