is a former shinobi and the butler of Kae Yukiwari from the Land of Bamboo.

Personality
Batora seems to care for the princess, inquiring about her condition after her studies and rejoicing that she was able to make a friend and seeing how hard she works on her goals. He is also quite a responsible person who followed the movement of people in the kitchen, remembering every moment. He is quite dutiful, even complying with Kae's more childish requests, understanding them as a way of Kae reclaiming lost experiences due to her station.

Appearance
Batora is a lean man with short brown hair and cloven eyebrows, as well as grey eyes, under which he has noticeable long lines. He wears a grey suit, and brown boots. When inside the house, he wears blue slippers.

Abilities
Batora was shown to be rather weak physically, as he passed out when Kawaki fell on top of him, nevertheless, he had enough strength to quickly carry the heavy stone statue of the Third Hokage, while helping him, Kawaki was tired, and Batora himself was not even out of breath. He is implied to be a skilled baker, as he offered the princess to make a cake instead of her.

In the past, Batora was a talented shinobi, and remains skilled in Water Release.

Kawaki & Himawari Academy Arc
Batora was sent to Konohagakure to serve Kae while she enrolled in the village's Academy. After spending a few days at the Academy, Batora asked if she was satisfied, to which she responded that she was and that she made a new friend. When Kae invited her class-mates for a tea party, Batora oversaw the preparation of the sweets and desserts, though Kae insisted on making the cake herself. During a commotion, Kawaki rushed towards Kae and fell on Batora, briefly knocking him unconscious. After recovering, he showed Kawaki and Himawari around the kitchen, explaining where the cake had been stored. After the party, he supervised the cleaning staff.

Days later, when a group of students decided to investigate the Academy's Seven Mysteries, Kae joined them and had Batora fake them with Kawaki's help. When one of the mysteries was seemingly real, they chased a shrouded figure, and eventually discovered they were Shino's insects cleaning the Academy.
