Kawaki

is a member of Kara.

Background
During his childhood, Kawaki was originally raised solely by an drunkard and physically abusive man until Jigen bought him with a large sum of money. Taking over his custody, he told Kawaki to make himself at ease from now. At some point later, he received Kāma and ripped out Garō's jaw, the latter he asked forgiveness in doing.

Personality
While much is unknown about Kawaki's personality and views, he is shown to be highly aggressive and foulmouthed to those he dislike or oppose him. At the same time, he can remain calm and collected when questioning strangers, such as when Kawaki listened to Konohamaru Sarutobi's explanation about himself and his team. Kawaki seems to hold a deep grudge against the Kara organisation, becoming highly alert and aggressive when facing off against members of the group. Kawaki also seems to possess a dry sense of humor, seen when Kawaki made fun of Garō's disfigured jaw, which Kawaki himself caused in the past.

Later, Kawaki apparently came to despise shinobi as he became driven to end its era once an for all.

Appearance
Kawaki is a young man with grey eyes and bushy black hair, the sides of which are shaven and blond in colour, a tattoo of the Roman numeral Ⅸ under his left eye, a pair of piercings on his right eyebrow and stud earrings. He wears a shirt with a sleeveless vest jacket with stripe patterns on his collar and dark pants with a studded belt. He has a Kāma on the palm of his left hand in the shape of a diamond, which spreads across the left half of his face, chest, and arm, glowing red upon activation.

Later in life, he is seen wearing a violet infinity scarf and belt, white overalls with his chest exposed, and a black vest trench coat.

Abilities
Kawaki is a strong combatant, able to destroy Garō's jaw and single-handedly destroyed dozens of robotic puppets. His power was also shown even while exhausted to repel Team Konohamaru and fend off Garō. He could compete against 16-year-old Boruto Uzumaki while he used his own Kāma mark and Jōgan. Like Boruto, Kawaki possesses the Kāma mark, which when activated, changes to expand across his body.

Physical Prowess
Kawaki specialises in close-range combat. He shown to be very fast as he easily dodged Garō's blast on him. He is shown very resilient as despite his battered state, he could continue fighting effectively. He later is shown to skilful in using a bō against Boruto's swordsmanship. Similar to Jūgo's Sage Transformation, Kawaki can manipulate his arms in to different shapes such as a scythe. He can also produce a power shockwave from his body, repelling all around, even the ground below him.

Ao Arc
When the blimp that was transporting Kawaki crashed in the Land of Fire near the border, he left the scene, resulting in some of Kara's autonomous puppets pursing him. After travelling a fair distance away from the crash, he defeated all the pursing puppets before falling unconscious.

Kawaki Arc
Upon his body being discovered by Team Konohamaru, the shinobi discovered he had an identical mark to Boruto's. When both their seals began to hurt, Kawaki was dreaming of his first time meeting Jigen, leading to him abruptly waking up and destroying the area within his vicinity. Questioning who the team were, Konohamaru Sarutobi identified himself, and asked for information regarding the crash. Refusing to provide information and wanting to be left alone, Boruto revealed to Kawaki he also had Kāma, resulting in Kawaki believing they were pursuers from Kara. As they tried to correct him, Garō made his presence known, announcing his intentions of recovering Kawaki. Launching another attack, Kawaki dodged and manifested a blade from his arm, which he used to slash the Outer, despite his weakened state.

Flashforward
In the wake of Konohagakure's destruction three years after meeting Boruto, the two faced off on the destroyed Hokage Rock, where Kawaki vowed to defeat him and told Boruto that the shinobi era was over.
