Part In The Story
Kakashi is the son of a legendary leaf ninja, Sakumo. After his father comited seppuku, a type of suicide, because of a failed mission Kakashi dedicated his life to never making the same mistake. When he was younger, Kakashi was placed on the future Fourth Hokage's team. There Kakashi's friend, Obito, (a member of the Uchiha clan) died and gave his Sharingan to Kakashi by transplating it thanks to Rin, a medical ninja and the other member of Kakashi's cell. Thus, the copy ninja was born. Kakashi is currently a jounin and the leader of Team 7 composed of himself, Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke (before defection), Haruno Sakura and Sai.

Personality
After Kakashi's father's death, Kakashi was very by-the-book, carning more for the success of the mission then one's own teammates. However, Uchiha Obito's death changed Kakashi big-time. Kakashi now cares hugely about teamwork, which we see in the way he tests newly-graduated students. He also has inherited Obito's chronic tardiness, due primarilty to losing track of time during his frequent visits to Konoha's memorial site for ninja who died in a mission, which he visits for Obito's sake. Kakashi is known to be oblivious to his surroundings, seemingly more often when Gai talks to him. He loves reading Ichi Ichi Paradise (Flirting or Make-Out Paradise in some translations) by Jiraiya.

Looks
-Face The most prominent of Kakashi's facial looks is that he wears a face mask that covers the lower half of his face. Even though Cell 7, commanded by him, tried to figure out his looks without the face mask (featured in Episode 101), they never succeeded, although it is assumed that he was quite handsome. Along with that, Kakashi wears his forehead protector so that it's slanted over his left eye, which houses Uchiha Obito's Sharingan. A permanent scar goes down vertically over his left eye, suggesting that Kakashi lost his original eye in combat. Kakashi's right eye is of a brown color. His hair is silver-colored and it sticks up on a slight angle to the left from Kakashi's perspective.

-Clothing Kakashi wears the traditional flak jacket along with metal wrist guards. His ankles are bandaged and under the flak jacket is the traditional Jōnin suit.

Jutsu
-Thanks to Kakashi's Sharingan, he has learned over a thousand techniques. We will just put the ones known here.
 * Shadow Clone Technique
 * Earth Release: Inner Decapitation Technique (Earth Style: Groundhog Decapitation in Viz translation)
 * Chidori (Thousand Birds)
 * Raigeki (Lightning Blade)
 * Thousand Years of Death/Death of a Thousand Years (Konoha's Secret Technique)
 * Summon: Tracking Fang (canine summoning)

Trivia

 * His family name, "Hatake" can be written in kanji either as 'farmland' or leaf warrior'. However, the literal translation "Hatake" is 'cultivated field'.
 * "Kakashi" means scarecrow, and puns to this translation are seen throughout the series.
