The First Raikage (初代雷影, Shodai Raikage, literally meaning: First or Founding Lightning Shadow) was the one who founded Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning.

Background

First Gokage summit

The first ever summit of the five Kage is convened.

At the first meeting of the five Kage, he was accompanied by the future Second Raikage. He sat alongside the other Kage and told Hashirama that bowing to other Kage was not a sign of a lasting leader. After asking the First Kazekage to give voice to his alternative request, since Sunagakure already had a tailed beast, he expressed outrage when the Kazekage made a demand of receiving 30% of whatever they would pay for a tailed beast from Konoha. As infighting broke out and Hashirama Senju made his plea to them to preserve the future of their children and unite, he looked on intently.[2]

Personality

While not much was seeing of his personality, the First did seemingly have a verbal tic, ending his sentences with "yo" ().[3] He also seemed to have a habit of folding his arms. Like his future successor, A, he held the idea that shinobi shouldn't lower their heads so easily.
