Sakyo

is a missing-nin hailing from Kumo. The son of J, the Kumo jōnin who tailed Killer B's captors at the risk of his own life, he grew up with the standards of surpassing his father, who had already proved to be a competent shinobi with potential. However, there was the small problem of the academy, as Sakyo's inability to utilize the Kumo hallmarks, namely kenjutsu, lightning release, and taijutsu/nintaijutsu proved detrimental to his progress. Once finally attaining the genin rank due to his aptitude with the some basics, he jumped ship from the village, becoming a missing-nin in the process. Now, he seeks a way to attain his own power independent of the skills expected of him.

Trivia

 * One of the english translations of the name Sakyo is "Left Capital", a reference to his desire to become strong in his own way. It can also be seen as an insight into his future plans, as he left Kumo, arguably the capital of the Land of Lightning.
