Third Hoshikage

The was the former leader of the Hoshigakure. His real name is unknown.

Background
When the Third learned of the side effects of the star training after Natsuhi and Hotarubi were caught trying to steal the meteor, he banished the two for their attempted burglary but promised to forbid the star training. Before they left, they asked the Third to tell their son, Sumaru, that they died for their country and not to mourn for their loss.

A while later, Akahoshi, Shisō, and Yotaka came to the Third's temple and begged for him to allow the continuation of the star training. However, the Third refused to do so, saying that he couldn't risk all of Hoshi's ninja dying because of it. Angered at his refusal, Akahoshi and his minions killed the Third and took his place.
