Ehō Norimaki

is an Academy student of Konohagakure.

Personality
Ehō is an eager boy. He is deeply committed to becoming a shinobi, and extends his admiration to those who are similarly committed. As a consequence, he is critical of those who show hesitation and indecisiveness. His confident personality allows him to have more withdrawn peers follow him. He enjoys playing Extreme: Shinobi Picture Scrolls.

Appearance
Ehō has black hair that is swept to the right side and brown eyes. He wears a green jacket with a grey stripe near the zipper, a black scarf, and grey pants. His shinobi sandals are brown and open toed.

Abilities
Despite not yet being a shinobi, Ehō trains diligently with his grandfather. During a trial day at the Academy, Ehō had no issue completing any of the physical tasks, only having trouble with the Tree Climbing Practice.

New Era
Ehō took part of a one-day trial at the Academy. He was enthusiastic upon learning the Hokage's daughter would also participate, to the point of wanting to be her rival when they both did well in physical tasks. However, upon learning Himawari wasn't yet sure she wanted to be a shinobi, it vexed him, causing him to act dismissive towards her.

When the group took part in a mission to find a lost cat, he criticised Himawari's indecision, and accidentally knocked over a hornet hive in his frustration. He stopped Himawari from using a flare to signal abandoning the mission, and left with Yuina. Ehō and Yuina managed to find the cat, but ended up trapped in a well. He wanted to use his flare, but Himawari jumped down and convinced him not to, and the three were able to climb out on their own. He apologised for his behaviour, and insisted Himawari hit him in return. Following their trial classes together, the three continued being friends and practising their shinobi skills together.

Chūnin Re-Examination Arc
On the day of the finals for the Chūnin Exams, while practising with Yuina and Himawari, Ehō noticed a group of suspicious men in an alley. Ehō and Yuina followed them to the train station, while Himawari brought Boruto and Mitsuki to help. They witnessed the men kidnap Amado and the genin gave chase, leaving Ehō in awe of their skills.

Kawaki & Himawari Academy Arc
Upon finally entering the Academy, Ehō was happy to be in the same class as Himawari and Yuina. During class introductions, he was annoyed by all the cocky students trying to stand out. He was also surprised to see the much older Kawaki attending class. The biggest surprise was learning about Kae Yukiwari, the foreign exchange student from the Land of Bamboo, being a princess.

When Team 7 taught his class in the Academy, they had the class take part in an exercise to simulate fighting on an empty stomach. When he discovered Mimi Inuzuka eating a candy bar, over being ok with little food and not wishing to take it from others, Ehō took her bar, and her dog bit him. He got into a conflict with Sōru over it, adamant that Mimi's choice was against the purpose of the exercise. Most of the class split between those agreeing with Ehō and those agreeing with Sōru, and they boycotted class the next day, unwilling to study together. Their homeroom teacher Hana talked to Ehō over ramen that night. The following day, her efforts to mending the rift between the students paid off, and they made up, taking part in a picnic and cherry blossom viewing party.
