He has a number of scars on his face and body, including one running vertically across his throat, and he also have what appears to be a tattoo of a snake on his right shoulder. His attire consists of a long sleeveless, dark green shirt which he ties with a light green sash, grey pants and black arm braces. His forehead protector is attached to the bottom of his shirt and he wears bandages on his right biceps. Shira also sports a small amber tomoe necklace.

Abilities
Shira appears to be highly skilled in taijutsu, as he was able to easily block one of Lee's kicks with one hand, much to the latter's surprise.

In Naruto's Footsteps: The Friend's Paths
Shortly after Gaara was made Fifth Kazekage, Shira's team went to join in the early Chūnin Exams co-sponsored by Sunagakure and Konohagakure. For the first exam, the teams were all split up to take the written test in separate rooms. Shikamaru Nara, as proctor, explained that everyone only needs to answer one question on the test, but their combined score with their team-mates will determine if they pass or fail the exam as they need exactly 100 points to pass. His team was able to qualify for the second round. A preliminary round had to be held to lessen the many participants there were. The preliminary round involved a race to Sunagakure with only the first 30 participants qualifying for the primary second round. Shira and his team were of the 30 participants to make it. That night, when the participants got into a brawl during dinner, he was able to easily stop a direct attack from Rock Lee. His action caused Lee, who later confronted him after the brawl was ceased thanks to Fū's arrival, to deem him as a worthy foe. The next day, the second exam proctor, Temari, announced the start of the second round taken place within Demon Desert.
