やぐら Yagura
Fourth Mizukage (四代目水影, Yondaime Mizukage)
Debut
Manga Volume #49, Chapter #458
Yagura (やぐら, Yagura) was the jinchūriki of the Three-Tails and the Fourth Mizukage (四代目水影, Yondaime Mizukage, Literally meaning: Fourth Water Shadow) of Kirigakure. When the Three-Tails was captured by Akatsuki, it had no host and roamed out in the wild.
Background
Yagura, being the strongest shinobi in his village at that time, was elected as the Fourth Mizukage at a very young age. During his reign, he was known to have no tolerance for any form of treachery against the village and he reinforced its nickname as "Village of the Bloody Mist" (血霧の里, Chigiri no Sato) by the barbaric ritual where Academy student's would be forced to kill each other in order to graduate. The practice was discontinued when an entire graduating class of students was massacred by a young Zabuza Momochi.[1]
