OC: Kyoko

Kyoko, age 12, is the only child of Tenten and a blacksmith who only went by the name of Kaze. Kyoko grew up hearing stories of being a ninja from her mother and wanted to be one just like her. She began training with the various weapons her father would forge and entered the Ninja Academy at the normal age most children would start attending.

Growing up with a strong kunoichi for a mother and a well-known blacksmith for a father, Kyoko did not do many things that other normal girls would do. She paid attention to the classes and training, and learned all of her mother's techniques. Very much a tomboy, she dressed mostly like a boy throughout her academy days. When she passed the test to become a genin, her mother convinced her to dress in a more feminine manner, as appearing feminine is another way for kunoichi to deceive a target.

Like her mother, Kyoko is known as a Weapons Mistress and never has once missed her aim. She basicly likes her teammates, but sometimes one of them, Okami Ren, really pisses her off because of his laid-back, or rather very lazy, attitude. She would sometimes bop him on the head with the handle of her kunai just to make him do something...

She helps out in her parents' weapons shop when not on a mission or training. Also, Kyoko may know almost everything about her mother, Tenten, but information on her father is scarce. All she knows about him is that he made some of the finest weapons in Konoha, that he loved his daughter and wife very much, and that he isn't originally from Konoha, or Fire Country for that matter...

Here is Kyoko, the oldest child of Tenten, former teammate of Rock Lee and Hyuuga Neji. She has her mothers hairstyle and eyes, but has her father's hair color...^_^ Hope people like her.

[EDIT 19Sept08]: Kyoko isn't a part of Kesanbi... she and her teammates are in a seperate storyline.
