Kagura Karatachi

is a shinobi of Kirigakure who works as an aide to the Sixth Mizukage, Chōjūrō. He has been chosen as a successor for the new Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Personality
His goal is to make Kiri into a peaceful village. He is shown to be very friendly to others, even if they're from another village. He is happy to meet the visiting class from Konohagakure. Kagura is also a fan of Kagemasa to the point he owns extremely rare Kagemasa merchandise.

Appearance
Kagura is a teenager of above-average height. He has a fair complexion with short, messy, grey hair that fell over the right side of his face and spiked up on the left his forehead, pink eyes and a red line mark with three points running down under his left eye. He is very handsome as nearly all the Konoha Academy female students immediately swooned for him.

He wears black pants, a striped purple shirt, a green long-sleeved vest with high collars, and black gloves. He also wears a grey-strapped forehead protector under his bangs. He carries at his hip a katana with a square hollow hilt. Attached to the top of the scabbard is a Kagemasa key-chain shaped like the movie-star's signature visors.

Abilities
Kagura is a genius shinobi, who despite his young age, already has high status in his village. As a candidate for the next generation of Seven Ninja Swordsmen, it can be assumed that he is highly proficient in kenjutsu.

Field Trip Arc
When one of Konoha's Academy classes has a field trip to Kiri, Kagura greets the class when they arrive, and guides them into the village.

Trivia

 * The name "Karatachi" refers to the trifoliate orange, also known as the Japanese bitter-orange; like all members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, his surname is derived from a type of produce.
 * Kagura bears an uncanny resemblance to—and shares a similar name with—the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura.
