Biodata

Background

A is the son of Kumogakure's current Raikage and the half-brother of Kaguya Ogata. When Ogata is confronted by Kumogakure forces, A is shocked to see him wield a Kaguya Clan technique, exposing a connection that had not been apparent from Ogata's ordinary appearance. 262

He later attempts to persuade Ogata to return to Kumogakure, appealing to their shared family ties and the clan's reputation. Ogata rejects him completely, and the brothers settle the matter through combat. 265
