Yamame (citizen)

is a villager in the Land of Water.

Background
During his childhood, Yamame was close friends with Iwana. When Kagura Karatachi had moved to their village, Yamame had noticed he isolated himself from the other children, so he and Iwana approached the boy and befriended him.

Great Sea Battle of Kirigakure Arc
Years after leaving the village, Kagura returned and was greeted by Yamame and Iwana. Kagura informed his childhood friends of the threat of the elite forces from the Funato clan, who would pass by their village on their way to Kirigakure. Yamame agreed to help his childhood friend and his allies to help defend the village. Later, Yamame would notice Kyohō Fuefuki cutting down trees by himself, both him and Iwana offered to help him in setting up the village defences.
