Chōjūrō

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

Appearance
Chōjūrō is shown having sharp, shark-like teeth. He shares this trait with Zabuza Momochi, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Suigetsu Hozuki, all of whom are associated with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. He wears black-rimmed glasses and 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.

Personality
Despite his membership in the Seven Swordsmen, he is shy, and seems to lack confidence in his abilities. He is seen putting himself down, as well as not using sentences and stuttering such as "I ... I think ... I'll be fine ... probably ..." He also appears to have a crush on the Fifth Mizukage, as he commented inwardly on wanting to protect her beautiful smile.

Five Kage Summit arc
He was setting off with Ao to escort the Mizukage to the Five Kage meeting, called for by the Raikage. There he is scolded by Ao for his insecurety.

After traveling for time, the small group stopped at an inn to eat and rest. There, after the Mizukage shows her worry for Chōjūrō for having to carry the heavy Hiramekarei, he complains of feeling feverish. After getting scolded by Ao, yet again, for not being able to make up his mind as to what to order for dinner, he goes to get food.

Abilities
His dual sword, linked together by the handles, is called Hiramekarei. Its true ability is still unknown. However, it is heavy as it tires Chōjūrō out just by carrying it. The fact the he was chosen as one of the two bodyguards of the Fifth Mizukage means that he is the strongest of the remains of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, or the only one that hasn't defected.
