Kenji Sukebi

"I hate slackers more than anything!"

- Kenji

=Background=

Born into the Sukebi clan, Kenji followed in the footsteps of his older brother, Zerzuke Sukebi, as he studied to uphold the clans honor. He respected his brother greatly, and regularly talked with him about their studies. Kenji's days were filled with lessons, with nary a break in between. In doing so he hoped to win the approval of his father and brother as he became a ninja deserving of the clan. However, as Zerzuke became more rebellious, Kenji found less time to speak with him. He grew worried about his brother's behavior, but couldn't do anything about it. Before he knew it, Zerzuke had declared his intention to work on his own terms, saying that the clan had zero say in his affairs. Kenji was mortified at this, and wanted to beg his brother to stop his foolishness, but he had lost all contact with him. Kenji was determined to keep following the path that his brother had given up on, and kept to his studies to this day. He believed that if he were to become a greater ninja than Zerzuke by following the will of the clan before his own, he could convince his brother to come back. Despite his own efforts, however, him and Zerzuke remained evenly matched as ninja. This has frustrated him to no end.

=Appearance=

Kenji's appearance is direct and unassuming, much like himself. He wears the standard garb of a Konoha ninja, a green vest and blue sandals, wearing a protective headband on his forehead. His expression is stern and focused, his green eyes giving off a very dull vibe. His black hair is very short and trim.

=Personality=

Kenji has a very serious atmosphere about him, and takes to his duties with the utmost dedication. There is no task he won't refuse if the clan has ordered him to do it. He is very reliable because of this, and his great attention to his studies has made him a very skilled ninja worthy of respect. Despite this, he is very humble and does not like to speak about his successes. His personality and attitude is very different from his brother's, and he takes great pride in this fact. Kenji treats all people with respect, and believes in that there is no honor greater than protecting the village of Konoha and his own clan. Due to his strict adherence to regulations and such, he is unable to think outside of the box on some occasions.

=Abilities=

Kenji uses basic jutsu that every ninja should know and execute. His most valuable technique, however, is the key technique of the Sukebi clan; the, which he has spent years attempting to master. He has gotten a good grasp of it, allowing him to sharpen his kunais accurately without dulling them to the point of uselessness. This in stark contrast to his brother, who had given up on the style on the basis of it being "too boring".
