First Hoshikage

He was the, and founder of Hoshigakure.

Background
About two hundred years before the start of the series, he discovered a "fallen star" (a meteor) with mystical powers, he founded a village in the Land of Bears, in hopes to make well-renowned shinobi and gain the title of a great hidden village. He didn't know of the side effects of the star training, and people started to die from overpowering chakra that imploded in their bodies.

Appearance
The First wore the traditional attire of the Hoshikage that consisted of the customary hat and haori along with a purple, full-length kimono that was tied using a white sash. Though his face was initially unseen, the First seemed to be a middle-aged man and also had a grey moustache.

Abilities
Due to his high rank, the First Hoshikage was presumably a very powerful shinobi. He discovered the usage of the star that Hoshigakure became famous for, and was possibly aware of the benefits of using its chakra. However, he did not know about its side effects, which could mean that he didn't have enough time to realise the danger of using the star's chakra.
