Shamo

is a young shinobi from Iwagakure.

Background
Growing up in Iwagakure, Shamo was raised by his grandmother. He had a tendency to cause her lots of stress.

Personality
Shamo is a friendly and approachable young man, offering to help Boruto with a jammed window when they first met, and assuring him everything was fine despite hurting himself. Despite being a shinobi, he is easily scared, readily asking for help during Ōga's experiments. He is also gullible, easily swayed by a pretty girl, eager to earn her affection. His greatest desire is to make his grandmother proud of him, keeping a photo of her with him.

Appearance
Shamo has short brown hair, with a spiky tuff in the front, dark green eyes, a three freckles on each cheek. He wears a dark red vest over a white long-sleeved shirt, and a small red bandanna around his neck. He also wears dark red shorts with a shuriken holster on his right leg, black sandals, and a red elastic Iwa forehead protector.

Abilities
Shame can use Earth Release to produce large walls, but they're thin and fragile, readily breaking under Boruto's touch. He is strong enough to carry someone a bit taller than himself.

Labyrinth Game Arc
Shamo first met Boruto on the Thunder Train, and offered to help Boruto open his jammed window, but failed and hurt his hand in the process, assuring Boruto that he was okay, and promptly returned to his seat. Shamo and all the other passengers fell asleep and they found themselves in a secluded room once they regained consciousness. Shamo attempted to talk Kiseru into conserving his strength after failing to break out, and ended up accidentally hit. Ōga revealed himself and proceeded to conduct his experiments. During the first one, Shamo almost fell to his death from the unsteady platform they were put in, having to be saved by Boruto twice. Shamo helped a girl with a twisted ankle to the ladder.

When Ōga sent them on the next experiment, he gave them candles that were symbolised their lives, them dying if the flames went out. When he explained their rules, Shamo asked if it was safe for them to let someone else hold their candle, Ōga clarifying that they wouldn't die unless the candle went out in someone else's hand. While going though a water-filled area, Shamo carried a girl on his arms, acting chivalrous. In the next room, he along the other shinobi helped protect the non-shinobi from a dust storm while they protected the entire group's candles. Shamo tried using an earth wall at first, but it was weak, so he just shielded them with his own body. He went own ahead with the girl he liked, but she abandoned him after he helped her up a wall. The rest of the group came across him as they caught up, and near the end, he was dismayed when the girl he liked had attached herself to Rokuro. They had to take a slow-moving elevator, and realised that their candles wouldn't last the entire ascent, Ōga intending them to steal each other's candles. Boruto exploited the exact wording of Ōga's rules to make one long candle with the remains of everyone else's, shared by all, so they all survived the ride, clearing the experiment.

While waiting for the next experiment, Shamo told everyone of his goal to make his grandmother proud of him. When Ōga returned to begin the next experiment, the "Collapse" test was selected. The group was teleported to another room. Shamo found a button and decided to push it. It caused the ceiling to slowly descend on them. Shamo frantically began pushing the other buttons, causing more dangers to appear. Finally, the last button revealed a few chambers for people to squeeze into to escape being crushed. Boruto discovered that the floors weren't completely solid as the water seeped through. He promised to get Shamo out safely. Inspired by this, Shamo calmed down and used his Earth Release to hold up the wall for as long as possible while Boruto and others made the effort to break through. Ultimately, Batta was convinced to help, who was able to find the weak point in the floor, letting Boruto break through to save everyone.
