Yoippari Hakumei

Hakumei is a member of the Yoippari clan, the last son of the late Ōsametō, former clan leader. Since his youth, he'd had a strong admiration for his father's abilities and his proficiency using their Kekkei Genaki; his prowess with the Aogan earned him the respect of the entire clan and he was called the most prominent user of the Dōjutsu in modern times. Being his father's youngest son, he emulated him in every way possible and even before he entered the Ninja Academy, told himself he would someday become his father's equal.

Such a weighted title wouldn't come without hardships however. Hakumei was a gentle boy in his youth and as such, many questioned if he had the heart to commit to life as a shinobi. His goal drove him, however, and he persevered through the Academy, working hard to progress and make the best marks he could get. While he was average is most fields, his scores in senjutsu were astronomically ahead of the rest of his class and he gained a fair amount of attention for this.

As a Genin and even into his Chūnin years, Hakumei continued to hone his abilities using the Aogan. Eventually, he found that he would commonly be looked to by his teammates to gather accurate intelligence in situations in which drawn-out interrogation was not possible. Gaining some recognition due to this, he was tapped by the Senjutsu Butai when he turned sixteen, and since then has worked in the division to crack codes, interrogate prisoners and generally gather intelligence and compile it into usable data.

Hakumei was promoted to Jōnin at the age of twenty-three for his service over his life. While he has not attained the level of respect his father once had, he has earned a good amount of attention from those of his clan for his prodigious usage of the Aogan.

Hakumei is a respectable and decent man, something to be expected given his position in his clan. In his youth, he was known for his gentle heart and inability to see others in pain. However, as he has grown, he has learned to suppress this side of himself since it is not conducive to his job as a shinobi. Commonly, the only people he allows his gentle side to come out around are those who are members of his clan. He finds it difficult to make friends with people outside of the clan, so very few people his own age know of this side to him.

Externally, Hakumei is an incredibly calculating figure. He is highly observant and is commonly silent because he is playing out scenarios in his head. He's now emerged as a prodigiously intelligent individual, quick to utilize tactical methods to find himself a way from trouble. In his discourse with other Kumogakure shinobi, he is seen a sort of workaholic since they only see him worrying about his duties to the village.
