Higakure (陽隠れの里, Higakure no Sato; English TV "Village Hidden in the Sun", "Hidden Sun Village"; Literally meaning "Village Hidden by Sun") is the hidden village of the Land of Light (located between the Land of Hills and the Land of Earth). Because it is not one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries it is not governed by a Kage, instead it is governed by a Village Head, the current being Heibō Oniwaka. The Head is always a member of the Oniwaka Clan, and the successor is selected by the previous Head upon their retirement.
