Santa Yamanaka (山中サンタ, Yamanaka Santa) is a shinobi from Konohagakure. He is a member of the Yamanaka Clan and the Third Division of the Allied Shinobi Forces during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Appearance

Santa has very long, light-coloured hair tied in a ponytail. He wears the standard attire of a Konoha shinobi as well as the Alliance's forehead protector.

Abilities

He is seemingly proficient in his clan's technique's being able to use the Mind Body Switch Technique to exchange bodies with Kakashi Hatake as part of a battle strategy. Like other members of his clan he is also a sensor.

Part II

Shinobi World War Arc

Santa was incorporated into Kakashi's battle strategy in order to gain the upper hand in the battle. Because of the mist that hung on the battlefield visibility was very low hence Santa switched bodies with Kakashi and used his sensory abilities to position Kakashi's body behind Zabuza. He then canceled the technique to allow Kakashi to strike a blow on the opponent. However, the blow was intercepted by Haku. Santa was concerned when Ensui said he only managed to stop one enemy as the contact time with the other shadow was too short to activate the technique.
