Rikujo Shinshi

Rikujo Shinshi is a Shinobi, a Genin of the Village Hidden in the Grass. He is the de-facto Genin leader of Team Rikujo, teamed with Boji Ronken and Kahino Shucho.

Appearance
Rikujo is a lean and tall man. He has dull, blond hair to the bottom of his neck with bangs framing his face. He wears a black shirt and pants with a dark-green tunic over it, with his Hidden Grass Headband tied around his forehead.

Personality
Rikujo is a confident man who has shown skepticism towards their enemies and their own abilities. He does however have a sense of honor, as he would not allow a three-on-one match between his team and Hatsuji Korero; he elected to fight Hatsuji alone so the battle would be fair.

Abilities
Rikujo possesses an Earth Style Chakra Nature. He can perform the Earth Style: Seismic Slash technique, imbuing a kunai with a veil of energy. This technique can deal a significant amount of damage to the environment and to a target.

Season One
Rikujo and the members of his team participate in the Season One Chunin Selection Exams. During the Second Exam, they encounter Team Hatsuji. Hatsuji Korero is very confident in his ability to defeat them, and Rikujo chides him for it. However, with Hatsuji's confidence unwavering, Rikujo agrees to fight. Despite Hatsuji wishing to battle Rikujo's entire team single-handed, Rikujo elects to fight him alone in order to make it fair. The two fight, and Hatsuji easily defeats Rikujo using only E-Rank Jutsu.
