DESCRIPTION OF BODY (BUILD, HEIGHT, UNIQUE FEATURES, ETC.): Kano stands at an even 6', finally catching up to most of the people in his village. His build is still rather slim but since joining the Coalition. There are tattoos around his forearms and at the base of his chest. Since becoming a Chunin, he has added an orange layer atop the red flames. As he progresses through the ranks, the flames were grow further and further along his body, until he is completely covered with them.

HAIR COLOR AND STYLE: Red hair, rather spiky, and somewhat long. Currently looks like a wildfire, reaching down to the middle of his back now. His goal now, though, is for its length to reach the ground.

EYE COLOR: orange

VILLAGE: Village Hidden in the Volcano

HISTORY: Kano was never the tallest boy in the village growing up, as a matter of fact, he was always the smallest. Height was a focal point in his village. The taller you were, clearly the stronger you were as well. Right from the start, poor Kano was ridiculed for being short. To top it all off, he was practically shunned by the elders! All he ever wanted was to be the top ninja, but nobody would train the shrimp of the village.

The rules of training had changed when the new Kage took leadership of the village. He established a real Ninja academy, one in which all students were trained equally, but still able to work on their own individual skills. Kano was over-joyed! Now there was no excuse as to why he wouldn't be able to become a ninja. He excelled at the basics in the academy and quickly found himself moving along with the other students. It was true that he wasn't nearly as strong as the others, but it didn't matter to him. He was faster than they were. Where they had strength, he had speed and stamina. He was able to avoid their blows much more easier than they were able to avoid his.

Because he still was not as strong as the others in his class, many teachers scrutinized him and he was still constantly reminded of his height. Eager for a chance to prove that he was just as good as any of the others, he entered the ninja tournament to decide who would represent their village in the Coalition Academy. It did not seem as though the fights would go in his favor, but one by one the others fell. He constantly avoided their blows, and the more they tried to hit him, the more tired they became. When they showed signs of fatigue, Kano struck with a ferocity that matched any of their strength. When the final battle was over, and Kano the last man standing. The village Elders and the Kage had no choice but to send Kano Kurosaki, the shortest of the entire village, to be their representative.

Over the years in the Coalition, Kano has risen to the rank of Chunin. He returned home shortly thereafter in order to receive his celebratory tattoo enhancement. During his time back home, he had the opportunity to complete a contract with the Fire Salamanders that dwell in his Village's Volcano. It was an achievement he very much had sought after since first hearing tales of their existence. He returned to the Coalition sporting his new level of tattoos, a larger coat to replace the one he had grown out of, as well as a very hot little companion that continually circled his heels. It was a small salamander, but he enjoyed keeping them about him as long as his chakra held out for the summoning.

ANY SERIOUS PHYSICAL OR MENTAL CONDITIONS:

HOBBIES: Kano enjoys practical jokes and is not above doing them to his fellow squad members, but when he's not fooling around, you can find him training as if his life depended on it. He is always on the path to improve himself as he strives for acceptance from his village elders.

PERSONALITY: Kano is eager to prove himself in the eyes of his village. He trains as often as he can, constantly strengthening himself and often pushing himself to exhaustion; all in the hopes of being recognized.

ANY PETS OR BLOOD CONTRACTS: Kano has entered into a contract with the fire salamanders that dwell in the heart of his village's volcano. At his current level, he lacks the chakra necessary to summon one larger than a horse.
