Formerly, Wakasa was a member of Kirigakure’s, where he operated under the alias of Nigauri (苦瓜, lit. "bitter melon") and successfully completed many high-risk missions and assignments. It was during this time that he became known as the "Master of the Hidden Mist" due to his unique combination of Water Release techniques and. He served as a leading Anbu operative alongside his brother for six years until he resigned after meeting his future wife Ayume, who caused him to question the morality of his own actions and eventually have a change of heart. While he was first mistrusted by the other shinobi of Kirigakure due to his blood-stained past and connection with Zabuza, Wakasa has managed to rebuild his reputation and regain the respect of his community, mainly due to his level-headed advice and hesitation to commit to violence.

Appearance
Although Wakasa is of average height, he possesses a compact build and broad shoulders that serve to create a more powerful stature. While not overly muscular or massy, he has a strong figure that was crafted by years of training. As swimming is his preferred method of exercise, his physique has been honed by the water, and is characterized by a triangular shape and high muscle tone without bulk. He has thick shoulder muscles, a long flat torso, thin waist, and lean powerful legs, with his calf, arm, and abdominal muscles being quite prominent, although swimming works all of the muscle groups in the body. His wide chest cavity also means he has incredible lung capacity, which has aided him in his Water Release techniques.

Wakasa’s features are somewhat masculine, with a square nose, angular jaw, and wide mouth. While he is considered by many to be somewhat handsome, he himself has described his face as being “rather forgettable,” as it is plain with commonplace features or simply easy to miss. He has found that this has actually served as an advantage while on missions in the past. Wakasa has dark brown hair that is swept over his eyes, tanned skin, and narrow, light blue eyes. He usually sports stubble on his chin, and is rarely seen without something in his mouth, whether that be his vice of choice—a cigarette—a toothpick, or a piece of straw. He typically wears a basic uniform that consists of a black, long-sleeved shirt with a high neck, arm and hand guards, dark trousers with lower leg mesh armor, standard sandals, and a flak jacket that is reminiscent of those worn by the Anbu. His Shinobi headband is tied to the strap holding his sword, which is slung across his back.
