Jūjika Kushizashi is the current Hokage, and a renowned ninja. He was made Hokage greatly based on his Fire Release techniques and combinations, especially his legendary Fire Conversion Technique. He is also said to be one of the more powerful leaders of Konoha in recent times, exceeding all those between him and Hiruzen Sarutobi. He was deposed by a vote of the Jonin Council, moved from the shadows by Inosawa Yamanaka, but after the rampant destruction of the Great Shinobi World War, he was restored to his former position. He was also the sensei of Rokugama Ayakashi, and his foster father.
