Meizu

and his brother Gōzu are twin brothers and former Kirigakure Chunin. Meizu is described as having a short fuse and is extremely violent while torturing his foes. They fled the village with Zabuza Momochi when he failed in his attempt to kill the Mizukage, and thereafter began working for him as assassins. At the start of the series he sends them to kill Tazuna, but they are stopped and by Kakashi Hatake, Tazuna's bodyguard. He ties them to a tree so that they can later be taken into custody.

Gōzu and Meizu are a paragon of coordination attacking. His large metal gauntlets house a retractable shuriken chain running between the two of them, which they can use to bind an enemy and then slice them to pieces. In the event that the shuriken chain is neutralized, Gōzu also has a release mechanism, to free him from Meizu for individual attacks. He uses the sharp, poisoned claws on his gauntlets to shred his foes.

Appearance
Meizu wears an air-mask similar to Kigiri's and a large clawed poisonous gauntlet on his left arm wear he projects his shuriken chain. He also wears camouflage pants like Chōjiro and a Kirgakure headband with two horns on it.
