Sōsha Amino

is an Academy student of Konohagakure.

Personality
A very upbeat and talkative girl, Sōsha is quite gossipy, frequently updating others on recent developments. She is a rather informed person, readily telling her class-mates what she knows about their higher profile members. She has great interest in uncovering mysteries, but is likewise easily scared into running away from the challenge.

As a writer for the Academy paper, she takes her job on it very seriously, acting as an investigative reporter, even pretending to have a microphone while questioning people, also taking care to fact-check what she writes. Due to her passion for journalism, Sōsha tends to publish stories even if it embarrasses her classmates, as she ran a story about Eiki Fūma secretly reading the "Icha Icha" series.

Appearance
Sōsha Amino is a short girl with short red hair that is combed to the right side. She has grey eyes and short, round eyebrows. Sōsha wears an oversized pink sweater with a shirt collar sticking out from underneath, along with light blue jeans and a pair of sandals. She carries a dark blue backpack.

Abilities
Sōsha writes for the Academy paper. Likewise, she apparently is highly skilled in intelligence-gathering, shown from her in-depth knowledge of various clans and recent events.

Kawaki & Himawari Academy Arc
Sōsha attended the Academy opening ceremony as part of a new class. Her classroom was put under the care of new teacher Hana Kaka. Her class included many children of famous people, including the daughter of an acting duo, the daughter of the Seventh Hokage, and Kae Yukiwari, the princess of the Land of Bamboo. The class also included Kawaki, a noticeably older student.

Later, she attended a tea party at Kae's home. After Kae angrily scolded Osuka Kamakura for forcing her friend to ruin the tea party, Sōsha and the other classmates openly applauded Kae, finding her true outspoken side more enjoyable than the prim and proper demeanour she had been hiding behind.

When she told her class-mates about the Seven Mysteries of the Academy, Sōsha and a few other students decided to investigate them at night. When Kawaki and Batora faked the first mystery, Sōsha abandoned the investigation in fear. After the other students finished the investigation, she decided to write about it in the school paper. Later, for a practice team competition, Sōsha was put on the same team as Himawari Uzumaki and Kae, the two agreeing that Kae should be team leader. At the end of the various tests, their team's collective scores won first place.

Later, Sōsha's class prepared a play about the Sannin. She published a story about Eiki reading a book from the Icha Icha series to better understand Jiraiya. Eiki approached her, claiming to have discovered that Kawaki was an actual shinobi, showing her an anonymous note he received. She agreed to write a story about it if he could provide physical evidence. During a rehearsal, Eiki tackled Kawaki, attempting to grab his real forehead protector, but Osuka, who had overheard them talking about it, switched it for a prop one. Sōsha accused Eiki of trying to get her to publish a fake story, and later helped repair the damaged set.

On the day of the school festival, Sōsha went around taking several photos, intending to make an album about that event. When the festival suffered a terrorist threat, Sōsha stayed inside. Following the attack, Sōsha joined several of her classmates to visit Hana on the hospital. Later, she was approached by Kawaki, Himawari, and Eiki, who wanted to check on her festival photos. She was suspicious of their intentions, but relented after Eiki claimed he was looking for someone he had a crush on. The next day, she published a story about it, embarrassing him.

Later, following Hana being hospitalised from the terrorist attack, Sōsha joined her class in welcoming back their teacher. When Hana arranged for the class to undergo survival training on an uninhabited island, Kikuchiyo being injured by a trap and their food going missing stoked Sōsha's fear of rumours that killer missing-nin had settled in the island. Sōsha later helped look for food, and for Neon's damaged drone.

Soon after, they learned from Kawaki and Himawari that Kae was killed by Hana, who was actually a hired assassin. As everyone was horrified to learn the truth about their kind and beloved teacher, Himawari noted that Hana's actions as an assassin seemed too excessive, including how she took Kae after seemingly killing her. Realising that Kae is likely still alive, the class worked together to find and save her. As they worked to pursue Hana, Sōsha remembered an old article about the island. While not remembering the details herself, Kura, conveniently had the article on her for reading. From it, they realised Kae was most likely somewhere on the west coast of the island. Following a trail of crumbs left by Kae, they found her hidden in a cave. Before they could move forward, Kawaki told them to stay behind as they were just students against an elite assassin. Kawaki also revealed himself to really be a full-fledge shinobi, with the mission to protect Kae. Accepting the seriousness of the situation, the students stayed behind. Afterwards however, Eiki noted they could still be helpful in another way.
