Name: Nokawa Kita
[Kita means ‘North’. ‘Kawa’ means river.]
Age: 15
Gender: Dansei (Male)
Rank: Genin
Appearance:
Kita is tall for his age, standing at 5’10”, and weighing in at around 130 lbs. He’s lithe and agile, adding to his great speed immensely. He’s naturally muscled from the intensive training he puts himself through, and lightly tanned from the Sunagakure sun. His hair is a dark, uneven hazel brown in color, shoulder-length, and usually tied up in a spiky ponytail similar to that of Abarai Renji. His eyes are gracefully angled, deep brown, and riddled with small teal flecks of color, giving him a curious look. As part of the Nokawa clan tradition, Kita’s eyes are thickly outlined in black ink that continues into a small spike at the corners, and then slopes down into a curving point, with a small dot on the inside of the curve.
When it comes to clothing, Kita likes to keep things simple, and as such, he wears only a basic mesh shirt, over which is a form-fitted black vest which holds a few pockets to fit scrolls inside of, matching trousers that halt at mid-calf, and the traditional pair of zori. Both of his arms are bandaged from the knuckles to the crooks of his elbows, while his legs are covered from ankle to knee, which add extra strength for parrying movements. Strapped in an X-formation across his chest and back are his twin katana. The metal plate of his headband is attached diagonally to one of the chest straps of his katana holsters. The kunai/shuriken pouches are attached to his right leg.
Personality: Kita can be defined by one word: pervert. Whether he is the long lost son of the famous Sannin Jiraiya, or just trying to have a bit of fun, girls everywhere in Suna know him for his multiple attempts to sneak into the women’s bath. On the downside, Kankuro also knows of his numerous escapades, and comically threatens to ream him a new one if he is ever caught sneaking looks at Temari again. Kita is generally a good guy to be around, considerate, though he has his days. The funny guy mask is dropped the instant his friends are in danger, and when in battle, he is a determined fighter, proud of his abilities as a Suna shinobi. Kita despises being underestimated by anyone, and strives to make himself better if he deems his skills are to be honed. Kita has a generally sarcastic attitude even toward his superiors, but he will never speak to an elder with disrespect. He has a tendency to call his comrades and newly met people with the honorific ‘-koi’ (meaning -love), be they male or female.
Despite his humorous mannerisms, he’s a skilled fighter, and a sight to behold on the training field.
History: Kita was born into a fairly well-known clan in Sunagakure no Sato of the Kaze no Kuni, to a young shinobi couple. Their names were Kurogane and Kusabana. Raised by his two elder brothers when his parents failed to return from a mission to the Grass Country, Kita was, for the most part, given a loose leash when it came to obedience and curfews. He’d spend his days around the village, playing with the other children on the playground, until one day a certain child caught his eye. The boy was sitting on a swing by himself, staring at the ground forlornly. As Kita remembered it, the child had hair as crimson as blood, and the other kids used to shirk him like the plague. Before he’d taken two steps toward the boy, his elder brother Denkou grabbed his arm, hissing a warning into his ear.
“How many times have Tourou and I forbidden you from approaching him?” when Kita would not answer, Denkou tightened his grip until Kita yelped.
“Many, onii-san!” the young boy cried, prying his arm away from his brother. “But why? Why mustn’t I speak to him? He seems so… sad.”
“He isn’t sad. A demon child like him feels nothing. He’s a beast, that boy. Go home!”
“But-”
“NOW!”
And Kita scurried away, but not before hearing his brother utter that one horrid word in the direction of the redhead.
Bakemono.
When he returned to the playground a few days later, the redheaded boy wasn’t there. His mood sunken, Kita wandered around the nearby market, and then doubled back to the sandbox. A boy that looked about his age was crouching in the small mounds of golden matter, playing with a small green bamboo snake puppet. Thick blue strands of chakra poured out of his fingertips as he made the puppet clack and wiggle to the movements of his index and middle.
Enchanted by this talent, Kita moved closer, until he was standing in front of the brown-haired boy, who wore naught but a thin shirt of mesh and black cotton coupled with trousers of the same color, and a pair of sandals.
When the kid finally acknowledged Kita, the snake stopped its mad dance and lay still.
“Yeah?” was all he said, as he gazed at the intruder with an almost sardonic tone. Kita swallowed, before averting his eyes from the boy and crouching to examine the snake puppet.
“That was really cool, what you just did.” he remarked admiringly. The boy simply snorted.
“Nothing special.” the stranger brushed off, though a smug smile was creeping up on his lips. Kita felt a small smile tugging at his own, and soon a small conversation was going between them.
That night, before Tourou came to fetch him in, Kita and the strange boy bade each other goodbye.
“Hey, I never got your name.” Kita called after his retreating back. The boy turned, and quirked his eyebrows.
“Oh. Tell me yours first.”
“Kita of the Nokawa clan. What’s yours?”
The dark-haired boy hesitated momentarily, before responding.
“Kankuro. Second child of the Yondaime Kazekage.”

Known Jutsu:

(Suna) Shunshin no Jutsu (Basic) - (Sand) Body Flicker Technique - This jutsu is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported.
The Body Flicker technique has various variations among the different hidden villages, all of which involve some extra element aside from the movement itself. The extra element is usually some sort of substance used to distract the opponent, such as leaves or sand.
Kakuremino no Jutsu (Basic) - Cloak of Invisibility Technique - This jutsu allows the user to take a piece of cloth or a cloak and blend into the background perfectly.

Katon: Ryuka no Jutsu - Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu - The user breathes fire along a cord or any other type of long object.
Katon: Housenka no Jutsu - Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu - This jutsu sends multiple balls of fire at a target. It is also possible to hide shuriken within the fireballs, creating an unexpected secondary surprise attack. For the most part, however, this jutsu is used as a distraction.
Soushuha - Manipulating Attack Blades - This jutsu allows the user to control and manipulate blades with chakra in a manner similar to the Puppet Technique.
Kaze Geashi - Wind Counter - Using his katana, Kita can slice through wind-based attacks as well as deflect them.

Nawanuke no Jutsu (Basic) - Rope Escape Jutsu - This jutsu allows a ninja to free themselves if they have been tied up.
Signature Jutsu
Hishou Kiba - Soaring Fang - By placing his katana together side by side, Kita can create a double-bladed sword. By pouring chakra into the katana, the chakra will then take on the form of a small fennec fox, to be controlled to attack by Kita. This is also the way Kita performs his summon.
Kuchiyose no Jutsu - Summoning Technique - By means of a small blood sacrifice combined with hand seals, the user can summon a creature they signed the blood contract with.
By smearing blood along the edge of the blade, Kita performs his hand seals and slams the katana point first into the ground, thus performing the summon.
Kita’s summon takes on the form of a vest-wearing fennec fox named Su-Tomu (meaning ‘Storm’). Su-Tomu is the size of a small horse, and wields a double-ended kunai in his mouth. Once summoned, he will turned himself into a towering twister of sand to attack. The kunai serves the purpose of inflicting extra damage.
Main fighting style: Ninjutsu and his twin katana.
