The Hōki Family (ホウキ族, Hōki-zoku) is a matrilineal shinobi clan (and family) of medical-nin and information gatherers from Sunagakure, who originated in and moved down to the village of Konohagakure.
The members of the family are also called "people who work behind the scenes" and, until the events of Gaara Hiden, were never placed in the centre of Sunagakure's government. The women of the family don't show their faces without make-up to any man, with the exception of the one they're going to marry.
