Tools

Kyūsuke (鳩助) was once a shinobi from Amegakure and one of the original founding Akatsuki members.

Background

Yahiko's Group

Kyūsuke as part of the original Akatsuki.

In the anime, Kyūsuke at some point left Amegakure, having grown tired of Hanzō's rule. He and his comrades began stealing from villages to survive. One day, they came to the village that was protected by a newly-formed and small group called Akatsuki. As the trio easily repelled Kyūsuke and his comrades, Kyūsuke asked if they were working for Hanzō. The leader of the group, Yahiko, said they are not, but do share his goal of creating peace. Kyūsuke was untrusting of Yahiko and his views but after seeing the sincerity of Yahiko, Kyūsuke and his comrades ultimately decided to join Akatsuki. While offering to be subordinates, Yahiko refused to think of them as anything less than comrades. Kyūsuke soon became responsible for spreading the reputation of Akatsuki and handling requests for the Akatsuki's assistance. At some point, Kyūsuke developed feelings for Konan of the Akatsuki's founding trio. She politely rejected his request to accept his feelings, saying she was too busy striving for peace to have a relationship, to which Kyūsuke politely accepted.

Personality

Kyūsuke was a very reserved individual. He would usually only speak when having something important to say. Despite this he was shown to have a jovial side, regularly referring to his leader Yahiko as Aniki (兄貴; Literally meaning "Brother"). When he was younger, he was notably more aggressive, willing to rob a minor village for supplies, yet was still hesistant to use unnecessary force.

Appearance

Kyūsuke in his younger age.

Kyūsuke had long black hair and black-coloured cat-like pupils. He wore a black Amegakure forehead protector and had black markings around and below his eyes.

Abilities

Kyūsuke's skills were unknown in the manga. In the anime, he was an extremely fast moving shinobi and this speed earned him his nickname, Swift Foot Kyūsuke (韋駄天の鳩助, Idaten no Kyūsuke). He was also noted to be highly skilled in intelligence gathering. He was also at least capable in kenjutsu considering he had a sword.

Trivia

  • In the manga, Kyūsuke was simply an unnamed background character.
  • The kanji his name is written with mean "pigeon" and "help". This might be a reference to how early Akatsuki received information and calls for help through pigeons.
