This is a team of spies from Otogakure. During the Chunin Exams, this team was asked to get information from Team Kakashi and mainly Sasuke Uchiha.

Chunin Exams
The team was first introduced together at the start of the second phase of the exams, although Kabuto was introduced prior to that. Their goal was to gain information on Sasuke Uchiha. When the team reached the chuunin exam preliminaries Kabuto forfeited noting it was too difficult for him leaving Yoroi and Misumi to fight. Before leaving, Yoroi asks Kabuto why he forfeited. Kabuto knew for a while now that Yoroi had resented the fact that Kabuto was Orochimaru's right-hand man and that Yoroi wanted the position for himself. Therefore, he tells Yoroi to "Go for it" and leaves. This was the last time they were seen together as a team in the series.

During the preliminaries, Yoroi was pitted against Sasuke (much to Yoroi's delight, and later to his dismay) who he originally had the upper hand on due to his Chakra Absorption Technique, but was then defeated by Sasuke's Lion Combo. Misumi was drawn against Kankuro and was easily defeated after Kankuro broke every bone in Misumi's body, except for his neck.

Though their fates after the exam were never revealed in the manga, in the anime only, both Yoroi and Misumi re-appear in the Sea Country Saga as research assistants to Orochimaru's scientist Amachi. Yoroi was defeated by Shino Aburame and sank beneath the waves and Misumi was tricked by Ino Yamanaka into tying himself to a pole while inside in exploding laboratory. Their fates are currently unknown, though it's highly likely they were killed.
