Looks Description:
Tategama isn't your generic shinobi that you would find in Konohagakure no Sato. In fact, his dark, sun-treated skin stands out in the most diverse of crowds only complimenting the rather spacious beautifully-tamed afro structured through continual hair-care practices sitting atop his dome. The perfectly crafted hair is only second to the masterful construct which is his body--erected from hours upon hours of training. He is nothing but athletic muscle, porportioned as to not take away from his speed. He usually adorns a normal white gi, with back boardering and a belt to match when not wearing his customary chuunin vest.



Personality Description:

Tategama's personality is tailored around the ideals of Konoha. That being said, his firey and indomitable personality only compliments the "Will of Fire" which is a phrase or name that has become quite popular in Konohagakure. He is a viciously relentless enemy and that is ralso reflected in his loyalty and friendship. He's not one to betray and he remains steadfast in his believes and at times can be quite hard-headed and stubborn.

Beautiful women, loyalty and fried food

Pancake booties, shady characters and fancy food.

"Say it withcho' chest, ya foo'!"

History:  
Tategama was born in Konohagakure like many other of the infants that would eventually enlist to aid the village in their Shinobi forces. Aas he grew up, he realized that the family he was born into lacked any real respect as his father had never progressed past the rank of Chuunin and his mother was never a shinobi. He also realized that  he was quite different, and while no one really said it, he felt as though many did not expect much out of him in the short-term nor the long-term. This only revitalized his spirit though, and through that doubt which many held for him--he strived to train as a young individual before and through the entirety of his time within the academy. Upon the graudation exam, he aced the test and suprised many although not to the point that his family was respected. Realizing this, he entered the rank of genin with the same resolve to excel as he did coming into the academy.

RP Sample:

The dust billowed violently around him. As it settled, the figure would slowly materialized as the pandemonium of his momentum would cease, leaving his form encased in the dirt which had been rustled up in the midst of his descent. Upon his visage being revealed, he would be knelt down to the ground, an enclosed fist directed into the thick surface of dirt below him with his head directed towards the ground. He held it for a second, pushing his knuckes further into the dirt as to reinforce the imprint within the ground before springing into action once again.

The way he moved, one could infer he used the power of both his legs and the arm which maintained a fist into the ground to create his momentum. He pushed off with all three extremities, launching into the air four or so feet as his body spun. As he jumped, his body would remain horizontal and his spin would reflect it, as though a log spinning, though as this occurred his foot would extend and the arc of it would be directed in such a way that his kick would slam into the forehead of his opponent in a more serious situation.

As he descended, the opposite foot would kiss the ground as he pushed himself up again--keeping the spin. As he spun again, this time his elbow would be extended and his arm angle to make his elbow the striking point as he practiced driving his elbow with the momentum of his spin augmenting the physical power.
