Karashi

Karashi is Sanshō's son, and heir to her Curry of Life shop. He was bullied before meeting Rock Lee, and saw Rock Lee as a strong person and role model. However, he chose to join Raiga Kurosuki's clan due to seeing how hard Rock Lee worked to improve his skills as a shinobi.

One year later, at the time of the Raiga arc, he meets Lee again, who is with Naruto Uzumaki and the rest of Team Guy on a mission to defeat the Kurosuki Family. When all his comrades are knocked out, he begs Lee to spare his life and promises that he will leave the Kurosuki Family.

However, this turned out to be an empty promise, as he later helped in a plot to kill Lee and company, for which the villagers try to punish him. Throughout all of this, Lee remained patient and repeatedly gave Karashi second chances. After the plot to kill Lee, Lee tells the villagers he will "improve" Karashi by making him work nonstop in order to negate his punishment. However, even after this, Karashi remains a selfish coward, and when he finds Raiga about to kill him for Ranmaru's supposed death, he blames it on the Konoha ninja, and lures them to Raiga by claiming that Tenten fell off a cliff.

He intends to use this to help his mother escape, but Sanshō insists on staying and waiting for the ninja. However, he later helps his mother make the true Curry of Life by correcting her recipe, based merely on smelling the curry cooking, thus helping to save Naruto and his companions. He now trains Ranmaru to make the Curry of Life, but is still Sanshō's student at that.
