Koumei Ren is a relatively light-skinned male ninja of above-average height [6' 3"] with long, dark cerise-colored hair, all reaching down to his waist. His hair is regularly tied in a simple ponytail and frequently messy from a lack of attention. Those who happen to interact with Koumei on a regular basis refer to him as "Shaggy". As far as other physical features go, Koumei is oft characterized by vivid amber eyes and several freckles along the ridge of his nose. In his youth, he began to practice stitch art on his person, as a body modification aficionado. The majority of his stitches, crimson in color, are sewn into his right arm in a coiling pattern akin to a serpent. His constant training regiments have afforded him a well-built, slender physique, though many people perceive him as just lanky with the loose clothes he wears. On his back, he sports a tattoo of an unusual cerise-colored symbol [

]. Moreover, he has tattoo sleeve of blue hues that covers his left arm, portraying a sailfish and surrounding marine ecology. Koumei's typical clothing includes a basic white robe bearing a black taijitu symbol, as well as an array most akin to the big dipper constellation. Over his robe is a pink-colored overcoat with purple trimmings and his name in kanji on the back. Underneath his robe, he usually opts for a sleeveless black shirt with matching armbands, pants and sandals, complete with a waist-guard over a black sash. Tucked into the front of the sash is a single titanium wasp knife positioned for mobility. In addition, he oft wears matching blue-beaded bracelets on each wrist and a large heart-shaped earring in his left ear. Lastly, Koumei tends to wear a blue rope belt around his waist, tied in a bow, in which he carries a two scrolls of significance. The the first and larger scroll is known to be the summoning contract for monkeys; the second and much smaller scroll serves as storage for his combat puppet collection Also tied to the belt is his mask,

It is also able to open up at the mouth area; vertical lines appear, giving it the look of teeth. Whenever Koumei is traveling, he makes sure to wear a simple black tool pouch connected to the back of his rope belt along with a standard giant folding fan strapped across his back for fūton techniques.

Currently, Koumei is predominantly characterized as being cynical, yet eccentric. In the public sphere of society, he is best defined as a true realist whom scorns humanity's trends with an unwavering sense of pragmatism. Left to his own devices in private, his passions (animals and puppets) and hobbies (cooking and engineering) occupy the bulk of time he doesn't spend cleaning, eating, or sleeping. Born into a career of puppetry, Koumei seeks to elevate the fighting style centered around it to greater heights of acknowledgement. To this effect, he maintains an expansive workshop as a 'home' of sorts for the gargantuan collection of combat puppets he has amassed over the years, and strives to increase the collection until the day he dies. Moreover, his passion for collecting puppets is compounded by his hobby of perpetually installing and upgrading all of the mechanisms in each of them. The driving force behind his modifications is to one day see the individual worth of his creations equivalent to no less than a dozen ninja, therefore, he is relentless in his pursuit of improvement. In society, Koumei prefers to keep his distance and stay aloof, as gossip and trivial matters hold no interest in eyes. He is even apathetic to the political turmoil of his village, and instead opts to manipulate as many factions as possible.. so as to acquire new technologies and more opportunities to 'test' his creations. All things said, the only village-related phenomenon Koumei expresses any true interest in is economics, specifically inter-village trade. Now, on the field of combat, Koumei's behavior is essentially a 'one-eighty'. He doesn't believe in honor, and is so merciless that his foes describe him in a manner akin to a feral beast. Even if an ally or comrade should interfere with his personal agenda, he won't hesitate to cut them down without even the slightest bit of remorse. As little as Koumei should be trusted, he trusts his peers even less - only as far as he can throw their severed heads - and is selective of who he goes on missions or outings with. He enjoys raining/stormy weather, as it 1) gives him an excuse to be in his workshop when at home; 2) naturally removes most evidence of his involvement in any battles or experiments.

"Did you ever think about changing the world at its very foundations?" - Koumei

| Land of Wind Capital | ➟ | Southwestern Border | ➟ | Sunagakure | ➟ | Southern District [ now ]

Koumei Ren was born to a respectable, albeit ruthless couple of well-to-do merchants in a seaside district of the Land of Wind's capital. In addition to maritime trade, the family owned a local pub: it was the place his parents discarded him - to be informally raised by a staff comprised exclusively of former ninja. It was a rough environment that would have easily casted him out if he ever showed weakness. To progress, he had to rely solely on his own skills, developing a formidable tenacity in order to endure his hardships in the kitchen. With time, his person devolved to ruffian-esque behaviors and began picking fights with various people, typically drunk sailors. Eventually becoming an eyesore and the source of public ridicule, his parents coldly decided to ship him off to Sunagakure - to live with his maternal grandparents, whom were in fact retired members of the Puppet Brigade. Under their diligent tutelage, the now adolescent Koumei began to learn about the fundamentals of chakra and the specialized field of ninjutsu known colloquially as puppetry. The art, he found, was something he had an innate knack for - just like cooking: he was allowed to be as creative as he pleased, and gladly did so. Realizing their grandson's prodigious skill they soon made haste to have him attend Sunagakure's Ninja Academy. Over the years, Koumei has climbed the Sunagakure military hierarchy and made a name for himself, not only as a remarkably talented lightning user and puppeteer, but also as an eccentric individual utterly enthralled by his pastimes and war tactics. Since the other great nations have begun to acquire new territories in distant regions, Koumei hopes to serve as part of the vanguard in Sunagakure's own attempts in the not too far off future. For the time being, he busies himself with standard missions and, producing prosthetic limbs for military personnel, civilians, and even various animals. Recently, he has also been tasked by the military's upper echelon with designing new weapons for combat, and has begun investigating both chemical warfare and sonic devices for mechanisms - to be integrated in combat puppets. Moreover, he has initiated a personal research venture seeking to observe all known Kekkai Genkai distributed across the 'Five Great Shinobi Countries'. His intent is to systematically analyze the plethora of genetic elemental abilities and ultimately, be able to reproduce the powers in his countless puppets via mechanical and scientific phenomenon. In addition to sating his ever-inquisitive nature, success would mean a great increase in Sunagakure's military power.

Water Affinity: Soon after delving into the field of elemental ninjutsu, Koumei received a small slip of paper, which had been made from a unique tree grown and fed with chakra. Upon streaming just a teensy sliver of his chakra into the paper, he observed that it suddenly became damp. Years later, and with much training behind him, Koumei found that his knack for suiton meant he was able to precisely perform most suiton techniques with just one hand-seal.

Puppet Specialist: Koumei is a ninja who has learned the unusual and underrated branch of ninjutsu known as the puppet arts. He is easily able to create multiple chakra threads via the Puppetry Technique and frequently uses highly advanced combat puppets to fight. Tailored to his peculiar fighting style, Koumei always keeps a small scroll on his person, within which he houses all of his puppets. Any of his future puppets will also be stored in the scroll.

Sensor Type: Koumei is a ninja capable of detecting the presence of other people by directly sensing their chakra. A skilled sensor, he can easily detect targets from a great distance, as well as differentiate nearly all ninja by their chakra signature(s) alone. The height of Koumei's prowess is evident by his capacity to identify one's clan lineage based solely on their chakra, granted that he has directly observed multiple clan members (at least 6 individuals).

Monkey Summoner: Koumei, during his time abroad, was granted the privilege of becoming one of just a select few individuals who are tied to the Monkey Contract. He has learned to summon a plethora of powerful monkey allies and has bonded with them all to the extent that they can cooperate with him in near-perfect tandem when fighting, side by side. His usage of them is such that he earned the special title of 'shishou' and has taken on multiple pupils.
