A master of Lightning Release himself, he sought to earn fame his own way, deciding to do it by mastering the greatest lightning justu in Kumo. Through his teammate, Mamoru, he was able to achieve this, & become one of Kumo's greatest rising shinobi, the Electro Bringer, an adept avatar of the electric art.

Early Life
The Land of the Lightning was probably the worst off in the aftermath of a. Plagued by natural disasters, it made living life in that country almost a living hell. But the people of the Land of Lightning were tough, brave, prideful. Some even called them arrogant. But no, truly they are just proud people, loyal to their home until the very end.

This is where the story of Kei begins. The son of the renowned, bodyguard to , he was born during a time of strife for the Lightning Country. When most wouldn't recommend having a child. But C, the-ever-loyal Hidden Cloud shinobi, did. It was to help the Lightning Country, who had begun to fall short of great shinobi after the war. Ones of amazing caliber had died in the war, or were stuck rebuilding what could in the Lightning. Terrorized every day by the memories of their fallen comrades. This experience made C realize he was mortal, and could die any day. Upon returning to his home, he quickly went back to his dark-skinned fiancee, and soon fathered a child by her. This child, would come to be named Kei.

Kei grew up under the care of his mother; as his father was soon called by his friend Darui to take care of the son of Killer B. So at first, Kei came to loathe his father at times, as he barely got to see him. He spent most of his time protecting Mamoru, from those who might hurt him. However, as he grew, he came to respect him, as he was doing what he needed for the village. This was explained to him by his mother, who was his teacher in his early years. This led to Kei being one of the few to know of Mamoru’s existence, and who he truly was at such an early stage of the jinchūriki’s life. Of course, he couldn’t make sense of it at the time.

Kei’s early life was also pestered by constant storms, as a result of the natural energy overload in Lightning Country. He never really had a single home. It was only a matter of time with each house he lived in before he had to move yet again. However wherever he was, he felt at home, under his mother’s care.

It was under that care, and C’s recommendation, more of urging, that brought Kei to the academy. His mother helped him through his studies, and by his own work ethic, Kei began to train on his own, honing his body in order to keep up with the academy’s tests. Kumogakure’s Academy does have a lot of physical work in it. This allowed him to excel in the Academy during his stay.

As Mamoru had begun to stay at the academy as well now, Kei got to spend more time with his father. This allowed for them to bond at least for a short time. He influenced Kei, and Kei became determined to help Kumogakure however he could. This can be traced as the source as Kei’s repeated dedication to his studies and to his training. He bonded with his mother during study, and his dad during training, become a powerful and smart child. He made a bunch of friends, including Enkyo, a fellow clansmen, who he helped out with his expertise.

In the academy, Kei begun to see Mamoru up close and even befriended him. The day Mamoru’s secret was out; he had even forgotten what his parents had told him about him. He really began to question if Mamoru was capable of what they said, the people of Kumogakure. As the graduation exams drew nearer, more and more did the Land of the Lightning’s people oppose to Mamoru’s staying in the academy. So he was taken out. Kei soon had to study and focus on graduating, and with Mamoru’s withdrawl, soon Kei’s time with his father became less and less.

However, he was thankful for the time he had with him, as he had taught him many things. With this, he was able to pass Kumogakure’s academy graduation exams with ease. He was soon put onto a genin team, where he would be pushed to his very limits.

Personality
Duty and wanting of recognition.

These are the two personality traits he has the most. From his father, he gained the sense of loyalty to the Cloud name. Dedicated to the Cloud, he strives to establish Kumogakure is a splendid village. One not to be taken lightly. One that is truly safe. With this sense of obligation to the village, he'd almost anything for the village. He has this innate sense of of duty to Kumo to make the Cloud the best it can be. This extends to his position in the village, as head of its ANBU, and the position he took in the Civil War, in order to protect Mamoru for the better of Kumogakure.

Kei is also a capable leader. As seen during the war, he is capable of making decisions on his feet. He always acts in what he thinks is best for the force, and doesn't risk others without cause. Many in Kumo come to follow him,as they notice his sense to take charge for the better. In the middle of a dire situation, Kei can be known as one of those who keeps his cool, in order to lead a pack. He often keeps a calm and cool, collective nature in most situations. Having been through a war, nothing startles him except the most dire of situations. This unmovable calmness makes him capable of doing the most secret missions, keeping his composure at all times, being a great leader as well able to assess situations and make appropriate solutions.

From his mother, Kei has inherited the feeling of wanting to be known. He aspires to not be overshadowed by those with talent, or reasons to be well-known. He isn't jealous of anyone, he just doesn't like to be taken lightly, or be unrecognized, when he himself does have talent. This trait of his caused him to pursue a Lightning Master career, to be known alongside his childhood friend, one that could've easily overshadowed him. His pursuit to be well-known also caused him to follow his parents wishes and become a high ranking shinobi, that surpasses his father. Seeking recognition is somewhat his drive, and helped him discover his passion for Lightning Release.

He loves the Lightning Release. He gained the affinity for the nature from his father, and in an effort to become well-known besides future heroes and martyrs, he pursued a career in mastering the nature to its fullest. Lightning to Kei could be described as one of his friends. Kei is one of those people, who may observe thunderstorms, because he enjoys the sight of lightning, and also electricity. He understands it, like the back of his hand.

Kei has also been seen to like physical fitness and meditation. In an effort to become stronger, Kei honed his body to the best it could be, matching A and the Third in durability. Having done this in order to be in peak condition (to be the best shinobi possible for the Cloud), he loves to exercise as a pastime. He also likes to mediate on things, and thinks about life often. Because of this, he is very creative, however not as much as Mamoru. He just thinks freely, and many ideas form in his head because of it. As a result of his Black Lightning training with Darui, it is not uncommon to watch him meditating, or thinking about a variety of things, constantly building spiritual energy. And constantly thinking about what's best for his home, the Hidden Cloud.

Appearance
Crystals of blue.

Words used to describe Kei's eyes, which pale out in direct intense light. Complimenting Kei's light white gray mop-head locks of hair, they go along with his youthful face, which framed by his hair's bangs. With a complexion of light milky brown, a combo of his parents skin tones, Kei fits the look of a normal Kumogakure resident, on the contrary with his father. Kei has a strong, youthful build to fit his extreme durability, and the peak he has trained his body into.

As for attire, Kei sports a variety of clothes, unique as a shinobi. He usually wears some collared long sleeve shirt, either yellow, or dark blue in nature. Resembling the shirts that go under suit coats, one could say Kei has a sense of dressing nicely and presentably. However, at times, it can be noted to be untucked, or partially unbuttoned. Kei usually sports the opposite tie color, in relation with his shirt. Yellow tie on blue shirt, and blue tie on yellow. Though his tie can be black or reddish pink as well. This makes his ties stand out, and shows more prominently his good dressing style.

Over the dress shirts, Kei also has two kinds of jackets. One hooded, one not. The hooded one is dark blue in color and made of a light but durable fabric, denim, extending down when worn almost to Kei's knees. Outlined at the shoulders, around the hood and down the zipper lines with dark gold, make it pleasing to Kei. The zipper seems to made out of metal, plates that lay together and are zipped to connect. He commonly can be seen with it, especially when with the ANBU. His other jacket is white in color, and is collared much like his dress shirts. Outlined with yellow, black and blue lines, it shines in the light. Also pleasing the Kumogakure shinobi, he uses it casually usually to not compromise stealth during missions.

Kei wears darker pants, with many pockets. In the rungs at the top, a belt loops around, however, this is only for show, as it isn't very practical in combat. The belt is an unnecessary accessory for the shinobi. Chains also loop from the pockets, and the belt, which are suspected to be used in Kei's battling style. He seems to sport blue sneakers for footwear, especially efficient and capable for running hard, and hard terrain.

Other accessories of the Kumo ANBU head include his fingerless gloves, blue or black in color. Excellent conductors for lightning as well, the fabric they're made out of. A red ring, solid in nature, is sported on his wrist. Actually a vambrace, unique to Kei, he uses it for forceful strikes, and to focus lightning and electricity. On his ties, he can be seen with clips of metal on them. Though, not often.

Speed
Kei is naturally fast, a sprinter of sorts. He has high speed endurance, and easily considered a quick human, even without lightning assisting him. He can keep pace with most shinobi, and is known as the fastest shinobi in Kumogakure (without chakra enhancement). His speed spreads to his handsigns and jutsu execution, he can do those faster than a normal shinobi. He is also quick to recover from attacks, or blows.

Abilities
Kei is a powerful shinobi, who is strong enough to serve as a bodyguard to the Raikage. A master of lightning, he has come to tame the powers of Hell Stab, and make them his own. Many fear facing him just because he has mastered the Third Raikage's greatest technique, and on top of that, improved it. Also, Kei has great skill in taijutsu as well, along with the other art of genjutsu. He also has powerful reserves of chakra, which assist him in dealing out powerful lightning techniques. Kei's mind also helps him put to together battle solutions, and how to use his chakra efficiently in battle, so he can bring out the many capabilities of his.

Taijutsu & Durability
Rough, powerful and durable.

Kei doesn't look pretty huge, but he sure packs a mighty punch. His taijutsu style revolves around dominating the opponent, with his honed physical strength. After training in the Cliffs of the Land of Earth for so long, he has peaked his physical ability, using the Strong Fist style of fighting.

A single punch from Kei seems to be able to shatter rock on average, a testament to his strength. His speed and agility are tremendous, able to keep up with most fast paced animals, even cheetahs. This is even more augmented by his Lightning Release Armour, which brings him to a new peak of those things, capable of keeping up with the legendary Fourth Raikage, A, and land his powerful strikes in a flash, a streak of lightning. His kicks seem to be enough to break bones.

Kei is also very durable, capable of taking a direct beating from a person enhanced by the first two Eight Gates, and still continue to fight like usual. He is capable enough to keep up with them at his natural honed speed, and with Lightning Release Armour, even surpass them in speed, and power. Kei is also resistant to pain, refusing to be deterred from say a broken arm. He would continue to fight even then, while most wouldn't. This is also a testament to his stamina in a fight.

Kei combines his taijutsu with Lightning Release Armour, and other lightning jutsu. This allows him to fight in the unique Lightning Release Nin-Taijutsu, where he seamlessly puts together Lightning Techniques like Hell Stab into the battle, along with his own physical ability. He can quickly follow up a punch with a Lightning Release Stream, or a lightning construct. He could integrate his constructs of lightning into meelee combat, such as fashioning a blade of lightning, to fight with during combat.

Kei's timing for taijutsu is precise, and when he works with lightning, he is one and the same with it. Lightning Strikes done by Kei are quickly followed up by blows, like lightning is his partner during a battle. Kei also uses lightning as an extension of himself really, with Lightning Release Armour, Hell Stab, and their manipulations, converting their shape into various constructs he can weave into combat with himself. They can serve a extra reach for a strike, or to stop an opponent if they ever got behind his speed. Kei's taijutsu is electrified with lightning chakra, and is powerful, with or without it.

Kei's powerful body seems to be directly related to his lightning affinity, and his pituitary gland.
