Jōhin Saidan (祭壇上品, Saidan Jōhin; lit. "Polished Altar") is an A-rank shinobi of Takigakure and the current leader of the village, taking control several years after the previous leader resigned due to long term complications he sustained after consuming the Hero Water. Prior to being selected as the next head of the village, he served its militia as a defense strategist and was responsible for implementing a series of effective tactics that aided the village against invasion in the post-Fourth Shinobi World War period. Now, as the village's leader, his primary focus is the reformation of its small armed forces so that he may further expand the village and better defend it from any future aggression from larger powers.
