Akio

Akio is the younger brother of Todoroki. While Todoroki believes him to have died, he is actually alive and is the leader of a group of orphans in the Forest of Bewilderment. He is kidnapped by the Shinobazu, but is saved from their hideout by Naruto, Todoroki and Gantetsu. Instead of returning with his brother, he chooses to follow Gantetsu to help him protect the orphans. Torodoki gives him his best wishes and gives him the gift he was supposed to give him when they were younger.
