The former feudal lord of the Land of Lightning, this daimyo lent his voice to the political decisions surrounding the Fourth Shinobi World War, backing the pact that became the Allied Shinobi Forces before eventually being succeeded by Tekkan.
He is a dark-skinned man with a beard and glasses set in silver frames. Over a loosely draped kimono he wears a dark cloak, topped by the ceremonial headpiece that the daimyo of the five great nations traditionally wear.
What surfaces of him is an agreeable, cooperative streak. He readily endorsed the joint war effort when the other lords gathered, and he was content to pass the long hours of a summit at mahjong and cards with his counterparts.
At a gathering of the Five Great Shinobi Countries' feudal lords, he consented to forming the Allied Shinobi Forces, and the anime has him summoned to that Daimyo Summit at the Fourth Raikage's request. He resurfaces later in a safe house with the other lords, weighing how the alliance ought to be rewarded once the war ended. On another night the five daimyo wore themselves out over mahjong and cards, and when a messenger roused them about a strange light piercing the darkness, they were all caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Naruto and Sasuke ultimately freed him along with the rest of the world by ending the war. In the New Era, the anime notes that Tekkan took his place.

We ranked the six most popular women of Naruto from worst to first, and our number one is going to start a fight. The official poll got it wrong....

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
