First off, Kazou has a decent muscular build, although he lacks just a tad bit with Taijutsu because it isn't one of his specialties. He has a scar running across his right breast, which he obtained from a wolf attack. Second, he is 5'5, somewhat of a disappointment to him. Then, he weighs in at 110lbs. Which leads to his appearance. Kazou has spikey crimson hair, and wears his black ninja forehead protector sideways on his head. He has soft purple eyes which always share his emotions. He wears a black jacket, with a deep red flame pattern on the bottom. The jacket goes down to about his ankles, where the sleeve's go farther than just the hands. The Uzumaki clan symbol is on the right forearm of the jacket, aswell it appears on the back. He wears a black, long sleeved shirt, which shows the muscular build he has. On it's back, is also the Uzumaki clan symbol. One the left upper arm of the shirt, is the Uzumaki clan symbol again. He wears black, knee-length pants, which are somewhat loose fitting yet tight.

The pants also have both front and back pockets, and Kazou keeps his black wallet in those. The belt he wears is more like a black sash that has a similar pattern to his jacket; but it is red with black flames. On the back of his left leg, he carries two kunai holders that are side-by-side. The one closer to his knee has the Uzumaki symbol on it, adding yet another whirlpool to the design. From his knee down, is covered in bandages which cover more scars from the wolf attack. These scars are much more damaging and are a weak point for Kazou. He wears black shinobi sandals, in which most often he has the bandages wrapped around them. On his left hand, he wears a glove with the Uzumaki symbol on it. This glove also helps hide another scar.

Whenever Kazou is sleeping, he'll sleep in his boxer shorts, which are mostly purple. Some may wonder why but he's comfortable around other guys. But when around girls, he'll show some modesty and wear pj pants. His pj pants have no real design, and are colored black. He may wear an undershirt with the pants, but normally chooses not to. His skin is a little tan, but mostly the regular shade of peach most people are.

Kazou has a "Believe it or leave it", Attitude towards life. He knows when he can do something, but cannot admit when he can't do something. He is mischievious, often enjoying mindless pranks to get some attention. He is poorly disaplined, and often can get lost in his own thoughts because he never really thinks things through to the end. This leads him to be stubborn, with a load of curiosity. Kazou can almost never resist a "curious attack", as it is his one true weakness when he cant' figure something else. He can even be cocky and arrogent at times, saying things he may not mean, or causing a problem when trying to help. But beneearth all that, there is plenty more Kazou, than just a hyperactive child with social problems.

He can be kind when he needs to be, and does have manners although he is a goof. He let's his bad habits easily take over, something he hates because he gets lectured for it. He is one that believes in loving, protecting and cherishing those you care for, showing a more subtle and calmer side of kazou. He often hates how he looks, because the "blonde hair, blue eyes", only ever works for girls. However retains feature's from his adoptive father as well. Like being exuberant, impatient, impulsive, and inattentive. Kazou also, learns through his body, something he picked up on his own. He relatively naive and simple, being slow to pick up a principal or situation. However Kazou has a large amount of Confidence in himself. He also believes in friends. He's never once had a true friend that stayed with him, and this bothers Kazou.

However he can be completely serious in battle, never wanting to mess up, or cost himself any ground. He is determined, and never stops fighting until he just can't fight anymore. He doesn't view that has a fault, as he takes pride in putting so much effort into things, it makes him smile. Of course though, when going into battle, Kazou wil hardly have a battle plan, and enjoys trying to make one up as he goes along.

Without looking up, Near though about answering the boy near him. It's ironic that I'm called Near with people far away from me, he thought, his eyes staring blankly at the ground below him. He planned to sit there, and not reply to the boy who showed concern. But could this be a sign that things may finally change for me, he thought, asking himself the question that made him smiled on this inside. It warmed him and made him feel radiant that, though many people fled, at least one was trying to care.

I at least owe him an answer, he did show kindness, which is better than anyone has tried, he thought as a deep breath echoed across the cavern. "Yeah, I'm alright.", Near replied, both the strange anger and deep sorrow removed from view and replaced with false hope of a true friend. His face rose from it's entrenched position in his arms, glancing at the boy. He was a genin, like Near, but lead a more subtle life, or so Near had heard.

The smile Near plastered on his face was genuine, showing sincerity and happiness, such emotions Near felt he was never capable of. It shocked him that one person sparked his emotions by showing worry for him. It made him want to ask him just one thing; Why. "Why, why did you....show such care where others...simply ran?", he said in a quiet voice. "Do you not consider me a monster like everyone else does?", he continued, the word monster echoing off the walls of his head, a deep, loud voice taunting him.

"I noticed the concern in your voice, it made me feel different than I've ever felt.", Near said to him. I'll even introduce myself, I should at least let him know, he thought as he stood up. "I'm Hideaki, Makoto, but please don't hesitate to call me Near.", he said to him. Near's eyes looked bored, dull and senseless as he looked into the boy's eyes. Someday...I may call you friend., he thought.
