PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE:
Matamune is a devoted man with a healthy work ethic, militant tactics, yet he seems to balance his job with a busy social life. One big thing about Matamune is that he enjoys indulging in his plethora of 'addictions,' as his Assistants and council members call them. Among the many passions he possesses, smoking and drinking sake are among the most common, with sleeping being the only thing he does more (he calls them 'cat naps').

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Matamune is praised as a genius shinobi despite his relatively infamous reputation. In his youth, he was achieved the rank of Genin by eight years old. Admittedly a goof off as a Genin, he wasn't promoted to Chūnin until he was twelve years old but having matured much within the next year, he was promoted to Jōnin in the following year. From there, he inducted into a secret task force known as Hayate Buntai, a squad of shinobi who only reported to the Godaime Kazekage himself. They were his personal operatives who sent out to complete only the most crucial sorts of mission.

Six years ago, upon the death of Gaara, Matamune was selected as the Kazekage elect along with one other candidate. With no real interest in the position, he initially was going to turn down the position until an act of treason committed by the second candidate was brought to light. Seeing no other option, Matamune reluctantly accepted the position although he grew fond of being the Kazekage immediately.
