Samidare
CharacterSamidare is a genin of Amegakure, a rain-village ninja with a nosy, opportunistic streak. He turns up in the anime during the Chunin Exams, leading a pack of Ame genin who shadow the Konoha teams hoping to snatch the Fourth Hokage's legacy for themselves.
Appearance
Spiky brown hair sits on his head, gathered into a ponytail with short jagged bangs falling across his forehead protector. A green scarf loops his neck above a pale grey jacket, and his overall gear echoes the outfits worn by Team Shigure.
Personality
Curiosity and self-interest drive him. He is the sort to trail rival shinobi quietly, learning what they are after so that he can take the prize for himself the moment an opening appears.

In the anime he is one of the many who wash out of the Chunin Exam's opening test. He then joins Suiu and thirteen other rain ninja in tailing Team 7 and Team 10, hoping to seize the Fourth Hokage's legacy, but their ambush collapses when Sasuke Uchiha cuts through the entire group with Chidori.
