Aoba Yamashiro

is one of the handful Tokubetsu Jonins of Konoha, who is randomly seen from time to time.

Konoha Invasion arc
He makes his first appearance alongside other Tokubetsu Jonin Shinobis who repels the invading forces during the invasion of Konoha.

Return of Itachi arc
He later appears inadvertently telling Sasuke Uchiha of Itachi Uchiha's visit to Konoha, causing Sasuke to rush from the room in search of his brother. The Jonin clearly disapprove of this, with Might Guy frowning at him and Kurenai Yuhi calling him an idiot.

Hidan and Kakuzu arc
Aoba appears in Part II as a member of the Niju Shotai, assisting Asuma Sarutobi's team in the fight against Akatsuki, where he used his abillites to hold of the Akatsuki duo, while Asuma was beeing carried to safety by his team.

Abilities
He demonstrates a technique involving large numbers of crows to swarm and blind the enemy. The crows seem to be dispelled like shadow clones when struck and are used to disguise Raido Namiashi's movements. While fighting Kakuzu it was also shown that he is adept at taijutsu.
