Kimura Asako

Background
Kimura Asako was born to Kimura Seiji and his wife, Jun. As a child, her father spent much of his time away from home, but with every return, he would spoil the young girl with gifts and affection. Both her parents saw to it that she was enrolled in the Academy in Tanigakure. She was fair student, finding her passion in genjutsu and bukijutsu. She had phenomenal chakra control and quickly grasped techniques such as walking on water and even learned to allowed chakra to flow through her weaponry so she could adjust the sharpness or length. At the age of 12, Asako learned that her father had been murdered while visiting relatives. The girl was heartbroken and made it her goal to become a kunoichi stronger than her father so that he could see that his teaching did not go to waste.

Uzushiogakure
After graduating the Tanigakure Academy, Asako was placed on the usual team of three genin and one jounin. It is not clear when she left Tanigakure or a what rank, but no warrant was set for her arrest, so it can be assumed that she left with permission or on amicable terms with the village. Travelling around, Asako would occasionally bump into people who seemed to know her, or had at least met someone who looked like her and shared her name. This she thought was strange, since not many people had red hair or the name "Asako" for that matter. Tired of strange looks and mistaken identity, Asako journeyed to Uzushiogakure, hoping to fit in there for a change.

Appearance
Asako is extremely pretty, but denies any compliment given to her, not fully believing it herself. She considers herself of average appearance. She is currently underweight from the lack of food she's been eating while travelling, opting to save her money to afford her own place eventually. She has red hair the reaches midway down her back, though denies any lineage leading to the Uzumaki. Her skin is slightly tanned from being outside often. Her sky blue eyes are rather innocent, but easily light up with annoyance or humor. She has a tattoo in black on the base of her neck; the kanji for remember　覚え (oboe) in honor of her father.
