Growing up in the Hidden Stone Village, Itaru found his way into the shinobi academy at a young age. He was a promosing student academically speaking, if not a little lackluster in executing pracitcal applications. He was a bit of an introvert but not terribly so, often finding himself adopted by extroverted children and too polite to dismiss himself from their company. He graduated from academy at the age of twelve and began a career that would quickly be cut short.
His body began to have tumorous growths beneath his skin at a rate more rapid than most medical shinobi had ever seen. Within months of becoming a genin, he was medically retired but afforded healthcare to make him more comfortable. He wasn't given very high odds to live, and his parents beseeched the tsuchikage for assistance. For a time it seemed as though their pleas were ignored but after a time additional help was sent because some believed that Itaru may have a rare kekkei genkai. They provided him with expensive treatments to prolongue his life to give him a better chance of surviving the maturity of the Tokakugan.
In the end their bets had been hedged correctly. After two years of excrutiating pain the sores stopped hurting, and eventually began to open up to reveal new eyes for the first time. Even after they were awakened, Itaru had to go through physical therapy as his strength began returning to him. He was left with a large medical debt, but was offered a chance to return to his former position after being medically cleared.
Itaru has no grudge about his debt. He looks up to the tsuchikage as his hero and strives to be an asset to his country. Although several years behind his classmates, Itaru is driven to catch up to and surpass them.
Taijutsu [Rookie]
Itaru has classical academy training in hand to hand combat, but lacks any real experience using it outside of friendly spars. Worse his physical fitness is a bit behind the curve because of his time battling the illness brought on by his developing kekkei genkai. He knows just enough to get his ass kicked.
Shurikenjutsu [Rookie]
Academy trained but nothing special. He is able to engage at a medium distance with some hope of hitting targets, but is inconsistent at best.
Stealth [Apprentice]
Even though he was out of comission for years, Itaru's ability to go unnoticed has been honed by his desire to keep attention off of himself. He naturally avoids taking the most obvious path where he walks and wears clothing that conceals his abnormalities. Thanks to his eyes he is already extremely good at detecting others, and he knows better than the average genin what someone trying to hide looks like.
Visual Genjutsu [Rookie]: Itaru is able to cast illusions that create simple tricks of light with his eyes. He can change their color and form hypnotic patterns that can be unsettling to look at. This basic application is challenging for him, limiting his daily usage to a few illusions.
Tokakugan [Unranked]
The many-eyed curse covers Itaru's body around his back and arms. These extra eyes afford him vision in every direction when his upper body is unobstructed. Although they provide the benefit of additional vision, they make him more vulnerable to jutsu that target the eyes as well. The eyes are capable of being used as tools for genjutsu or to monitor internal organs, but Itaru lacks the specializations needed to capitalize on these abilities.
