Part In The Story
Kakashi, like his father, the legendary Sakumo Hatake(Aka White Fang of Konoha), is considered a genius shinobi,graduating from ninja school at age 5, become Chunnin at age 6. After his father comitted seppuku in front of Kakashi for saving his comrade instead of completing the mission, Kakashi dedicated his life to stick by the Ninja code. Kakashi was later placed on the future Fourth Hokage's team with Obito Uchiha, to whose relationship is like Sasuke to Naruto, and Rin, a medic-nin. At age 13, in the midst of the Third Great Ninja war, Kakashi was promoted to Jonin. In one mission, Rin was kidnapped, and Obito convinced Kakashi to rescue Rin. Things got really bad when kakashi lost his left eye, but thanks to Obito's newly awakend Sharingan, they defeated the enemy.Obito is crushed under falling rubble from the enemy's last attack. As a last gift, Obito give Kakashi one of his Sharingan. Thus, the Sharingan Kakashi was born.

Kakashi is currently a jounin and the leader of Team 7 composed of himself, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha (before defection), Sakura Haruno and Sai.

Personality
After Kakashi's father's death, Kakashi was very by-the-book, carning more for the success of the mission then one's own teammates. However, Obito Uchiha's death changed Kakashi big-time. Kakashi now cares hugely about teamwork, which we see in the way he tests newly-graduated students. He also has inherited Obito's chronic tardiness, due primarilty to losing track of time during his frequent visits to Konoha's memorial site for ninja who died in a mission, which he visits for Obito's sake. Kakashi is known to be oblivious to his surroundings, seemingly more often when Gai talks to him. He loves reading Ichi Ichi Paradise (Flirting or Make-Out Paradise in some translations) by Jiraiya.

Face
The most prominent of Kakashi's facial looks is that he wears a face mask that covers the lower half of his face. Even though Team 7, commanded by him, tried to figure out his looks without the face mask (featured in Episode 101), they never succeeded, although it is assumed that he was quite handsome. Along with that, Kakashi wears his forehead protector so that it's slanted over his left eye, which houses Obito Uchiha's Sharingan. A permanent scar goes down vertically over his left eye, suggesting that Kakashi lost his original eye in combat. Kakashi's right eye is of a brown color. His hair is silver-colored and it sticks up on a slight angle to the left from Kakashi's perspective.

Clothing
Kakashi wears the traditional flak jacket along with metal wrist guards. His ankles are bandaged and under the flak jacket is the traditional Jōnin suit.

Trivia

 * "Kakashi" means scarecrow, and puns to this translation are seen throughout the series.
