Iwashi Tatami (たたみイワシ, Tatami Iwashi) is a chūnin-level shinobi from Konohagakure.

Personality

Iwashi is described as being very methodical in nature. Similar to Aoba he is also haughty in private but has a more reserved demeanour in public.[1]

Appearance

He has dark eyes, brown hair and a small goatee. When first introduced, he wore a simple button up grey uniform like the one worn by the shinobi in the Konohagakure Intelligence Division. When seen after that, however, he wore the standard attire of the Konoha shinobi complete with flak jacket and forehead protector which he wears like a bandanna.

Abilities

Though little to nothing is known of his abilities, Iwashi did note during the Chūnin Exams that even he wasn't able to finish the second test of the examination in the time that the Sand Siblings had.[2] He was also strong enough to be placed on a mission that his Tokubetsu Jōnin team-mates called challenging.[3]

Part I

Chūnin Exam Arc

Iwashi first appeared when showing Anko Mitarashi a video of the Sand Siblings after passing the second test of the Chūnin Exams, noting in particular the time they took and speculating that there was no way that they were merely genin.

Sasuke Retrieval Arc

Shizune and her team

Iwashi, Shizune, Genma, and Raidō detect the presence of the Sound Four.

He appeared later with Raidō Namiashi, Shizune, and Genma Shiranui on a mission. Raidō and Genma were badly injured by the Sound Four when they went to check out the disturbance and Iwashi wanted to get revenge for his comrades, but was stopped by Shizune.

Mizuki Strikes Back Arc

In the anime, Iwashi, along with Tonbo Tobitake, informed Tsunade about Mizuki and the Legendary Stupid Brothers escaping from prison together.

Land of Vegetables Arc

Later, Iwashi, along with Tonbo and Mozuku, accompanied Shizune and Shikamaru Nara to the Land of Vegetables to take back the country from the Criminal Brothers control.

Trap Master Arc

Iwashi was present when Tsunade ordered him along with other ninja to go investigate a possible attack on Konoha. It was later revealed that the whole incident had been set up by Gennō.

Part II

Hidan and Kakuzu Arc

In the anime, he was present at Asuma Sarutobi's funeral.

Itachi Pursuit Arc

In the anime, after Sasuke absorbed Orochimaru, Iwashi was briefly shown, along with Anko and Mozuku, shortly before Anko sensed Orochimaru's "death".[4]
