Background

Sousa is the (retired) First Kazekage of Sunagakure. While extremely adept in the ninja arts and a very capable leader, he considers himself first and foremost a scholar. Knowledge of any type is of interest to him (though some types more than others), and this shows in the emphasis Sunagakure has on information. Sousa has made Sunagakure the espionage center of the ninja world, compensating for the lack of manpower and resources with intelligence and cunning.

- Hide

In this world, there are various things which men regard as precious. Many seek after money, power, fame, or longevity. Some place value in justice, harmony, family, or honor. And then, there are those who care little for any of these matters, even though all could benefit from the thing they do yearn for: knowledge.

Kokoroe Sousa is the First Kazekage of the Village Hidden in the Sand. Surprisingly, he is not himself a native of the Land of Wind. He was a traveling scholar from a land some ways to the west. Though Sousa was interested in practically any new knowledge, the shinobi arts in particular he found fascinating. He learned all that he could from rogue ninja and wandering clans, combining it with taijutsu he had studied in his native land. His previous monk-like training and capacity for swift learning allowed him to master the ninja arts with uncanny speed.

Sousa came into the position of Kazekage through a long process of establishing favor with the desert clans, diplomacy, and a little bit of manipulation. Whenever Sousa visited a clan, they would prosper, learning new ways to find water, improve trade with surrounding peoples, and even increase their capability as ninja. Gradually, the various clans began to desire Sousa as member of their own, and even sought to deny other clans access to him. Sousa deftly negotiated these conflicts, ham-stringing the clans' ability to defeat each other by providing them all with vital defensive intelligence. He also proved an extremely difficult quarry to clans which attempted to capture him, using powerful genjutsu and sly tactics to evade them.

Eventually, Sousa was able to convince the ninja clans of the Land of Wind that there was more to be gained by cooperating than by clashing. The successful founding of Konohagakure aided him in this effort, giving him a proven example of how a union of shinobi clans could thrive. Ironically, Sousa's status as a largely unbiased outsider, along with his reputation as a genius and a powerful ninja, made him an ideal candidate to lead such a union. Sunagakure was established under Kokoroe Sousa's rule, and became a ninja village specializing in Sousa's most powerful weapon: information.

Personality

Doctor by Night Snipers

Sousa has a very aloof, analytical outlook on pretty much everything. He is driven to learn, about anything and everything; all his other activities, including his duties as Kazekage, are complex supporting functions of this drive. On a practical level, Sousa is a very amoral person, capable of doing great good (i.e. negotiating peace between the ninja clans of the Land of Wind) or great evil (i.e. torturing enemies just to observe their reaction) depending on what best serves his needs at the moment. His political ambition is to maintain a world of fairly stable dynamic equilibrium—not an entirely peaceful world, as that would mean stagnation, but one in which warfare remains at a managable level. Towards this end, he tends to support the underdog whenever there is conflict, stabilizing the balance of power. Even the Land of Wind becoming too powerful would go against Sousa's ends.

Appearance

Kokoroe Sousa, despite his prominent status as the Kazekage of Sunagakure, is not a very impressive figure. He's rather short, around 4'9'', and his yellowish skin clings to his bones in notable places. He has short, fuzzy black hair, slanted brown eyes, high cheekbones, and a wizened mouth. To sum it up, he's a shrimpy Chinese-looking dude. Of course, so was Bruce L*CENSORED FOR RL REFERENCE*

Sousa's typical attire consists of a monk-like gi, baggy and made of light fabric. A cowl is added to the top, a practical ward against the desert sun. The usual shinobi gear hangs about his person, as well as not a few scrolls.
