Name: Masahiro "Hiro" Satou
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Appearance: Hiro is quite the opposite of what one would expect from a ninja. Rather than giving off an impression of any sort of might, he is a somewhat thin individual who needs large, round glasses to correct his poor eyesight. His hair is relatively short and well-kept, but is mostly obscured by his short, round Japanese chef hat that he wears nearly everywhere he goes. Regardless of whether he is off or on duty, he will always have a white, untied robe over his body. Underneath said robe is a white t-shirt and brown cargo shorts. His eyes are a nice amber.
Rank: Genin
Village: Konona
Clan: clans are for nerds
Kekkei Genkai: see answer for "Clan" portion
Likes: Cooking, training, helping others, failure.
Dislikes: Arrogant "geniuses", being spoken down to, not being able to help around his parents' restaurant.
Personality: Hiro tries his best to remain as kind and respectful to all people regardless of their status. He isn't confrontational in the slightest and seldom speaks up whenever he sees something that's blatantly wrong. Because of this, he has gotten a reputation for being a doormat and most people lack respect for him. He tries his best not to hold it against them and would rather forgive and forget than hold onto any grudges. This doesn't exactly mean he always can. Sometimes his true emotions are bottled up so much that he just has to burst.
Hiro is as hard working and diligent as he is respectful, very. To put things bluntly, he lacks the talent that many other ninjas have. He was, in fact, one of the worst students in his class when it came to actually applying what he learned from paper to action. Only through his sheer dedication was he able to even pass in the first place. No matter what it is that he does, he'll always give twice as much effort as he should and won't stop working until he ends up with a result that HE personally feels satisfied with. While still a lackluster ninja, he is slowly starting to get the hang of things and shows some promise. Ever the optimist, however, he has no issue accepting failure. In fact, he welcomes it. Failing gives him the chance to improve, so no use sulking about it, right?
Short Bio: Masahiro essentially has the odds stacked against him. He comes from a family with four kids and is the oldest out of them all. His parents are two simple restaurant owners who hope to pass down the family business to Hiro. The problem? Hiro wants to be a ninja. Of course, he'd still be more than happy to inherit the restaurant. He has zero qualms with running it one day. Thing is, life as just another one of the common folk would get dull. Fast. No matter what, he doesn't want to live a boring life under any circumstance. For that reason, he put his all into passing through the ninja academy by the skin of his teeth and managed to become a full fledged genin in the end. His mother, a former genin herself, always roots for Hiro at the sidelines while his father worries himself sick over his son's, presumably, much shortened lifespan.
Weapons: Old katana: He saved up money to buy a cheap weapon from a shop. Still has no idea how to use it, though.
Strengths: Devoted to his work, kind, determined, shows great potential, is a godlike chef.
Weaknesses: Zero talent to speak of, essentially a doormat, and learns general ninja skills as a much slower pace than most others.
Other: Hoping to have him come out as a badass by the end of everything. Other than that. Nada.
