A (Third Raikage)

The was the leader of Kumogakure thirty years prior to the Fourth Great Shinobi World War.

Background
While little as of yet is known of his tenure as Raikage, it was shown that his rule was plagued by the berserk attacks of the Eight-Tailed Giant Ox. As they could not dispose of such a valuable war deterrent, he was forced to look for a suitable jinchuriki. He also made it a personal duty to combat and re-seal the Eight-Tails in a special sealing pot when the jinchuriki fails to master it, opting to extract the beast (which would result in the jinchuriki's death) for a more favorable host. Between his tenure and A's ascent to the position, the Eight-Tails was ultimately sealed into the latter's younger brother Killer Bee.

Appearance
The Third Raikage has a muscular, bodybuilder-like stature, a slightly bulbous nose like Darui's, an uneven goatee and similar eyes to Kakuzu and Hanzo (in the manga). He has the tattoo for lightning on his right shoulder and a lightning shaped scar that runs from his neck across his right breast. He also wears the one-strap-over-one-shoulder Flak Jacket with no other clothing underneath and has a thick rope belt.
