Kōzame (噛鮫, Kōzame) is a highly accomplished Shinobi who works underneath the shadows of Kirigakure's military forces in order to sufficiently deal with Missing-nin from all walks of life: in other words, a Hunter-nin. Unlike conventional Hunter-nin, most of his actions are funded and watched over by the Daimyō himself due to being part of a select group of undercover agents, thus enabling him to act on his own authority and command others to move at his will, his authority only being rivaled by the Mizukage and the Head of the Hunter-nin.
