Kotaro Terumī

Kotaro Terumī (てるみコタロ, Terumii Kotaro) was member of the main branch of the Terumī clan who lived during the Warring State Period.

Background
Like his, father Kotaro was a talented shinobi but most of all he was born to be a hero.

One day, at the age of six, he and his cousins where playing near the camp when they were ambushed by four ninjas from an enemy clan. Since Kotaro was in company of Miyuno who was four years old and Hideaki who was five at the time, he scarified himself by fighting the enemy long enough to let his cousins escape.

His cousins fled to the camp and told Mai what was happening. Sadly, by the time Mai arrived, her son was dead. Blind by rage, she then proceeded to hunt down her son killers and murder them.

Because of Kotaro’s sacrifice, Akemi created the clan tradition known as “Sacred Song” in which a member of the clan sings a song during a funeral to help the spirit of the deceased find the spirits of its ancestors and the way to the afterlife. The first person to sing was Mai during her own son’s funeral.

Personality
Kotaro thought it was the duty of the strong to protect the weak, as he had seen his parents do so during his whole life.

Kotaro was cheerful and kind. He was often seen smiling friendly and used to be the one who stopped the fights between the clan kids. He also loved to hear his mother singing and used to humming her songs all the time.

Overall, Kotaro was brave. He was not afraid of facing an opponent more powerful than himself if with that he gets to help someone.

Appearance
Kotaro was a short boy with messy curly red hair and green eyes.

Abilities
As a member of the clan Terumi, Kotaro was trained since he was four. Masato personally took care of his training and soon enough Kotaro showed talent.

By the age of six he was proficient at shuriken jutsus and fire release jutsus.
