Okami Kurotsuchi (御紙黒土, "Black Earth, Great Essay") is the infamous heir to the Kurotsuchi Zaibatsu, a conglomerate of merchant clique's with enormous financial power in the Land of Fire. Raised in an environment that had more in common with the dangerous political power plays of the court, Okami has fought with the best in the world of business. Yet even the allure of the family business atop a cushy fortune could not hold his interest. Instead he struck out his own, became a shinobi of Konoha, and now aims to start his own ninja-business.
