Genma Shiranui

Genma has brown, shoulder-length hair which hangs about his face and brown eyes. He wears his forehead protector like a bandanna, and the standard jōnin outfit and always has his trademark senbon in his mouth. As a genin, he wore a dark, baggy outfit with a hooded red and black jacket. He also wore a black choker, a strap around his leg, and a senbon in his mouth.

When Genma became a genin, he was put on a team with Might Guy and Ebisu, under the leadership of Chōza Akimichi. During part of their chūnin exams, his team confronted Team Minato. At one point, they were confronted by a generation of Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, only to be saved by Might Duy. Other than that, not much is known about Genma's background except for the fact that he became an elite guard to the Hokage. During his time serving under the Fourth Hokage, he was taught the Flying Thunder Formation Technique.
