Kakashi Hatake

Kakashi Hatake, also known as Kakashi of the Sharingan, is a central figure in the manga and anime series Naruto, often serving as a mentor and protector to the main protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki. Kakashi is calm, patient, and somewhat detached, maintaining a stoic demeanor that conceals his deep sense of duty and care for his students. He is well-known for his use of the Sharingan eye technique he borrowed from his friend Obito Uchiha and for his impressive mastery of various other jutsus. Kakashi is an avid reader, particularly fond of 'Icha Icha', a romantic novel series. Despite his relaxed attitude, he has a strict approach to training and discipline, a trait that often clashes with Naruto's more unorthodox methods. His relationships are complex, especially with his former team members such as Obito and Rin, and his sensei, Minato Namikaze. His key relationships with these individuals significantly influence his development and motivations throughout the series.
