Izumo Kamizuki

Izumo Kamizuki (神月　イズモ, Kamizuki Izumo?) and Kotetsu Hagane (はがね コテツ, Hagane Kotetsu?) are two friends who are always seen working together. They make their debut trying to discourage Genin from participating in the Chunin Exams, and later act as proctors for the exam's first phase. After the Fifth Hokage takes office, the two act as her personal assistants, and also become the patrolmen of the entrance/exit gate of Konoha. Izumo and Kotetsu appear again in Part II as members of the Niju Shotai teamed with Asuma Sarutobi and Shikamaru Nara. During a battle with Akatsuki, both try to do battle with Kakuzu; Kotetsu summons a large weapon resembling a conch shell for attack, and Izumo coats the ground in a sticky syrup to try and immobilize Kakuzu. Neither is successful, and they are both left at Kakuzu's mercy until reinforcements arrive.
