Appearance[]
Hiroko is a tall, fair-skinned woman with short red hair and "steely" gray eyes. She wears the standard attire of a Konohagakure ninja, but in a manner resembling that of Iwagakure, with a missing left sleeve and a lapel on her left side, which conceals her Chakra Enhanced Triple-Bladed Claw from view. She also wears a black forehead protector which is slightly off-center, tilted to the left.
As an ANBU member, she wore the standard uniform with a few deviations. She wore a black suit, grey flak jacket and sandals, with a boar mask resembling her father's with fewer markings, but did not wear the standard arm guards and wore her claw in view instead of carrying a katana. Upon becoming a team Captain, she wore a white cloak in addition to her uniform. Her ANBU tattoo is on her right shoulder.
