Kaito Tachibana

Takeo Akyama ( 赤 山  タ ケ オ ,  Akayama Takeo) is an oc created by FreakishElk. He is a chūnin-level shinobi  from Kirigakure, a member of the Akayama clan and partners with another kiri-nin oc; Akira Yuki.

* Any critiques on how to improve him are most welcome!!

Background
Despite Kirigakure's civil war, Akira had a very pleasant childhood. During this time, those who possessed a kekkei genkai were feared and hated for their abilities, out of concern that their existence would only bring out more war. Many clan's went into hiding.

Akira's family lived on the outskirts of Kiri. Her father, being apart of Kiri's ANBU unit, kept a watchful eye on the village's movements, anticipating anyones plans that put his wife, Kōri and Akira in any form of danger.

Appearance
Takeo has fair-skin and brown spiked hair similar to both Kakashi's and Sasuke's. He usually has blue eyes that seem to shade to a light brown when not in Kirigakure. This may be because of Kiri's water reflecting on his eyes.

Takeo's outfit consits of creamish-brown top with two clips attached to hold the peice together. The tops seems to be tucked into grey-brown pants that stop below his knees. He wears black shinobi sandals and a black forehead protector that rests confortably across his forehead. Takeo's shuriken hoister is of a different design to the default hoister. Takeo's consists of two straps and only one shuriken pouch where as the default consists of only one strap with two shuriken pouches. It is noted that he does not wrap bandages around his leg like other shinobi do.

Nature Transformation
Despite not specialising in it, Akira posseses high ninjutsu skills. She has proven to be highly skilled in  Water Release techniques, being able to perform jutsu without a nearby water source. She is also capable of the Hidden Mist Jutsu. By perfoming this jutsu, she creates a vast amount of mist which enables her to obscure her movements and protect her allies.

As a member of the  Yuki Clan,  Akira possesses the kekkei genkai;  Ice Release. Ice Release combines  Water based  and  Wind based chakra  and allows the user to manipulate, create and freeze water. This ice has been seen to be highly immune to  Fire Release  attacks as it does not melt that easily.

Other Abilities
Akira has demonstrated to be immensely fast, been able to keep up with many highly skilled shinobi. She is able to cover considerable distances fast enough to make it appear that she came out of no where. It was shown in a flashback of her childhood that she first discovered this ability when playing hide and go seek with Takeo.

As a medical-nin, Akira has detailed knowledge of the human body. She uses throwing needles to disable her opponent by pin pointing a fatal or near fatal area on the body. During her medical training, Akira created a pill that allows her to hold her breath for longer periods of time. As far, Akira has been the only one seen using this pill, giving the idea that the pill is not publically available.
