Gender: Male

Looks: Minato is a fairly tall and slender character and looks unique in certain aspects. His hair is a defining feature being medium length and a bright yellow. Two bangs hang on the sides of his face reaching down to his jaw. This bright yellow hair gave rise to the "yellow" part of his nickname. He wears a traditional Konoha head band around his forehead which keeps the spiky yellow hair out of his oddly bright blue eyes. Minato wears the typical Konoha shinobi clothing in the green flak jacket with a long sleeve blue undershirt and matching long pants. Over that, Minato wears a unique coat that is whitish-gray with orange-red flames lining the bottom. Down the back of the coat is written "Yondaime Hokage" in Japanese Kanji. By all accounts he was considered a good looking and handsome man.
Personality: As a child Minato was very confident in his ability and like Naruto, boasted about his dreams of becoming Hokage later in life. As Hokage he became a very strong and talented leader who believes strongly in the Will of Fire. Those around him grew to admire him and he was well liked throughout the village. Even his enemies had tremendous respect for his strength. In battle he didn't hesitate to take out the enemy in cold blood, but even though he did, he was well aware of the affects his actions had on others. He was very knowledgeable of the world around him and made decisions with precision and intelligence. He knew that sometimes sacrifices had to be made, and sometimes those sacrifices could be devastating. This was best shown when he decided to seal half of the Kyuubi's chakra within his infant child, Naruto, despite knowing it would make Naruto's life very difficult. He did it because he had faith in Naruto and knew that he was the only one who could use the fox's chakra to protect those around him. Minato was a very caring individual who loved his family and his village above all else and was readily willing to give his life to protect them all.

Background Info.
History: When Minato was in the Ninja Academy, his classmate and future wife Kushina Uzumaki thought he looked "flaky" and even "girly". He dreamed of being acknowledged by the Konoha villagers by becoming Hokage, which Kushina considered to be an impossible dream for someone like him. Years later however, when Kushina was kidnapped by Kumogakure ninja, Minato was the only one to pick up on the fact that she was leaving behind strands of her red hair to mark their path. After rescuing her, Minato explained that he had always admired her hair. No longer seeing him as "flaky", she fell in love with him.
According to those who knew him, Minato was a very talented ninja, having been considered a rare genius that appeared only once a generation. He graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of ten, and was added to a genin team under the tutelage of Jiraiya. Jiraiya took a special interest in Minato, and accepted him as an apprentice, amongst other things teaching him the Summoning Technique. Jiraiya even believed Minato might be the Child of the Prophecy, someone who would someday save the world.
In time, Minato was put in charge of a genin team of his own, consisting of Rin, Obito Uchiha, and Kakashi Hatake. During the Third Shinobi World War, Minato led his team on a mission into Kusagakure to destroy the Kannabi Bridge. Because Kakashi had recently become a jōnin, Minato gave leadership of the mission to Kakashi while he went to help Konoha's forces on the front lines. After meeting up with the surviving and out-numbered Konoha ninja, Minato used his Flying Thunder God Technique to destroy the opposing Iwagakure ninja. He then returned to his team, just in time to save Kakashi and Rin from another group of Iwa forces; he was too late to save Obito. When Kakashi and Rin recovered from the ordeal, Minato helped them complete the mission.
When the war ended, Minato, not yet thirty years of age, was chosen to become the Fourth Hokage. At some point during his reign he read Jiraiya's first book. He liked the main character's determination, believing he was just like Jiraiya. Since Kushina was pregnant with their son, Minato informed Jiraiya that they planned to name their son "Naruto" in the hopes that he would be just like the main character and, in turn, Jiraiya. Jiraiya warned them that this would make him Naruto's godfather, but they insisted that this was a good thing.
Because Kushina was the jinchūriki of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, special arrangements had to be made for Naruto's birth. Since the seal keeping the Nine-Tails within her would weaken during childbirth, Naruto would secretly be delivered in a remote location outside Konoha. ANBU would guard the area and Minato would maintain the seal while Kushina went into labour. Soon after Naruto was born they were found by Madara Uchiha. Madara killed all of the ANBU and took Naruto hostage, threatening to do the same to him. Minato was able to take Naruto back, but this gave Madara the chance to escape with Kushina. Minato found a safe place to put Naruto and then teleported to Kushina. He arrived in time to stop the Nine-Tails, having been removed from her body, from killing her, and teleported back to Naruto. Minato reunited mother and son and then went to help defend Konoha from the Nine-Tails.
Minato arrived in the early stages of the Nine-Tails' attack. After protecting the village from its Tailed Beast Ball, Minato tried to reach the Third Hokage to inform him of what had happened. He was stopped by Madara, who tried to send him away. Minato escaped but was followed by Madara. When the two began fighting, Minato struggled to hit Madara, Madara being intangible whenever he was not currently attacking. By carefully timing his Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato was able to strike him during one of these rare moments and apply a seal for the Flying Thunder God Technique to him, allowing him to teleport to Madara whenever he wanted. He placed a Contract Seal on Madara to remove the Nine-Tails from his control, forcing Madara to flee.

Physical Speed: Even without the use of his Flying Thunder God technique Minato was heralded for his tremendous physical speed and reflexes. C described the Raikage's speed and reflexes when clad in his thunder armor as near Minato's. This speed was great enough to react to the forming flames of Amaterasu and dodge them with speeds great enough that the mangekyo sharingan had trouble tracking it. Minato's speed was shown best when catching a falling Naruto before Madara had a chance to cut him with a kunai.
Space-Time Techniques: Minato was shown to be very skillful in space-time techniques. His signature move, the Flying Thunder God Technique, utilized specially marked kunai with his chakra signature that allowed him to slip into another dimension and instantly appear at the location of the kunai. With this technique Minato gained fame throughout the world and easily dispatched groups of enemies in a matter of seconds. Another space-time technique Minato was shown to wield was one that opened a dimensional void and consumed an incoming attack. This attack could then be released where he desired.
Fuuinjutsu: Minato was one of the premier users of fuuinjutsu seen throughout the series. His skill was so high in their usage that he was able to split the Kyuubi's yin and yang chakra in half and seal the two halves into separate vessels. He was also capable of using the Dead Demon Consuming Seal and was well aware of its drawbacks and capabilities. Minato also used a sealing technique that removed a user's control over a summoned beast. He used this to remove the Kyuubi from Madara's control.
