Komachi

is an ANBU operative who was created as a playable character for Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2, and returned for its sequel, Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3. She is one of four original characters created for the game and a companion of Yugao Uzuki in the story. Her main method of attack is more distanced than that of her counterpart, Towa. She has several needles that hold her hair up, and can throw them at the opponent in a manner reminiscent of Haku's fighting style from previous games.

Plot overview
The story begins with Towa and Komachi confronting two rogue ninja, who are completely silent when questioned. The two ANBU resolve to beat the answers out of the ninja. Despite winning the fight, however, Towa and Komachi lose track of the two ninja when they flee after defeat. Tracking the two, Towa and Komachi happen upon a village that was completely destroyed, and the two deduce that, for some reason, the villagers all killed each other. The two report back to Konohagakure, and an investigation starts. Towa and Komachi eventually report back to Tsunade with what they'd learned from the village.

Komachi also makes a cameo appearance in the hideout of the enemy; after Yugao defeats a group of rogue ninja, Komachi reports to her that they still haven't found anyone who could be the boss of the operation.

Later on in the story, the two ANBU track down and confront Kagura, who claims that she'd been manipulating them the whole time, saying that they only found the clues she'd left for them, and that her true plan was not to destroy the Hidden Leaf Village, but to kill Tsunade as revenge for a long-held grudge. Towa and Komachi team up to fight Kagura, but both lose to her. With the two ANBU defeated, all hope for defeating Kagura, or reporting her location and plans back to the village seems lost, until Kakashi and Sakura show up to fight Kagura themselves. Komachi was, strangely, not seen again after this.

Despite her appearance in Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3, Komachi plays no part in the story of the game, and, like several other returning characters from Revolution 2, has been included only as a bonus character. Like the other three original characters from the previous game, Komachi can be unlocked from the start in Revolution 3 by having Revolution 2 save data on the Wii, but she must be purchased before she can be used.

Trivia

 * Komachi means "belle" or "town beauty." The word originated with the famous ninth-century Japanese poet Ono no Komachi, who was noted to be a rare beauty.
 * While there is no limit to the number of needles Komachi can throw, she only has six visibly holding her hair up.
 * In the game, Komachi has a team special with Towa.
 * Throughout the game, other than their dialogue in the story, Towa and Komachi use several of the same phrases, such as "Mission start," "Mission complete," and "All for the Hidden Leaf Village!" The only difference in their speech mannerisms is that Towa tends to pause betweeen the first and second words of each phrase, while Komachi says them without pause. All in all, the two appear to be very similar in terms of their personalities and, as should be true for most ANBU, seem to have hidden their identities and conformed to the standards of the Black Ops group.

Quotes

 * "All for the Hidden Leaf Village!"
 * "My apologies. It's nothing personal."
