The Raikage's hat.
The Raikage (雷影, literally meaning: Lightning Shadow) is one of the five great Kage, leader of Kumogakure and generally known as the strongest in the village. There have been five Raikage so far in the history of the village, each with the given name A (エー, Ē, Viz: Ei, English TV: Ay) except for Darui. Each Raikage has had a tag-team partner named "B" (ビー, Bī), who not only brings out the Raikage's full power, but defends them as well.[1] The Raikage works inside a central blue structure inside Kumogakure.
