Santa Yamanaka

is a shinobi from Konohagakure's Yamanaka clan.

Appearance
Santa has very long, light-coloured hair tied in a ponytail. He wears the standard attire of a Konoha shinobi as well as the Alliance's forehead protector.

Abilities
He is seemingly proficient in his clan's technique's being able to use the Mind Body Switch Technique to exchange bodies instead of just transferring his consciousness into Kakashi's body, as part of a battle strategy. Like other members of his clan he is also a sensor.

Shinobi World War Arc
Santa was placed in Third Division of the Allied Shinobi Forces. He was incorporated into Kakashi's battle strategy in order to gain the upper hand in the battle. Because of the mist that hung on the battlefield visibility was very low hence Santa switched bodies with Kakashi and used his sensory abilities to position Kakashi's body behind Zabuza. He then cancelled the technique to allow Kakashi to strike a blow on the opponent. However, the blow was intercepted by Haku. Santa was concerned that Zabuza had taken down Kakashi when Ensui said he only managed to stop one enemy as the contact time with the other shadow was too short to activate the technique.
