Kakashi Hatake

Kakashi Hatake is a central character in the Naruto series, known for his stoic demeanor, lazy attitude, and masked face. He is a highly skilled ninja, noted for his Sharingan eye and exceptional proficiency in lightning-natured chakra. Kakashi is a member of Team 7, where he serves as the mentor and leader, often regarded as one of the strongest ninja in the series. His love for reading and siesta time during duty is a running joke in the anime. Despite his relaxed personality, Kakashi has a strong sense of duty and responsibility, often displaying a reserved yet caring nature towards his students. He has a troubled past, marked by the loss of his friends and his role in the Fourth Great Ninja War, which still haunts him. Kakashi has a complex relationship with other key characters, such as Obito Uchiha and his students, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Naruto Uzumaki. His personal philosophy is reflected in his famous quote, 'Those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum.'
