Ochitsuku

"This island's blood flows through my veins like water. I will not let you harm my home!"

- Ochitsuku

Ochitsuku (落ち着く, Ochitsuku), widely known as the First Shimakage (初代島影, Shodai Shimakage), is the very first leader of Shimagakure since it's founding. Before his reign, Ochitsuku was a proud member of Shima's ANBU, being known for his creation of Fuejutsu and Kenjutsu.

Appearance
Ochitsuku appears to be somewhat flashy. He wears a bright pink kimono and purple Sashinuki-hakama, which along with his headdress, consisting of a hawk-head with a long flowing cloak. Beneath his headdress is the long golden hair of the Moon Tribe. He also wears tabi socks and tall "platform" geta with single tooth; this would appear to make him easy to knock down, but Ochitsuku moves more skillfully than he lets on. He constantly carries a flute with him that can actually be used as a sword through Chakra Flow. He also has a sword in a scabbard at his side, which he uses in conjunction with his flute.

His appearance echoes that of the Japanese Tengu-bird like mythical beasts that were said to be very skilled in swordplay. His headgear is the shape of a tengu, and also features the typical tengu cap. The geta sandals are actually called "tengu-geta", as tengu were believed to wear geta with one "tooth" in the middle. Ochitsuku's clothes are that of a yamabushi (山伏), the mountain ascetics followers of the syncrethic Shugendō creed. In reference to this, tengu are often depicted dressing yamabushi dress.

 * (To Daimyō) "I suggest you do your job properly, or else--there will be nothing else."
 * (To Enemies) "Tsk, I don't know if you knew this, but I'm Shima's kage. So if you had dreams of corrupting it, than you better erase them."
