Appearance

Oboro has spiky brown hair with a white band over his eyes with eye holes and an air mask like mouthpiece. He also like the rest of his team wear clothing similar to straitjackets

Abilities

Oboro has shown to be proficient with genjutsu, such as the Mist Servant Technique. He is also skilled in elemental techniques, such as Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique and, in the anime, the Water Clone Technique.

Part I

Chūnin Exam Arc

Soon after the second phase of the Chūnin Exams begins, Oboro poses as Naruto to surprise Sasuke and Sakura. Sasuke sees through the transformation quickly as Oboro failed to copy Naruto exactly (he failed to copy the wound that Anko Mitarashi had earlier given Naruto and had his shuriken holster on the wrong leg). Exposed, Sasuke and Oboro fight. Using his Sharingan, Sasuke manages to get the upper hand and injure Oboro, forcing him to retreat.

Later, Oboro and his team-mates use a number different genjutsu to cause Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kabuto to waste time and tire themselves out. After having them fight illusions for a while, Oboro and his team-mates engage them. They quickly find out that what appeared to be the Konoha ninja were really just shadow clones in disguise, the real ninja having been resting. Oboro and his team-mates were quickly defeated and did not pass the second phase.

Land of Tea Arc

Later in the anime, Oboro and his team-mates, under the leadership of Aoi Rokushō, were assigned by Amegakure to help the Wagarashi family win the Todoroki shrine race held in the Land of Tea. While Oboro went to stall Idate, Mubi and Kagari prepped a ship for naval combat. The team begins to use Water Clones, in attempt to divert the team. After using an oil-based technique, the Rain Genin were able to sink Idate's ship. Team 7 jumps out of their boat, and into the ocean for safety reasons. The Rain Genin go to battle Team 7 underwater, where they held the advantage with more usage of Water Clones. However, Naruto turns the tables, and uses his Rasengan training to hand them another humiliating defeat as the first part of the Rasengan training created a whirlpool that sucked Oboro's team into a trench. They are assumed to have survived because of their masks.

Trivia

• He makes a cameo alongside his team-mate Mubi and several other notable characters in episode 183 of Naruto: Shippūden.
• In the Naruto: Clash of Ninja video games there is an "Oboro Mode" where the player fights an endless wave of Oboro copies. Every once in a while he says "Lucky".
