Hakkaku


 * Anime Debut: Episode 168
 * Voice Actor: Eddie Frierson

Hakaku is a Cooking-nin from Land of Lightning. He went to the same cooking-nin academy as Teuchi. Many years later, he kidnapped Ayame, Teuchi's daughter, to get the "Demon" recipe, which didn't exist. Teuchi's secret was just to get rid of the bitter taste of the soup. His food made everyone who ate it keep on eating it, making them fat. Only when it came to Teuchi's new soup made by Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Choji Akimichi was Ayame rescued and the soup now helps out Hakaku and his followers. Since he and Teuchi went to the same cooking-nin academy, it is possible that Hakaku was a cooking-nin of Konoha and is a Missing-nin of said village, this is more supported as Hakaku wore a cloak to enter the village and no one saw his face.
