Fugaku Uchiha

Fugaku Uchiha was the captain and head of the Konoha Police Force, and father of Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, and head of the Uchiha clan.

Personality and Abilities
He was highly skilled and was very talented as well. He was also the head of the Uchiha clan at the time, and most of the members were respecting him like a father. While he often seems stern and focused on the interests of the clan, Mikoto suggests that this is the role he plays as head of the clan, and that as a father, he cares deeply about his son Sasuke.

Background
When Nine-Tailed Demon Fox incident occured, the village alleged the Uchiha clan as sole orchestrater behind the attack. This accusation caused a rift between the village and Uchiha clan. Fugaku, out of spite, considerd and conspired a Uchiha coup d'etat, to overthrow Konohagakure. Fugaku then orders Itachi to act as spy for the village as a ploy, though Itachi acts as double agent, leaking information to the village. As Itachi was the oldest of his children, Fugaku focused most of his attention on him, even defending Itachi when he was suspected of killing Shisui Uchiha. However the two had a falling out when Itachi lost hope in the clan. Fugaku later showed Sasuke how to perform the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, but when he couldn't do it, just left his son alone, telling him it was possibly too soon for him to learn that jutsu.

Because of Fugaku's focus on Itachi, Sasuke questioned if his father ever loved him, but his mother insured him that he foused on Itachi mainly because he was the first born, he had to lead the clan, telling him when the two were alone he talked a lot about Sasuke. Sasuke continued to try the Great Fireball jutsu in an attempt to impress his father and be recognized as an adult. After Sasuke finally mastered the Great Fireball Technique a week after his first attempt, Fugaku advised him not to follow in Itachi's footsteps, and instead to find his own path. Fugaku was later found next to his wife, dead, killed by Itachi after he gained the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Note: In the Viz Media translation of Volume 25, in the character introduction, instead of the katakana for "Fugaku," they show the characters for "Sasuke's Father."
