Raidō Namiashi

is a Tokubetsu Jōnin who served as the Third Hokage's attendant during the Chūnin Exams. He is usually seen with Genma Shiranui and Aoba Yamashiro.

Appearance
Raidō's most distinct feature is probably the wheal on his face- running across the bridge of his nose and down across the left side of his face. He has brown spiky hair, dark eyes and wears the standard attire of the Konoha shinobi complete with a forehead protector and the standard flak jacket. On his fingers are what appear to be black bandages.

Abilities
Despite the handful of fights he has been in, Raidō has yet to be seen in extended combat. Given that he was a bodyguard for the Third Hokage, and that the Sound Four needed to activate their cursed seals in order to defeat him, it is likely that he is a formidable fighter. It was shown that when Hidan and Kakuzu attempted to kill Kotetsu and Izumo, Raidō successfully attacked and fended off Kakuzu with a unique sword called, which resembles a katana with a darkened, non-reflective surface.
