[Personality as defined by RPer]
Like most Akimichi, he's a connoisseur of food. Being "heavy" he is a very truthful and holds honor and loyalty to the village he serves in high regard's. His family and friend values are the same, meaning if he had to he would lay his life on the line for them. Choumji has a somewhat peaceful nature about him, almost sage like in some aspects. When angered, he is probably the last person on earth you would ever want to meet. Same could be said about any Akimichi.

[History]
Born of the Akimichi clan, Choumji has been referred to as the fat man or the master chef when he was growing up. A younger Choumji would probably be known as the fat kid in the class, with pudgy cheeks. Though this name didn't anger him, or make him feel bad at all. You see, Choumji accepted his size, he loved food and as an added bonus it was good for him to be fat especially being from his family. He remembers the first day of the academy, it was the day he met Ino'ta and Shika'suji. That day would go down in infamy in Choumji's mind, for it was the day when a great friendship was formed.

Throughout the academy, you would see the various cliques of kids, the popular ones, the tough ones, the emotional ones [emo's] and then you had the outcast's. Choumji, Ino'ta, and Shika'suji made up the outcasts but they didn't care, they had each other and always had a good time so the name wasn't all that bad. Choumji and Ino’ta and Shika’suji always hung out and trained together, seeing as it was natural seeing as their parents did the same. As the years would go on, they would have to face the trial of graduation, which back in their day consisted of sneaking up on Akira Zenagata, most of the students passed. This is what led to the later on development of a different ninja test, one that would be harder and would show skills of the student. From their graduation onward, it was up to them to stick together as they were assigned to the teachings of a man they barely knew, Ushura.

Their time spent under his training was by far the harshest time of their lives, they had to get up at dawn and run seven miles no matter the weather. Then they had breakfast after that was strength straining, and by strength it meant holding a big rock over your head while standing on the top of a log. The training was grueling and intense but worth it, it paid off in the end, helping them gain the edge over the competition in the Chuunin exams. The first part of their exam, the team work part was a piece of cake, so to speak. They had a good strategy combined with their own special skills, they still had opposition but between the three of them it was a somewhat simple task. Their completion of the first task made them a worth opponent, but they were split up at the second task having to battle individual creatures, as well as demonstrate their ninja abilities. Naturally Choumji was battling an Ox, and using trickery as well as force he forced the creature into a trip wire and bound its legs, winning him the match.

The third and final match was a tournament amongst the competitors, Choumji was lucky enough to not have to face Shika’suji or Ino’ta in his battles seeing as they both got defeated in their third match, leaving Choumji to fight another kid by the name of Akira. The battle was probably the longest of them they both had fierce determination to win, and in the end it was by sheer luck that Choumji defeated him. Moving up the ninja ladder, Choumji now a Chuunin was selected to lead his former teammates on their first mission into the Mizu no Kuni to accompany a package dealing with the capture of a nukenin. The mission was a success.

As our story moves forward we come to Choumji, now seventeen years old. He was just returning to the village when he came to notice an odd little note. It was written by Ino’ta, and Choumji could recognize her handwriting anywhere. The note only said help, and gave a few numbers which incidentally turned out to be latitude and longitude. The coordinates where to a temple deep in the heart of the desert bordering Sunagakure no sato. There of course was a meeting to discuss a rescue operation, but Chômji wasn't there. He went to the temple on his own, taking nothing with him but a few rations. Upon reaching the temple, he found Ino'ta beaten and tied up in the back room, the sounds coming down the halls told him her captors were close.

War. Not pretty, especially when you piss of the wrong person. The temple was destroyed by his might and rage, he made sure Ino'ta was safe though during it. He had come here to protect her, to save her and now those men knew why Konoha shinobi aren't the kind you mess around with. After the battle, he was looking through the various maps and ruins left by the now deceased captors when he came across it. It was a large shield, which shined with a brilliant light. He took the shield and tied it to his back, then slung Ino'ta over his shoulder as he carried her through the wastelands to a small village on the border of Hi no Kuni, near Kaze no Kuni. They rested there for several days, and it was during these days that the friendship between the two of them blossomed into something more. However they knew they couldn't become lovers, become more then friends. They had to think of Shika'suji, he felt for Ino'ta as well, and Choumji knew this. So in hopes for his friend, Choumji made sure he and Ino'ta didn't push things to far. They had to stay friends.

Choumji, now seventeen or so was well on his way to becoming the powerhouse of a man that in later generations many would come to respect and fear. With what few of the Akimichi clan there were at this time, people understood and respected them for their brawn and dedication. This dedication was put to the test as the war broke out. His clan were used like you would a bomb,dropped into enemy territory and ravage cities, because that's what an Akimichi is capable of, and when Konoha called for them, they showed up, battle hardened, armored and ready for war. It was due to the Akimichi clan, that Konoha was seen as powerful considering their foot soldier giants. Choumji's role was much like his clan, either destroy city a over here or cause a diversion that was big enough to make enemy forces either retreat or become engaged with the one hundred foot tall man destroying their city.

During the second shinobi war, Choumji was separated from his assault cell and sort of cut off from the rest of the military, while being deep in enemy territory. It was in Tsuchi no kuni, that he came to the Four Pillars Temple, a sort of Buddhist monk temple that worshipped and praised the cornerstones of the world, namely the four elemental pillars. The monks greeted the lost Choumji and gave him rest, letting him be a guest in their temple and monastery for a time. It wasn’t long however that Iwagakure military came across this temple and the guest they had so hidden. Choumji was forced to fight off the troops, to protect the temple, seeing as the common soldiers had no respect for holy ground. When the battle was over, he knew it was time to leave, more would come looking for him and he didn’t want to jeopardize the monks lives. On the day of his departure, Ushura, the head monk, came to Choumji with a gift. It was the shield of the great defender, a relic in their mythology said to have been blessed by the sage of six paths himself. The shield was large, heavy, but comfortable, something about it spoke of a destiny to Choumji. He humbly accepted their gift, and has worn it to this day. From here he returned to the military outposts of Konoha, and re-integrated into the assault forces.

After many months of this, he took on a more support role as he re-enlisted the Three shadows, which was the name of his group of friends since the academy and they became main infiltration and information units in the war. Due to the harsh terrain and unlikely event of capture, they had to adopt many guise's, allowing them to blend in with other village locals and pass through without a trace, as most ninja should. From a moral standpoint, Choumji feels the war had more collateral damage then it should have, and is disheartened about his village a little bit. But as we continue on, the three shadows unit becomes a main line of information from within enemy held territory, until they were found out that is.
