Asanuma Kinnojo

Asanuma Kinnojo (きんおじょあさぬま, Kinnojo Asanuma) mostly known as Asa is a chūnin-level ninja from the village of Kokorogakure.

Appearance
Asanuma is a short and rather shrimpy teenage boy. Asanuma has light blue colored hair and lavender-colored eyes. Asanuma's casual attire consists of a light blue colored polo shirt and black pants.

Personality
Asanuma has a very heartfelt personality. Asanuma has a great sense of courage and devotion as a shinobi, believing that it is duty to protect his allies and the village in which he resides in. Despite how he was treated by the villagers of Kokorogakure, Asanuma never thought of himself less. Instead Asanuma strived to think himself less and decided that he would ignore the poor treatment exacted upon him by the villagers. Asanuma decided that it would be best to respect the other villagers of Kokorogakure, hoping that one day they would respect him in return. Faithful is another way to characterize Asanuma, whenever Asanuma promises someone something he will do his best to carry out that promise.

At his worst Asanuma is a very envious child. Throughout his whole childhood he sat back and watched the other villagers in their happiness. Asanuma often longed to have a regular life like the others within his village and naturally felt like an outsider. Asanuma developed a rather low self-esteem as a result. Asanuma doesn't like admitting it but at times he feels jealous of those who have what he does not. Asanuma often fights his envious feelings however, he doesn't let his jealousy get a hold of him and will never let it be the cause of any anger he feels. Asanuma uses his jealousy as a means for determination as he will often vow to gain what others have, in most cases this applies to gaining friendships with others.
