Hakaze Akimichi is a ninja from Konohagakure and the Akimichi Clan. Hakaze grew up among his brothers and sisters learning the ways of the Akimichi through his clan's many rituals, except when it came to the gathering of clans. Whenever there was work to be done with the Nara and Yamanaka clans Hakaze would run off to the forests. The boy had an obsession with the butterflies that flew throughout the clan compound and the nearby forest. This obsession eventually set his path through life. Instead of becoming a member of a trio like so many of his ancestors before him did, Hakaze studied the extents of calorie control and butterflies. He was probably better in battle with an Aburame than a member of either of the clans that were partnered with his. His eventual path led him to become a sage
