Karatachi Family

This family was a group of people from Kirigakure , which has produced renowned shinobi . One of its members Yagura , went on to become the Fourth Mizukage . He used fear to rule the village and enforced Kiri's reputation as "Village of the Bloody Mist".

Before dying, he had a child, who went on to have Kagura . Because of his grandfather's tyrannical reign, villagers kept their distance from Kagura. After the era of the "Bloody Mist", the family name no longer appears on memorials, which Shizuma Hoshigaki attributes it to being due to this family being considered a nuisance in the peaceful time.
