Isamu is an older gentleman. He stands at the large height of six foot [6'] four inches [4"]. He also weighs in at a whopping two hundred [200] and ten [10] pounds. However, most of that weight is pure strength and muscle from his long years of training. He is one of the hotter older men that a lot of women adore and a lot of men envy. His garbs are usually that of a sage; long skirts, kimonos, sandals. However, it isn't rare to see him donning Inuit or Mayan styled clothing; bare chest, unique motifs, animal themed adornments, etc. He's a very traditional man, he uses his clothing instead of his words to portray that to viewers.

Although he is pure muscle and wisdom, his large bald cranium might throw a few people off. His bushy eyebrows and, often, partitioned mustache add to that odd effect. See, Isamu refuses to be put into that of the average variety, which reflect in his looks and words. His clothing is exotic and his head/face will almost always be a bit odd. Nevertheless, the eyebrows and mustache mentioned before are dark, almost purely black. His head-hair would be the same, if he had any. He does have a long, thin, dark beard growing from his chin, which reaches down below his upper chest in a wavy motif. This beard usually cautions people that he is older, or at least wise.

Despite his age, he does keep up with his hygiene, unlike most older people. He keeps his teeth pearly white and his beard and mustache freshly groomed. He does like the ladies, so he has to make sure he's at tip-top shape, both physically, mentally, and handsomely. It's also odd that he has little to no wrinkles or gray hairs. But you could say that his expressions are almost always blank and emotionless, and that he rarely worries about anything. He has no need to frown, furrow, or fret, most of the time. Under his unmarked forehead are beady, yet menacing olive eyes. The color of them can often seem maroon if looked from the right angle, his irises are so small after all.

PERSONALITY INFORMATION
Despite being born in a rowdy and courageous clan, Isamu is more of the reserved and wise type. However, when a woman he deems beautiful or sexually pleasing, he will pounce. Maybe not literally, but he will attempt to engage the woman in romantic conversation. Overall, he will remain a quite source of strength and wisdom until the right moment overcomes him or when he's consumed too much sake. Generally, he is the one to go to for strategic, romantic, and intellectual advice if you feel you need it. Don't be surprised to see him challenge you to a good fight. He adores robust spars and battles.

As stated before, Isamu is both a lover and a fighter, and fighting simply puts a fire in his belly. That could simply be his strong heart and spirit talking, but it is one of his favorite things. Great fighters go accordingly. He simply hates a ninja, samurai, or fighter that refuses to fight or runs away from one. Sure, someone that knows that they are no match, a weak genin against an advanced jounin for example, is an exception to this rule. Obviously someone of equal rank to you shouldn't run from the fight, or at least give up without a fight. Or maybe that's just his motto. Since becoming a rouge ninja, his philosophies and ideals may have been clouded and may have become harsh. But that simply comes with the title, right?

Despite being a rogue ninja, though, Isamu is quite kind, or at least kinder than what he should be for someone on the wanted list. For example, he will not live an adorable kitten in the rain. He'd prefer to place that kitten in shelter and save it from the cruel weather. However, he will not hesitate to flip his kindness into dark and cunning behavior to maim anyone in his way. His wisdom and kindness should not be taken for granted, for his wrath would take its place.

likes: robust opponents, women, travelling.
dislikes: cowards, lady killers, disrespect.
catch phrase: " Spin for me. " | " How admirable. "
nindō: " Soon, I will make the rock country my palace and the rocks my villas. "

HISTORY
Isamu Ko Sarutobi grew up in the heroic village of Konohagakure; the Village Hidden in Leaves. This sinewy village housed and still houses powerful shinobi and legends of the past eras. The Sarutobi were one of the clans in the village to have the most rugged shinobi. They've owned Hokages, ANBU, ROOT members, etc. Their power and skill is barely matched to most within the village. Which held high expectations for people within the clan, Isamu especially. He is the clan leader's eldest child and it was his duty to uphold the Sarutobi name. As a child, kids were slightly afraid to upset a Sarutobi, Isamu in particular. Isamu always felt a sliver of anger and distaste for his family's strong heritage, but thanks to that background of wisdom and strength, Isamu didn't have many people test him.

However, he didn't let his family speak for his strength, he used his intelligence and fists to do the talking for him instead. He excelled in his young studies, but not because of his genes, but because of his diligence and determination. His father's pushing and discipline played a role in his excellent academy grades as well. He refused to let his lineage pressure him into cracking and falling behind. He lived up to his clan's name and graduated from the academy slightly earlier than his comrades. People envied his strength and intelligence, not just his clan. He was one person in Konohagakure that inspired people to do their best. After graduating, he decided he'd train on his own and refused the squad invitations.

Isamu trained in seclusion. He would do most of his training near waterfalls for the extra soothing sounds and the pressure on his back. During his young age of training, his body lengthened and became just as sinewy as his village and his family. Missions and jutsu were a piece of cake for someone of his caliber, or at least the ones he happened to accept during that time. His prowess was recognized by the current Hokage and he was ranked up without the Chuunin Exams. His intelligence began to peak as he ventured outside of the village on expert missions that the Hokage allowed him to do. His eyes began to open wider than before, figuratively speaking. His intelligence would begin to decipher into wisdom over not time. His great skill as a shinobi granted him a promotion in Konohagakure ranks.

Now that he was sixteen, his sexual prowess grew. He journeyed into the world of women and his view of them changed. Yes, he did, and still does, respect them, but he now loves them for more than their wit and odd excellence when it comes to cooking. Some people viewed him as a pervert, but his toned body and 'skills' down low kept the women from refusing him. However, his few decades of strength and bliss were cut short when he realized the flaw in the shinobi system. The village forced their members to stay unless they had an urgent mission to accomplish. Isamu's love of adventuring would not falter because of a measly ignorant rule. Nor would he stand for such a selfish restriction. He loved his family and his friends in Konohagakure, but no one would get in the way of his loves and ideals. He left the village, but not without destroying the Hokage's Administration Building first.

Since his rebellious act, Isamu has been on the run, or more like walk, from Konohagakure, most other villages don't mind him, especially because of the reason he defected. He adopted the name Junichi, but primarily for disguise. They won't hesitate to attempt to kill him if they feel it's necessary, though.
