Gōza

is a senior from Sunagakure. His foremost concern was the dignity of the village. He is part of the council of seniors that discussed the state of affairs after the abduction of the Kazekage by the Akatsuki. With the Kazekage gone, he feared for the stability of the village and was afraid the village would be disgraced if the other countries found out the Kazekage was kidnapped by their own missing-nin, Sasori.
