Minamo Funato

was a pirate of the Funato clan, the wife of Araumi Funato, and mother of Isari, Seiren, and Ikada.

Background
During the battle against Kirigakure, Minamo brought her newborn son Ikada with her and Araumi, who commented that bringing a child to a battlefield threw him off. During the attack, Minamo was attacked by Kiri's Water Release technique while protecting Ikada. She gave their son to Araumi and told him to promise her that he would raise Ikada well before she became encased in ice. Minamo's frozen body then fell into the ocean.

Personality
Minama was very loyal to her clan, and also very kind and nurturing. Treasuring her family, she wanted nothing more than to see them prosper.

Appearance
Minamo was considered very beautiful. She was fair-skinned woman of average height and curvaceous frame. She had icy-blue eyes and wavy brown hair reaching her lower back. She wore a red bandana atop her hair, a halter-top that is white at her bodice and brown at the midsection, and long red skirt with a blue sash across her waist.

Legacy
Araumi would visit Minamo's ice-encased form often, leaving her a pearl as tribute each time. With her final wish being for Ikada to be raised as a future for the Funato Clan, Araumi became completely driven to realise that wish. After Araumi's argument with Isari over their approach on the war against Kiri, he went underwater to see Minamo while remembering his promise to her.
