Kenjiro Kouta

Kenjiro Kouta is a Genin from Konohagakure. Kenjiro is lifelong friends with Jiraiya Uzumaki, and Jun Seika. The three of them have been fast firends since their early years in the Ninja academy. Unlike Jun, and much like Jiraiya Kenjiro didn't feel any real inclination towards becoming a ninja. However unlike Jiraiya, Kenjiro lack of motivation did not come from a self esteem issue. Kenjiro prefers to spend his days goofing off, and being a ninja seemed like far too much work. However when it became clear that Jiraiya and Jun were going to become shinobi Kenjiro too chose to don the Headband. This was not done out of a sense of duty or pride, but rather as a way to stay close to his two best friends. Kenjiro has developed a well known reputation for pulling pranks and playing tricks, and his friends especially are not immune. For this reason many view Kenjiro as being annoying, especially Jun. Kenjiro was assigned to Team 8, much to his chagrin, along with Sato Yamamori and Ichigo Susuki. Kenjiro refers to his team as the "Loser Squad" since he views his team mates as having lame personalities, and none of them are well suiuted to direct combat.
