When Shoichi was young his parents died in a mission. He was barely a year old and was left in the care of a caretaker appointed by the Mizukage in times of tragedy. Due to the lack of living relatives it was decided he would be placed under this care until he was old enough to care for himself. It was also decided to place him in a secret experiment. One that he was too young to protest against. He and another child were chosen to interpose and suppress the six-tailed beast inside of them. It was decided that the beast would be split in half and sealed inside two children. The plan was to seal the the six-tails as a yin and yang half into the children's chest over their hearts. Unfortunately Shoichi was a bit too squirmy and the jonin in charge of sealing accidently missed the placement and put the seal on his face. Once the seal was started it would have been detrimental to stop. Once sealed Shoichi was sent home to be monitored by his caretaker. This was to keep an eye on any changes in his behavior due to having the Yin half of Saiken sealed inside him. Shoichi was also kept in the dark about this entire process, he is not even aware that he is considered a Jinchuriki at all. All he knows is that people tend to avoid him and it's because of the mark on his face.  Now Shoichi is being placed into a genin squad and will soon go on mission. The Mizukage will be watching intently to see what develops from this child.

## Personality

To most Shoichi comes off as an evil or monstrous kid, but this is just the perceptions of those who can only see skin deep. If you knew him then you would see he is sad. He puts up a stoic and cold face because it is easier than pretending to be happy. He only lets his guard down around his caretaker and even then its not often. If he was to let his guard down many would see he is a caring person always wanting to prove himself and show that he is not some weak kid.

### Ninja Way

Shoichi is still undecided on his ninja way. His upbringing has left him confused with no real idol to inspire his ninja way.

## Appearance

Shoichi is easily identified by his white hair and piercing gold eyes. He also is signified by the Fuinjutsu Assassin seal placed on his face. This seal is what holds in the Saiken and shows everyone that he is a monster. Shoichi is used to people avoiding him just because of his appearance.
