Team Gen, also known as Team 22 was a team led by Gen Nakaido and was formed after Sanhiro Kimza, Kaede Meitochi, and Art Uzuba became genin. It was stated that the team was formed due to Sanhiro's low physical stats and it was to be balanced out with Art's physical prowess and Kaede's knowledge of jutsu. Sanhiro himself was said to have potential that could be drawn out with practice. Gen was placed as their leader as a result of his name being brought up on the roster as an accident that could not be reversed.
