A (Third Raikage)

The was the leader of Kumogakure thirty years prior to the Fourth Great Shinobi World War.

Background
The Third's rule was plagued by the berserk attacks of the Eight-Tailed Giant Ox. As they could not dispose of such a valuable war deterrent, he was forced to look for a suitable jinchūriki. He also made it a personal duty to combat and re-seal the Eight-Tails in a special sealing pot when the jinchūriki failed to master it, opting to extract the beast (which would result in the jinchūriki's death) for a more favorable host. With the selection of Killer Bee as the beast's host, the Eight-Tails' rampages were brought to an end.

Appearance
The Third Raikage has a muscular, bodybuilder-like stature, a slightly bulbous nose like Darui's, a beard and similar dark pigmented eyes to Kakuzu and Hanzō (in the manga). His teeth are deformed and not in a straight line, some of his teeht are missing too. He has the tattoo for lightning on his right shoulder and a lightning shaped scar that runs from his neck across his right breast. He also wears the one-strap-over-one-shoulder flak jacket with no other clothing underneath and has a thick rope belt.

Abilities
Since he was the Third Raikage, he was without a doubt a very strong shinobi. He appeared to be a skilled fūinjutsu-user as he could easily seal the Eight-Tails in a pot
