Mo belongs to the Moya Triad, a trio who dress up their thin ninja talent with attention-grabbing stunts aimed at charming women. His unofficial name comes from the katakana he strikes whenever the group strikes a pose together.
Personality
Mo and his fellow Moya Triad members show little interest in refining their shinobi craft, channelling their energy instead into odd, showy behaviour designed to draw the attention of women. That priority defines how the group operates and colours nearly everything they do.
Abilities
Whatever fighting ability Mo has leans on poison, which he and his teammates use to strike at foes in secret. Though he bills himself as a ninja, his actual technique is minimal, and his most obvious physical trait is a notable flexibility.
History
The Triad's grudge against Kakashi Hatake took root when Aniki tried to seduce a woman who wanted nothing to do with him, prompting Kakashi to step in on her behalf. Humiliated, Aniki and his partners resolved to take revenge, yet every attempt they made on Kakashi ended in comic failure. Much later, during the events surrounding Naruto and Hinata's wedding, Mo turned up in disguise with the rest of the Triad, helping welcome Shikamaru Nara and Temari to the Tomiya Inn alongside Okami.
