Koharu Utatane

is a former member of Team Tobirama, together with Hiruzen Sarutobi and Homura Mitokado. Homura and she now form the Konoha Council.

Background
Under the guidance of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, Koharu and her teammates, Hiruzen and Homura, completed numerous missions and became close friends. When Hiruzen became the Third Hokage, Homura and Koharu became his councilors. With their years of experience and knowledge and their unending effort to make Konohagakure a better place, they eventually gained similar respect and social status as the Hokage himself.

During the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha, Koharu was fighting alongside her team-mates and many other shinobi, attempting to restrain the beast. She was seen wearing armor similar to that of Hiruzen.

Personality
She holds the belief that the group is more important than any of its individual members. Because of this, she always tries to do what she thinks is the best for Konoha, even if it goes against the Hokage's or her opinion. She is also quite demure, but does not let this stop her from voicing her opinion. In fact, despite this, Koharu is one of the few people able to put the Fifth Hokage in her place when she oversteps her authority. Like Homura, she is more militant than the Hokage she served under have been, and sometimes leans more to Danzō's point of view. This became most apparent when she and Homura supported the Uchiha Clan Massacre. Later, they wanted to restrict Naruto Uzumaki's movements, and after Pain's defeat she agreed that Tsunade was partly to blame for Konoha's destruction.
