Zabuza, First real villain in the series, gave Kakashi a pretty good fight given the early chapters level of battle complexity. His character had more depht than just his hack-and-slash reputation. He took care of a Little boy, raised him like a weapon but genuinely cared fror him. While he had no humerous side (or facefaults) he was still an interesting character and his introduction gave a nice contrast to Kakashi, both on a level of skill and background (ANBU) and on the subject of what kind of teacher they were and what their students turned into. Not to mention a huge sword and hardcore background which also introduced another of the great villages and helped showcase the vast differences that existed in the Naruto world.
