Characters / Kitsune No Ken Fist Of The Fox Konoha Town Other Residents

A list of the various residents of Konoha Town in Kitsune no Ken: Fist of the Fox, including those introduced in the main story and those introduced in the Gaiden chapters.

Here is the Characters main menu.

Mr. and Mrs. Yamanaka

Ino's parents, and the owners and managers of the family's greengrocer store.

• Good Parents: Theirs is a happy family, from all indications.
• Happily Married
• No Name Given: Unlike Inochi, Ino's mother hasn't been identified by her first name at all, likely because in the canon series she was only ever seen in the anime. This is particularly noteworthy when even characters who didn't have surnames in canon (like Tenten, Jugo and Jiraiya) get them here.
• Open-Minded Parent: Unlike Hiashi with regards to Hinata, Inoichi doesn't mind Ino hanging out with Naruto despite the boy having been a Kyuushingai (though the fact that Naruto rescued them and their store from Mizuki, who'd been pretending to be a Kyuushingai up to that point, likely has a lot to do with it). Also, Mrs. Yamanaka doesn't think twice about letting Naruto go up to Ino's room to visit her while Ino's recovering from a sprained ankle.
• Papa Wolf: Inoichi was prepared to take on Mizuki's entire gang in order to protect his daughter. It didn't take, mind you, but points to the man for the effort.
• Secret-Keeper: Inoichi was this alongside Ino, concerning Naruto's Kyuushingai past...until others started finding out.

Orochimaru

The lawyer for Mizuki and his gang.

• Adaptational Heroism: In canon, Orochimaru was a major villain for most of the first part of the series. Here, he's definitely not shown as a lawbreaker of any sort (even the bit where he gets bail for Dosu, Zaku and Kin suggests he's just doing his job as a defense attorney).
• Cool Car: He drives a dark green new-edge modular SVT Mustang Cobra.
• Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: He still retains his familiar looks for this story, even though he's a normal non-superpowered human in this universe.
• Evil Lawyer Joke: Orochimaru complains that he's going to be on the receiving end of these after he manages to get Dosu, Zaku and Kin out on bail.
  • Also, the very fact Orochimaru is a lawyer.

Mayor Senju Tsunade

The mayor of Konoha Town.

• Adaptational Wimp: Her canon counterpart is capable of creating massive craters in solid stone with just her fingertip. Here, since the setting is in an Alternate Universe that's more akin to real life and she therefore doesn't have any of her canon fighting skills, Tsunade is easily taken captive by Akatsuki's Konan, requiring Naruto to save her.
• Age Lift: A mild version. In canon, she's in her 50s and only looks as young as she does due to a transformation jutsu she constantly keeps on. Here, because no ninja magic exists in this universe, she really does look that young but is in fact around her mid-30s to early 40s at the most (she's certainly young enough to have been a college student seven years prior to the start of the story).
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Just like her canon counterpart. She's blond and she's a reasonable (if stern) mayor whose main priority is the safety of Konoha Town.
• Named by the Adaptation: She doesn't have a proper surname in the canon series, though she is a descendant of the Senju bloodline. The fan-fic streamlines this by giving her the surname Senju.
• Not a Morning Person: As revealed in Chapter 97, she tries (and fails) to rebel when her alarm clock blares at 6:00 a.m.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: Was willing to hear Ino out when the latter pleaded with her not to have Naruto arrested following the town square fight with Aoi's gang. She's also willing to hear others' viewpoints on critical matters even if she doesn't agree with them, such as Tsume's concerns about Naruto's Kyuushingai status and the effect it may have on Konoha Town.
• Secret-Keeper: She knows about Dr. Haruno's role in creating the Nine Terrors.
  • Secret Secret-Keeper: In her back-story, during her college days, she was able to figure out that it was her roommate and not her boyfriend who was having sex with her on one particular night, despite being blindfolded herself. She kept quiet about it because she wanted the roommate to take the initiative and come clean, and also because she climaxed from the experience, much to her own embarrassment.
• Unrelated in the Adaptation: Mito is not her grandmother here, due to both getting the Age Lift treatment. By extension, there's no indication that she's related to Naruto either (canonically, they're distant cousins).

Dr. and Mrs. Haruno

Sakura's parents, Kizashi and Mebuki. Kizashi is the chief administrator of Konoha Hospital.

• Happily Married: And still very much in love, to Sakura's embarrassment.
  Kizashi: What's for dinner?
  Mebuki: Sweet and sour chicken, potato salad with green peas and sweet peppers, with rolls and a tossed salad. And pomegranate juice.
  Kizashi: Pomegranate juice, eh? Why must you tempt me so, woman?
  Mebuki: (suggestively) I haven't begun to tempt you yet, Kizashi...
  Sakura: Mom! A-HEM!
• The Resenter: Mebuki used to be this, by her own admission, concerning her husband's late hours when he was doing his residency, with the result that he didn't have a lot of time for her. She's learned to accept it over the years, however.
• Shared Unusual Trait: As noted in Sakura's entry, she gets her pink hair from her dad.
• Supreme Chef: Mebuki, according to Chapter 35 and the quoted section a few tropes up.

Inuzuka Hana

Kiba's older sister and Tsume's daughter, she's a doctor doing her residency at Konoha Hospital.

• Cool Big Sis
• Covert Pervert: Described as such in the thirteenth Gaiden by her husband Idate.
  Idate: ...there's freaky, and then there's Hana.
• Damsel in Distress: Alongside Hokuto, during the Vengeance Arc, when both of them are kidnapped by Sumaru's Star-Boys gang to lure Naruto into a trap.
• Deadpan Snarker: Mostly targeting her mother.
• Hospital Hottie

Maito Guy

A radio announcer and news commentator in Konoha Town.

• The Voice: The only times he ever really shows up is over the radio when giving commentary on some major news items, such as when he comments on the activities of Mizuki's gang in Chapter 1. He shows up in person in Chapter 42, however, and again during the Vengeance Arc.

Aburame Shibi

Shino's father, a communications engineer for a mobile-phone provider whose parent company is Hyuga Corp.

• Badass Boast: "If you raise that stick to me, I will break it and you."
• Deadpan Snarker: "You have an interesting fighting style—beating up people's fists with your face."
• Papa Wolf: If you so much as put a hand on Shino, Shibi will not hesitate to smash your face.
  Shibi: You just tried to flog my son. For that, I'm going to flog you.
• The Stoic: He can usually keep his cool and be very methodical about things. Unless Shino's in serious danger.
• Sunglasses at Night: Like his son.
• Tranquil Fury: Does not once raise his voice even while laying out a smack-down to protect Shino.

Akimichi Choza

Choji's father, and the proprietor for Akimichi Meats.

• Big Eater: According to Choji, his dad will raid the fridge for leftovers in addition to breakfast in the morning. And now you know where Choji gets it from.
• Not a Morning Person: Choza tends to sleep in late even up to 9:30 on a Sunday morning.
• Papa Wolf: Did you just threaten Choji? Have fun being beaten like a rag-doll.

Ayame

A waitress at Burger Castle, and just like her canon counterpart, she's quite friendly to Naruto.

• Adaptational Badass: She helps to rescue a captive Chojuro in the Endgame arc, by helping to gun down his captors.
• Adaptational Jerkass: A minor example. She's still quite friendly to Naruto and most other people, but she holds nothing but contempt toward Kakashi, who she believes makes a bad not-boyfriend for Rin; she even goes as far as to deliberately give Kakashi badly-prepared food while having Rin's order perfectly made, to emphasize her scorn for him. It turns into Adaptational Villainy once her ties to LOVE are revealed.
• Bullying a Dragon: Retroactively, Mizuki's goons who slapped her ass at the beginning of the story were doing this, considering she's a trained undercover LOVE agent.
• Early-Bird Cameo: Remember the server girl who got sexually harassed by two of Mizuki's goons in Chapter 2? That was Ayame, though she wouldn't be identified by name for many, many chapters afterward; she later recounts the incident in Chapter 98.
• Meaningful Name: As noted in her entry on the canon series' wiki, Ayame's name means "iris," as in the plant. Depending on the kanji used, it can also mean "to murder." Both meanings are used in her LOVE code-name of "Death Iris."
• Nice Girl: She'll be the nicest server girl you could ever hope to get service from at a restaurant. Unless your name's Kakashi, in which case she becomes an example of Adaptational Jerkass.
• Snark-to-Snark Combat: With Kakashi, especially in Chapter 98.

Morino Idate and Hagane Kotetsu

Mangetsu's buddies who are introduced with him at the beginning of the Underground Fists arc. They were arrested with him five years earlier for armed robbery, but both of them got suspended sentences since they were first-time offenders. And now that the three have reunited, they're coming back to Konoha Town...

• Adaptational Villainy: In canon, Kotetsu was a Cool Teacher who was loyal to Konoha, and Idate (a filler character) was a good guy who was merely misled by Aoi and had to leave Konoha because of it. They're a downplayed example here, though, since they prove to not even really be that villainous as the story goes on.
• Armed Blag: They got arrested with Mangetsu for trying to rob an armored car. While Mangetsu got prison time, Idate and Kotetsu got suspended sentences.
• Cain and Abel: Idate is the Cain to Ibiki's Abel, although Idate is the younger brother.
• Pair the Spares: Idate eventually marries Hana, while Kotetsu gets together with Mei.
• Those Two Guys: Idate and Kotetsu eventually become this, to some extent.
• Would Hit a Girl: Kotetsu is implied to have this in his character from his brief interaction with his ex Anko, though fortunately the police show up before we can find out for certain.

Hozuki Gengetsu

The alcoholic father of Suigetsu and Mangetsu.

• Abusive Parents: Of the neglect variety, to both of his sons. Gengetsu never bothered to visit Mangetsu while the latter was in prison (which Mangetsu calls him out on) and doesn't act like a proper parental guide to Suigetsu because he's drunk more often than not (which Kushina violently calls him out on).
• Adaptational Wimp: In canon, Gengetsu was the Second Mizukage and was considered one of the strongest shinobi of his generation. Here...he's not even able to keep from being shoved by his own son Mangetsu (of course, he is drunk at the time).
• The Alcoholic: Suigetsu indicates that Gengetsu used to work at a food-processing plant, but it's later revealed that Gengetsu was fired a year prior to the start of the story, and he's been friends with the bottle ever since. Mangetsu reveals that Gengetsu had had drinking problems even before he was fired.
• Cool Old Guy: Tries to be this. Mangetsu and Suigetsu both think he's pathetic.
• Parental Neglect: He's constantly drunk, he failed to go visit his older son while the latter was in prison, and he's not been a proper role model to his younger son.
• Related in the Adaptation: In the original series, Gengetsu, Mangetsu and Suigetsu are all members of the Hozuki clan, but Gengetsu's not stated to be directly related to the boys otherwise. Here, he's their father.

Hozuki Ryuzetsu

Suigetsu and Mangetsu's mother, and Gengetsu's wife.

• Extreme Doormat: She's a little too resigned to her husband's mooching and drunken ways. Kushina calls her on it.
  Kushina: Is it your intention to be an extreme doormat all the rest of your life?
• Parental Neglect: While she undoubtedly loves her family, the fact that she's the sole breadwinner (Gengetsu having lost his job due to his drinking habit) has resulted in her not being able to spend time with Suigetsu like she'd want to, something she herself admits. Plus, she never visited Mangetsu while he was in jail (although Mangetsu himself isn't as hard on Ryuzetsu about it as he is toward Gengetsu).
• Related in the Adaptation: She's got no connection whatsoever to the Hozuki clan in canon, plus she's a filler character from the Naruto movies anyway.

Mr. Ozaki

Haruna's father, and one of those residents of Konoha Town who are anti-Kyuushingai.

• Ascended Extra: In the canon series' anime, he only showed up in one scene during a flashback. He doesn't even get a page of his own on the Naruto series' wiki page, to put this into extra perspective.
• Last-Name Basis: His first name hasn't been revealed.
• Mama Didn't Raise No Criminal: He's on the subjective side of this trope and a gender-flipped example, as he initially refuses to believe Haruna could be capable of any wrongdoing after she and Emiru are held for vandalizing Sakura's family house. When the evidence comes up to prove otherwise...the father-daughter relationship gets somewhat strained as a result.
• Named by the Adaptation: He didn't have a revealed name in canon.
• Spared by the Adaptation: He's long dead in Haruna's back-story in canon.

Uboshita Yumi and Takishi

A married couple who move in the house across from Naruto's sometime after the Parliament incident. Yumi is the new Spanish teacher at Konoha High School, and Takishi is a data analyst working for the Uchiha Zaibatsu. They both first appear in the ninth Gaiden.

• The Ace: Yumi provides a mild deconstruction in the thirty-fifth Gaiden, as the other teachers tell her point-blank that her outshining them in their respective specialty areas isn't exactly endearing her to them. Kakashi advises her that, while she shouldn't lower her own level of excellence, she should try to be sensitive to the feelings of others so as to avoid offending them even by accident.
• Ascended Extra: Both of them, big time. Yumi was one of the two girls created by Konohamaru as part of his Sexy Jutsu: Girl on Girl technique (specifically, the black-haired girl in the anime), and Takishi was one of Orochimaru's random prisoners.
• Can't Hold His Liquor: Yumi isn't a good drinker, as the thirty-fifth Gaiden reveals.
• Cool Teacher: Yumi takes Naruto's history as a Kyuushingai in stride, for starters. Kakashi later complains about Yumi being cooler than him.
• Doom It Yourself: Apparently, Takishi has had a few episodes of attempts at being a handyman. Yumi is all too eager to share some of those stories with Kushina (who, in turn, is willing to share embarrassing stories about Naruto).
• Even the Girls Want Her: When Yumi introduces herself to her Spanish class for the first time and announces that she's Happily Married and perfectly straight, a few of the girl students mutter in disappointment.
• Named by the Adaptation: As stated above, Yumi's original-series counterpart didn't even have a name, not being an actual person to begin with; in Takishi's case, at least that is his given name. Both of them get the surname Uboshita for this story's universe.
• Stern Teacher: Yumi takes her role as a Spanish teacher very seriously. In fact, according to Takishi, during her previous appointment at Shimo City High School, Yumi earned the nickname "Student Slayer" for how hard she graded her students' work.
• Supreme Chef: It turns out Yumi has cooking skill that rivals Kushina's, much to the latter's dismay.
  Naruto: Um...well...how do I put this...could we hire Yumi-sensei to cook for us?
  Kushina: TRAITOR!
• Teachers Out of School: Well, since they live across the street from each other, Naruto at least knows that Yumi has a life outside of Spanish class. Suigetsu tries to take advantage of this so they can get better grades, once he finds out Yumi and Naruto are neighbors.
  Suigetsu: C'mon, dude, she's your next-door neighbor! Can't you, I don't know, sweet-talk her or something? Use some of that Kyuushingai charm or whatever you've got! Our grades are on the line here!
  Naruto: Uh, dude, my skills don't work that way...
• Trademark Favorite Food: Takishi loves tofu, while Yumi is fond of pasta. Happily enough, the day after they move into their new house, Kushina shows up with a house-warming gift of a tofu-and-pasta casserole.

Komatsu Banna and Amayo

Karui's father and mother. Banna is employed as a security officer assigned to the Tourism Minister, and Amayo is a secretary. They both appear in the eighteenth Gaiden.

• Abusive Parents: Amayo is seriously emotionally abusive toward Karui, as evidenced by their interaction in the eighteenth Gaiden, even if the abuse appears downplayed.
• Control Freak: Karui accuses Amayo of being this (not to her face, though).
  Karui: I guess I should just be glad she lets me out of the house at all.
• Disappeared Dad: Banna has been this to Karui for the past five years, having walked out on his wife and daughter. Both he and Karui concede that it was because Banna could no longer handle Amayo's overbearing personality, though Banna regrets having left Karui behind to deal with the fallout of her mother's attitude.
• Education Mama: Amayo expects Karui to excel in her music studies.
• The Ghost: Amayo was this during the main story, as while she was mentioned several times, she never made a personal appearance until the eighteenth Gaiden.
• My Beloved Smother: Karui has this problem with Amayo. Witness this brief exchange when Karui tries to mediate the confrontation between her parents...
  Karui: Mom...
  Amayo: Shush, dear. The grown-ups are talking.
• Related in the Adaptation: Neither Banna nor Amayo have any connection to Karui (or even to each other) in canon.
• Stage Mom: As Karui reveals during a confidential talk with Kakashi in the main story, she strongly feels that the reason Amayo has pushed her to excel at the violin is because Amayo herself failed in her endeavors to build a musical career, so now she's pushing her thwarted expectations onto her daughter.

Yui

Yukata's estranged mother, introduced in the thirty-fifth Gaiden.

• But We Used a Condom!: According to Yui, her pregnancy with Yukata resulted after the condom broke one night.
• Does Not Like Spam: She emphatically hates chocolate. Much to her disgust, she got cravings for the confection while she was pregnant. It was only one of several reasons for her overall disdain and neglect toward Yukata.
• It's All About Me: When we meet her in person in the Gaiden chapters, it soon becomes clear that she's only concerned about how she has been impacted by Yukata's circumstances, rather than being as concerned about her runaway daughter as you'd expect a mother to be. That includes how being pregnant with Yukata affected Yui, a woman who had already disliked the idea of child-bearing but didn't believe in abortion.
• Kick the Dog: On top of refusing to apologize for her apathetic parenting, she tells Yukata straight-up that her very existence has been a burden on Yui.
• Law of Inverse Fertility: She admits that she wound up with a pregnancy she didn't want because the condom broke, after having made clear to her husband that she wanted to have just one year with him before trying for children.
• Maternally Challenged: She wound up with a pregnancy she wasn't ready for and didn't want but couldn't terminate because of her own pro-life stance, then she had a difficult childbirth experience wherein the baby had to be cut out of her via C-section, and according to her, she was so traumatized by the whole thing that she couldn't even hold her newborn. She also had immense difficulty getting up during the nights to deal with baby Yukata, and that was with her husband's help. All of those experiences and the accompanying resentment led her to have a very detached and cold relationship with Yukata by the time the latter was a teenager.
• Never My Fault: A constant source of rage for Yukata is the fact that Yui refuses to cop to having given her daughter no support after the latter was falsely accused of a crime by Konoha High School's Hall Monitors' Guild. That lack of support led Yukata to run away from home and join the Tiger Dragons gang, yet Yui doesn't stop to consider that her Lack of Empathy contributed to that outcome.
• Parental Betrayal: Yukata accuses Yui of this, citing Yui's unwillingness to even consider that she may have been set up for a false accusation by the Hall Monitors' Guild. It pushes into abusive territory when Yui herself inadvertently reveals to Yukata's face that she never wanted to get pregnant with Yukata to start with, only keeping the pregnancy because her husband was so excited about having a child and because neither of them believed in abortion. That prior apathy toward pregnancy, combined with the physical trauma of the birthing process, led to Yui largely avoiding any bonding with her daughter beyond supplying the basic necessities of life.
• Related in the Adaptation: Yui and Yukata have no relation to each other in canon.
• Wants a Prize for Basic Decency: Based on her attitude and her comments, Yui clearly thinks she should be given a medal for taking care of Yukata—as in, for doing the things that a mother is supposed to do—and that she should be given a pass for not believing Yukata's claims of having been framed for theft by the Hall Monitors' Guild (which Yui stubbornly thinks is just Yukata being an Attention Whore, a sentiment for which she refuses to apologize even when Yukata calls her out on it).

Kohada

A prostitute who's introduced in the thirty-eighth Gaiden working at Konoha Town's infamous Pudding Place whorehouse.

• Broken Bird: Her backstory was not kind to her, from her losing her father in the 365 days to her being betrayed into sexual slavery by a friend's boyfriend.
• Cop Hater: She does not hold a very good opinion of the police. Considering that cops were among the various patrons of the brothel where she was held against her will, and many of them were crooked enough to overlook her pimp's prostitution ring in exchange for getting her as occasional "payment," one can hardly blame her.
• Defrosting Ice Queen: Starts to defrost upon meeting Han, the first man she's interacted with since her journey into prostitution who's interested in helping her without wanting any physical favors in exchange.
• Determinator: Even after her friend committed suicide to escape their brutal treatment, Kohada herself vowed to carry on in the hope that one day she'd be able to pursue her lifelong dream of journalism, through which she could then tell her story.
• Disappeared Dad: Her father was killed by marauding gangsters during the 365 days.
• Forced to Watch: She was made to watch while her friend was gang-raped as punishment for refusing to pleasure a john, and was threatened with being similarly gang-raped if she tried to look away.
• Hooker with a Heart of Gold: The heart of gold is very deeply buried due to her experiences leaving her jaded.
• Missing Mom: Her mother died from pneumonia complications when Kohada was 11.
• Rape as Backstory: She and her friend were both subjected to this multiple times during their initial days in sexual captivity by the friend's boyfriend and his friends. The friend was Driven to Suicide after one particularly vicious gang-bang by the boyfriend and five of his pals, but Kohada swore to continue living on in spite of it all.
• Sex as Rite-of-Passage: In her line of work, she has occasionally facilitated this for a few guys who've been honest enough to admit that they've only come to her to silence their friends' taunts that a man is not a virgin; for these guys, she'll willingly go all out to show them the ropes.
• Stepford Snarker: She's introduced with a very sarcastic mouth, but behind the snark is a badly damaged woman.
• Tsundere: According to Karyu, Kohada fills this fantasy niche for clients who frequent the Pudding Place.
