poses as a Genin-level ninja from the Konohagakure during the Chunin exam, along with Kabuto Yakushi and Yoroi Akado. To be more efficient in the gathering of information he has received a Soft Physique Modification (軟の改造, Nan no Kaizō?), a surgical procedure that allows him to dislocate his joints to fit into any space. He then controls his softened body with chakra, allowing him to stretch and twist any part of his body at any angle, elongating and even coiling around his opponent. Misumi attempts to use this ability on Kankuro during the Chunin Exams by catching him in an inescapable hold and breaking his neck. While he seems to have succeeded, he in actuality breaks the neck of Kankuro's puppet, which quickly turns the tables and, as Kankuro claims, breaks every bone in Tsurugi's body but his neck, removing him from the battle.

Misumi makes a second appearance with Yoroi in the Land of the Sea filler arc, where he is depicted as a research assistant and bodyguard to Orochimaru's scientist, Amachi. He, like Yoroi, has taken off the cloth covering his lower face. During the events of this arc, Ino Yamanaka uses her Mind Body Disturbance Technique to force him to tie his arms to pillars in one of the rooms of the labs, and leaves him there when it collapses, presumably killing him.
