Shiki Kanō (志木加納, Kanō Shiki) is a young Genin of Hoshigakure, having recently graduated the Ninja Academy. Like all young boys of Hoshigakure he wants to be the future Hoshikage and bring the spot the recognition he feels it rightly deserves. Despite only being a Genin, Shiki has experienced a great deal of combat for one so young, mainly due to the influence of Naibu Sanguis who often spirits the boy away for days and weeks at a time for training and company on missions deemed too dangerous for simple Genin.
