Wind Daimyō (Part I)
CharacterThe first Wind Daimyō is the former feudal lord of the Land of Wind. Hedonistic and tight with money, his cuts to Sunagakure's funding turned his own hidden village against him and helped set the stage for the assault on Konohagakure.
Appearance
He dresses in a purple robe worn over a brown kimono and a matching purple hat, a look that breaks from the standard garb of the great nations' feudal lords. His black facial hair is kept as a goatee.
Personality
Descriptions paint him as devoutly religious and given to indulgence. He is also notably stingy: he slashed the budget of Sunagakure, the ninja village within his domain, and farmed out much of its work to the cheaper Konohagakure. The move made him deeply resented among Suna's people, who came to suspect he meant to be rid of them.
History
His unpopularity in Suna hardened after he trimmed the village's funding and shifted its assignments to Konoha, leaving many convinced he wanted the settlement gone. That resentment fed Sunagakure's decision to join the Konoha Crush, an attempt to frighten the daimyō by laying waste to the Leaf. By the time of Part II he had, for reasons left unexplained, been replaced by a different lord. Databook notes record a taste for rare, extravagant dishes and a dislike of shiitake.
