Shijiro

Shijiro is a Shinobi of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. He is a member of the ANBU Black Ops.

Background
Little is known of Shijiro's history. At some point he joined the ANBU Black Ops, and made his way to either Team Ni, San, or Shi.

Appearance
Shijiro is a tall, muscular man with long, light-brown hair with bangs that fall into his eyes. As a member of the ANBU, he wears a black tank-top and pants, with a sword sheathed at his back.

Personality
Shijiro seems to be very frank and candid when reporting. He also showed sympathy to Kakashi Hatake after the deaths of the members of ANBU Team Ichi, where Kakashi was previously positioned. Shijiro also showed amusement at the idea of Kakashi going behind the Hokage's back to gain information on the whereabouts of Team Ichi's killer.

Abilities
Shijiro implies he is a member of one of the top four teams of the ANBU Black Ops in the Hidden Leaf. It can therefore be assumed that he is a Shinobi of considerable ability and battle prowess. It can be assumed that he is skilled in swordfighting as well.

Story
Shijiro meets Kakashi Hatake at a bar in the Hidden Leaf Village to discuss the effort to locate and eliminate Saisho Teki. Shijiro reports that ANBU Teams Ni, San, and Shi were sent out, but none were successful. Kakashi states that he did not expect otherwise. Shijiro asks if Tsunade knows Kakashi is seeking information, and Kakashi states she doesn't, that he is supposed to be focusing on training Matt. Shijiro comments on Kakashi's time with ANBU Team Ichi, and the friendships Kakashi had with its fallen members. Shijiro assures Kakashi that they will take Saisho down, and Kakashi wishes him luck before the ANBU member departs.
