|| GENDER ||Male
|| AGE ||14
|| SEXUALITY||Bi-sexual
|| VILLAGE ||Konoha
||BIRTHPLACE ||Unknown
||APPEARANCE ||Masshiro used to be among the scrawniest in his village. On his fourteenth birthday, his skinny frame gained muscle and he stood a little over 5’2” (159 cm). He will admit it’s nice to see over most his classmate’s heads now. Sadly, it doesn’t stop him from being an eyesore. While others sported the various hair and eye colors, his genetics followed the coloration seen on albinos. There’s a hint of innocence and gentleness in his deep, red eyes. His skin while white still is able to tolerate the sun despite its lacking pigment. He keeps his white hair trimmed short, but it likes to become a wild mess no matter what he attempts to do with it.
Masshiro likes his clothing choice to be practical and encourage mobility. A simple green open jacket with a black tee-shirt, pants coming just below the knees and ankle boots works fine for him. On his waist is a many pocket belt with all his needed tools for the day. His headband protector is worn around his neck rather than his head so it wouldn’t risk falling down and obstruct his eyes.
||PERSONALITY ||Summary:
Masshiro is considered a reserved and observant type, one less likely to start a fight. Usually, he’s the one that is playing either the peacemaker or stepping in when others come to blows. For that job, he has developed very strong patience. Few have ever seen his temper, which is likely for the best. When he finally hits his limit, there’s little stopping him from blacking out in the rage.
A few flaws he does have is that he tends to be overcautious in a situation he’s not familiar with. Screwing up too big can mean the difference between life and death, even for a genin. This sometimes holds him back from reaping larger rewards through risk. When it comes to conflict, Masshiro appears to be a passive individual when he doesn’t view a fight to be worth the hassle. This usually means he gives into other’s whims rather than continue it and wasting his energy.

Masshiro wasn’t born into the Konoha village, but he was found instead.
One night, there was a struggle within Konoha's territory. A female shinobi was carrying a covered package as she attempted to use the village boundaries to escape her pursuers. Sadly, according to the evidence, she didn’t make it far enough. A fight broke out and drew the local patrolling shinobi causing the remaining survivor to flee. As they examined the scene, an infant’s voice cried out from above them. Following the sound, they found Masshiro cradled between two branches.
Since the child wasn’t technically a ninja, he was allowed to remain in the Village. While growing up, Masshiro had a temper. They were so intense he would black out and never remember the events that transpired during it. It turned out he turned violent enough to hurt others, often taking an adult to haul him off. Eventually, it would pass returning the child to normal.
It was during these spells when Masshiro met Kishi Kemono, the man that would adopt him later on. It was through his teachings that Masshiro learned patience and mediation to calm his temperament. Eventually, his blackouts happened less and less.
Kishi’s wife, Yumiko Kemono, was unable to produce a child. They had tried for numerous years only for her to come up barren. Even her work as a medic ninja couldn’t explain this causing them to decide to adopt young Masshiro, Kishi’s work with him making the boy gentler than he had been in the past. His childhood was happy from that time forward with an attentive mother and a strong father. Now after graduating from the academy, he’s become a genin.
