Chōjūrō

is a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, wielder of a double-handled sword named Hiramekarei. He is one of two Kirigakure ninja selected to escort the Fifth Mizukage to the Kage summit.

Appearance
Chōjūrō has sharp, shark-like teeth, a trait that Zabuza Momochi, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Suigetsu Hozuki have; all of these characters are associated with the famed Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure. He wears black-rimmed glasses connected to what appear to be headphones. He also wears a striped shirt and camouflage pattern pants that resemble the clothing Zabuza wore during his first appearance. Also, he wears his forehead protector like a badge on his chest. He has his Hiramekarei on his back but wrapped around large bandages.

Personality
Despite his membership in the Seven Swordsmen, he is shy, and he seems to lack confidence in his abilities. He also appears to have a crush on the Fifth Mizukage, as he commented inwardly on wanting to protect her 'beautiful smile'.

Abilities
Chōjūrō is a sword-user, and wields a dual-handled sword called the Hiramekarei, that is linked together at the handles by a chain. When it is unsealed from the bandages, it releases chakra that is shaped into an enormous hammer. He is shown to have enough strength to swing Hiramekarei in its hammer form, even sending an opponent flying a considerable distance through a wall. However, carrying the heavy sword for an extended amount of time does tire Chōjūrō out, similar to Suigetsu Hōzuki.

Five Kage Summit arc
Chōjūrō and Ao are chosen to escort the Fifth Mizukage to the Kage Summit. During their trip to the Land of Iron, Chōjūrō is frequently embarrassed by the Mizukage's concern over him, which earns scolding from Ao. Once they finally arrive and the meeting begins, Ao and Chōjūrō fulfill their duty of guarding the Mizukage, coming to her aid during the Fourth Raikage's outburst and Zetsu's appearance.

When Sasuke Uchiha infiltrates the summit, Chōjūrō activates Hiramekarei and uses it to knock Sasuke into an adjacent hall where the Mizukage can fight him alone. Although Sasuke is able to escape, his actions convince the Kage to begin working together. As a sign of good faith, Chōjūrō tells those in attendance about Kisame Hoshigaki and his Samehada.

After leaving the Summit with the Mizukage, they follow Ao's trail, who was following Danzō. When they reach Ao, the Mizukage stops him from beheading himself. Realizing that someone must be in control of Ao's body, the Mizukage borrows Hiramekarei so that she can knock out Ao, releasing him from the enemy's control.
