Ayumu Hasugawa (蓮川 歩夢, Hasugawa Ayumu) is the Seventh Mizukage (七代目水影, Nanadaime Mizukage) of Kirigakure and the successor of Chōjūrō. Among the Mizukage of the past, Ayumu is an exception to the rule in that he was democratically elected through the public's desire for the village to move forward beyond being puppets manipulated by its organized crime divisions. It is common belief that, when compared to all other possible candidates, Ayumu stands out in his exemplar devotion to the village's wellbeing and his lack of self-interest when it comes to the power obtained by the position. Throughout grueling trials and tribulations, where Ayumu was forced to suppress his emotions for the benefit of the village, the former Jōnin ended up seizing the position from other potential contenders.
