Arai Inuzuka (犬塚荒い, Inuzuka Arai) is a Chūnin-level shinobi of a peaceful village. An orphanage child until the age of five, he was adopted into one of Konohagakure's most prominent clans, the Inuzuka. He was raised by the head of the clan and brought up in the same fashion as any born member of the Inuzuka. Training under his adopted father, Arai quickly became well-versed in Beast Human Mimicry techniques, solidifying his position within the clan.
