Name: Onitoge
Gender: male
Age: 12
Appearance: Onitoge is very lean and of average height for his age. His hair is short, spiky and blood red. His eyes are also a piercing crimson color with very thin pupils. He typically wears a sleeveless black training gi and a heavily weighted long black hooded cloak. When on a mission he pulls the hood forward and wears a cloth mask that covers the lower portion of his face so that only his red eyes are visible. Unlike the other shinobi of Konoha he wears two identifying silver plates. One for the Land of Fire for where he was raised and one for the Land of Water which was the only thing found on him as an infant. He wears them on his belt on either hip; Water on his right and Fire on his left. When he gets real serious about a match he removes the weighted cloak so he can move at full speed.
Personality: He tends to be reserved and quiet and a bit of a tag-a-long. He is eager to be more open and try to make friends but is afraid of what happens when he doesn't hold back. This carries into training as well because of a few accidents in training when he was younger.
History: Onitoge was found at the edge of Konoha clutched in the arms of a dead woman with nothing but a silver shinobi plate from the Land of Water to identify him as an infant. A retired Shinobi named Urukani, Shenji claimed responsibility for him and tried to return him to the Land of Water. The old ninja returned a month later with the baby in his arms and several wounds on his person including several puncture marks. He told the village elders and the hokage that he would raise the infant and that he had named it Onitoge. So, Onitoge grew up in the care of Shenji. While he always took great care of Onitoge he always seemed saddened and worried on the inside. He took it upon himself to train the young boy as soon as he was old enough to stand and kept him fairly isolated from other people. Onitoge learned everything he could from Shenji, soaking up information related to Shinobi like a spunge. He was very eager to learn the secrets of Jutsu. His early training stopped when Shenji succumbed to age and illness when Onitoge was only 7. Since then he had been passed around the village to whomever had time to care for him but never found another true home. Shortly after he started training at the academy, just as he was starting to make friends for the first time he accidentally injured another student while training. It took a month for the other student to recover and since then everyone has always picked on him. He has also taken to holding back both in training and social situations for fear of hurting someone again. He even went so far as to take up wearing a heavily weighted cloak to keep his speed and strength in check so he wouldn't accidentally go too far in a match.
Main Jutsu: Taijutsu
Special Abilities: He has developed no known special techniques yet but has a fair knowledge of basic Genjutsu and Ninjutsu as well as the extreme speed and strength you'd expect of someone who focuses on Taijutsu. He also has the strange and unique ability to summon a seemingly endless supply of ivory colored weapons from under his cloak even though none are ever visible until he produces them for use. Onitoge claims that he doesn't even know how he summons them and because of this rarely uses the ability for fear of the unknown.
Hobbies: Onitoge doesn't have hobbies of his own but instead picks up the hobbies of those around him as a way of trying to make friends. He reads when he is around people like Kakashi, he plays chess around people like Shikamaru, he trains vigorously when around people like Heji
Relations: He spends time occasionally reading with Hatake Kakashi who treats him both kindly and with concern. He also plays chess with Shikamaru a lot even though he can never win. (open to anyone else who wants to be acquainted or friends).
Other: Although the people of Konoha aren't as disrespectful and suspicious of him as they are of Naruto he is generally looked down upon except by the Jounin who knew Urukani Shenji well.

I've updated a few details to incorporate what character development has already occurred, plus amended a few others.

Name: Yakusha, Inakamo
Gender: Male
Age: 12
Appearance: About 4' 9". Very slim and doesn't look muscular, although he is very flexible. He covers the right-side of his face (left from a looking-on perspective) with a clay half-mask of a scary, almost evil looking clown. He also paints the area around his left eye black with a white cross. He wears a top with the left sleeve cut off and and the right sleeve long to the wrist. The left side of the top is orange and black vertical stripes, while the left side is black. He has an orange belt and wears his headband over the buckle. He wears black tight-fitting pants and the normal ninja shoes. His hair is worn both up and is black with red and orange streaks.

Picture by Chiko-Sai (coloured by me)

He has a curse mark on his right eye which he keeps covered by his mask, and almost no one knows about.
Personality: He acts somewhat insane and has a habit of tricking, pranking and annoying people. He'll turn up the annoyance on people he especially doesn't like and turn it down on people he wants to be friends with. Most people would think he is a bit of a weirdo but he has a loveable aspect to him - also, people seem to think if they get on the wrong side of him, he might murder them in their sleep. As a ninja though, although he might not act it in battle, he is a serious and dedicated contender, although he tends to annoy or wind his opponent up to get the upper hand.

Up front and in person, he is a perfectly nice and kind person, especially since he enjoys being incredibly social. Very few people seem to know the real him, as he often takes the chance when there is a crowd to show off his skills.

On a side note, he loves bright lights, music, explosions and generally mayhem. He especially loves carnivals and festivals, hence why he dresses up as a clown.
History: Not much is known about Inakamo. He has not come from one of the main families and was raised by a foster family after his mother died shortly after his birth from natural causes, only saying his full name. His foster father saw he had great ninja potential and contacted one of his friends, a Jonin from the Village Hidden In The Leaves who suggested that Inakamo be enlisted into the Academy. He graduated a few years afterwards.

He has now moved out from his foster father's house in the woods to the same apartments as Naruto and Chiyoko in order to be closer to the academy and palace.
Main Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Special Abilities: Chakra Strings Jutsu - much like how this is used to control puppets, Inakamo uses Chakra strings to set traps and launch heavy objects at great speed. While he can use Chakra strings on the living, it uses up far more chakra, plus an unsuspecting opponent, or at least an opponent who has far less chakra than him.
Carnival Ball Jutsu - He can summon his favourite toy from a scroll, a large wooden colourful ball. Due to his familiarity with this toy and his practice with it, he can keep a somewhat unlimited and unbreakable control over it using his Chakra Strings, and then launch it at his opponents, usually when they least expect it. He has many variations of this toy.
Earth-Style Jutsu - He has learned he has an affinity for Earth-style techniques, although he has only mastered one so far, what he calls the 'Dead Hand Jutsu', where he digs his hand into the ground and it burrows up and snatches the foe's ankle within a short radius.
Hobbies: Practice circus tricks, mainly. Also, sneak up on other characters and surprise them.
Relations: Friends with Chiyoko, mainly because she is the only person who doesn't shun him and doesn't mind his pranks (hence he stops pranking her).
Other: Along with his Carnival Ball, he also keeps summoning scrolls for explosives, flash bangs, fireworks and even an anvil.

[Dark-San]

Name: Kazuha Mizumoto
Gender: Male
Age: 10
Appearance: Standing at a mere height of 1.56 meters and weighing no more than 55 kilos. Kazuha is probably one of your average teenager from Konoha. The only way you can distinguish him is from his really dark rings around his eyes. He doesn't sleep much due to frequent insomnia and he is always dressed messy. At times, you could even spot him wearing different colored sandals. He is usually dressed sloppy but one good thing is that he is always dressed in dark colored clothes. Although nobody really knows why.

Personality: He is your dull type and doesn't really talk much. People tend to forget about him even though if he just besides them. In another word, he is treated as the 'Invisible man'. He doesn't get along with others as well and tends not to talk much unless necessary. Although when people do test his patience or when things get serious, he sometimes let the anger goes over his head. And does things without thinking of its consequences.

History: Born from a single parent family. His mother comes from a famous bloodline clan from the Mist Village. His dad is a former jonin from Sand Village. Both parents elope from their respective hometowns after disapproval of their marriage. After years of wandering in the wilderness, they finally settled down in Konoha. Although things were a little tough in a town filled with strangers, they finally settled down. When Kazuha's mom was impregnated with him, the father, the sole breadwinner, came down with an illness and passed away before Kazuha was born. Short of money and desperate to live on, she even considered going back to her hometown in the Mist Village. But she was later stop by Konoha officials, who were interested in securing her service due to her bloodline.

She later struck a deal with the third Hokage that after her pregnancy is over, she will serve in undercover missions. In exchange, their daily living needs were financed by the Village. However a few years after Kazuho is born, his mother is struck with an illness and have to have one of her legs amputated. Unable to serve her bond fully, the officials threaten to throw her and her young child out. But it was until that they discovered that Kazuha was born inheriting his mother's bloodline strongly that they changed their mind.

Since young, he was able to manipulated water, typically freezing and melting them as he pleased. And has since been burden with the ANBU missions that was supposed to be carried out by his mom. For the past 2 or 3 years, he has spend his time training and undergoing missions, while other kids of age are going through the academy, studying and playing.

Although his mom doesn't know much of her dead husband's background truly, the Konoha officials have very much in mind that they are rearing a prized cattle. Although he is blessed with his mother's bloodline, it has been said that his father also comes from a famous clan from the Sand Village that has possessed an Earth bound bloodline. They were hoping to witness of what sort of skills the after generation will possess with those two bloodlines. But it has been rumored that to unlock this bloodline, a certain condition must be met.

Kazuha is assigned to ANBU's intelligence and stealth operation department. Most likely to appear during Orochimaru's and Sand's village invasion during the Chuunin exams.

Main Jutsu: All rounder

Taijutsu: 4/10

His forte is his agility and speed. Although it has been said many times that Lee's speed amongst the genins is unrivaled. But little did he know that amongst the ANBU ranks, Kazuha's speed has already match his. But the problem is that Kazuha's melee combat abilities are average unlike Lee's.

His personality matches his purpose in the intelligence and stealth department well. Since Kazuha's nature ability of being ignored is good, he is able to blend into the crowd easily.

Ninjutsu: 7/10

Ice Claws:
People possessing of his bloodline can create a huge rock and an ice bridge in no time. But Kazuha's ability is a little different from them. Kazuha by no means is not a Taijutsu user. So if threaten into a situation, he would dropped the surrounding temperature around his hands to create ice claws. *Thinks of Wolverine from X-men* However this ice claws are different, they can be thrown from Kazuha's hand. Once it pierced into the victim's body, the water in the affected area will freeze and expand by spiking out from within. It would tear up the victim's skin and at times could severed the victim's limbs.

Absolute Zero:
This jutsu requires body contact. With just a simple contact with Kazuha's skin, the blood running through their skin will freeze up within 3 seconds. This jutsu is fatal once triggered. So anyone in Kazuha's team has to be careful once Kazuha triggers it. The victim dies with the 3 seconds from freezing within his body's interiors.

Genjustsu: 6/10

Mist Illusions:
Kazuha is able to create illusion no longer than 2 minutes using the water vapour around the surrounding. This 2 minute period is good enough for Kazuha to escape his pursuers, given his speed. He has never used it in an attacking situation before.

[Roy Karrde]

I may add in some additional details to expand on it. But pretty much I believe the character is well rounded as is.

Name: Iokawa, Hiro
Gender: Male
Age: 13
Appearance: His hair is messy black, dipping down to his eyes which are hidden underneath the hair. His skin is soft and a light tan. He is only five foot, two but his body is muscular for his age and hidden beneath a black one-piece jumpsuit. He has dark brown eyes that can be seen when he brushes his hair away from them. He keeps the head band placed in his messy hair to which it can some times be glimpsed. He carries a long a long yellow pocketed belt around his waist that he uses to carry any ninja related objects needed for missions. He has a small scar on his left cheek from a previous injury, he keeps it as a reminder about getting in over his head in battle.
Personality: Although it may not look like it he is extremely friendly to people, and keeps his past and hidden pains a secret. He doesn’t like to talk about his past and will usually lie about it. When asked about why he doesn’t use Chakara he will boast about how he has gotten too strong with Chakara and wanted to try something else out.
History: Originally born in the war torn Sand Village, Hiro only saw death and destruction at the hands of ninjas and chakara. Seeing this and seeing his father and friends killed at the hands of a bloody war, he shut out all connections of chakara within them, scared to even touch or use his own chakara in fear of causing the exact same harm that he had seen brought upon his home. When he was five his mother smuggled him into the Leaf village making a small and meager life inside of the village. Plagued with nightmares of his past Hiro eventually set out to become a ninja but would not use his Chakara no matter what.
Main Jutsu: Taijutsu
Special Abilities: Mighty Fist of Wind – A Taijutsu that uses the fist and arm to strengthen the air around it, compressing and firing the wind at a speed that when hit it feels the same strength as if hit straight on by the fist. This can be used for long range attacks against further away foes.
Hobbies: He builds small sand castles and clay figurines which give away a clue of where he was originally from.
Relations: Open
Other: Does not know how to use his Chakara, because of this is Chakara is very raw and if used can be extremely damaging to both him and his opponent, and can quickly be exhausted.

[Dominus]

Name:Akimoto, Akira
Gender:Male... when he feels like it
Age: 13
Appearance: Standing a little above average for his age, Akira normally looks rather lean but muscular, bearing green eyes and black hair of average length. In fact, overall, he looks almost freakishly average, nothing about him stands out in one way or another most of the time. Clothing-wise, he wears rather baggy unisex clothing, pants and a shirt, both lined with protective materials on the inside, in a green/gray combination of colors. He wears his forehead protector as a choker around his neck, feeling it's better to protect the neck than the forehead.
Personality: on the surface, he is rather amiable, you can rarely find him without a smile on his face, and he shrugs off adversity readily, but underneath, he's sneaky and often seeking out the secrets of others, something ingrained in him by his family. Those he truly considers friends, however, he will willingly fight and die for. Additionally, he has some unique viewpoints as to his own self identity, due to his bloodline.
History: Born into the Akimoto family means he was born into a family focuing on stealth and spying, centering on finding the secrets of others. He was raised with this in mind, being drilled on the family arts since he could walk, with additional training to increase control. However, unlike most of his family, he has pursued greater knowledge of Taijutsu, feeling one should be able to do more than just sneak around.
Notably, he has, throughout his time in the Academy, has kept tabs on everyone's grades and records by impersonating the teachers to gain access to them.
Main Jutsu: Taijutsu, with Genjutsu a close second.
Special Abilities: His family's unnamed bloodline is rather unique, enabling them to harness their own chakra to permanently alter their physical bodies as a form of permanent and complete, shapeshifting. Small changes like length of arm or leg are easy and require little to no concentration, but full-body changes, as well as gender changes, take a lot of focus, and can take as much as half an hour to complete.

Additionally, he has worked his shapeshifting into his taijutsu, enabling him to, for example, lengthen his arm or leg while punching or kicking, or bend his body to avoid a near hit. He has not come up with a name for this art yet.
Hobbies: He likes adding people's secrets to his 'little black book' which otherwise just looks like a ninja's bingo book.
Relations: Open
Other:

[Prof. Jb Wolf]

Name: Inuzuka Hige
Gender: Male
Age: 13
Appearance: Like any Inuzuka worth his name, Hige has a wild almost feral look to him. Somewhat stocky, he's larger around than most of his clan due to both a case of genetics and a love of food. Hair is light brown in color that falls just past his chin in messy locks. His eyes are a dark golden-brown though in times of stress or extreme emotion, his pupils narrow into animalistic slits. His hitai-ate headband is worn around his left bicep, but before he goes into battle, he place it around his head in a bandanna style. This leaves dark shadows around his eyes that make him seem all the more fierce. Having graduated, he's also earned the right to wear the Inuzuka Clan markings, the double red fangs, just beneath his eyes. Usually wears a red shirt beneath a black hooded-jacket that's half-way zipped up, navy blue cargo pants, and sandaru. Instead of wearing a kunai/scroll pack on his left leg like most nin, he instead had his pants modified so that both pockets on each side can serve as such. A crescent moon mixed with the Konoha Leafmark is stitched on the back of his jacket in white and green. He wears a dog collar that matches the one to his own dog, Ginmaru, though its a fang that dangles from it rather than a bone.

Personality: A wild, hot-blooded individual, Hige is often the first to a battle and the loudest. He puts a lot of energy into anything and everything he does, whether its training, cooking, or even walking Ginmaru. Despite being a bit reckless, he realizes that a ninja can't face every situation with yelling and fists. He knows that during a mission, a ninja needs to be able to rely on his teammate and will reign in his impulses. An affable and loyal person, Hige is a stalwart guy who will defend his village and his friends with a ferocity few can match.

History: Born and raised in Konohagakure, his father was heavily injured by Kyuubi during its attack. Though he recovered, he was deemed unfit to be a ninja any longer. So while he was raised by his father and mother (one of the non-ninja inhabitants of Konoha), he was trained by his Aunt Tsume. A natural, he and his partner Ginmaru have been together since he was old enough to crawl. He is one of the youngest members of the clan to take the Rite of Passage, where he and Ginmaru spent half a week within the outskirts of the Forest of Death. Upon completion he was presented with his father's dagger, carved from the fang of one of the First Inuzuka's dogs. He carries this with him wherever he goes. Nowadays he spends his days wandering Konhagakure and its outlying forests or frequent Ichiraku Ramen.

Main Jutsu: Ninjutsu/Taijutsu - Well versed in his family's techniques, Hige is also a capable fighter on his own whether armed or unarmed.
Special Abilities -Jujin no Jutsu (Man Beast Techniques) The ancestral art of the Inuzuka Clan, passed down from generation to generation. Techniques include

Shikyaku no Jutsu (Four Legged Technique) A supplementary technique, it forms the basis for the rest. By tapping into his chakra and the more primal nature of his body, Hige is given a boost in strength and speed while his nails lengthen into claws. His senses of hearing and smell are also enhanced, though this is as much a liability as an advantage. Often much more feral and wild in this state.

Jujin Bunshin no Jutsu (Man Beast Doppleganger Technique) A transformation technique, it is usually performed by or on Ginmaru. It transforms his canine companion into a physical replica of Hige in while using Shikyaku no Jutsu. The two are prety much indistinguishable from each other while the technique is in place, though if struck Ginmaru returns to his normal form. He must also be in this form in order for the two to unleash Jujin Taijutsu Ougi: Gatsuuga

Tsuuga (Piercing Fang) An offensive technique that both Hige and Ginmaru can pull off on their own. Launching themselves forward at the opponent, they begin to spin rapidly becoming literal whirlwinds of fang and claw. Jujin Taijutsu Ougi: Gatsuuga (Man Beast Ultimate Taijutsu: Double Piercing Fang) is a more powerful version of this technique as Ginmaru and Hige use Tsuuga at the same time, usually crisscrossing in mid-air. While the two have to stop between normal Tsuugas, while using Gatsuugathe two are able to attack continously though it takes a toll on both of their bodies.

Jujin Henge no Jutsu ~ Zangetsu (Man Beast Transformation Technique ~ Moon Cutter) Another transformation technique, this one is unique to Hige himself. Having once read of the ability to transformed a summoned beast into a powerful weapon, Hige immediately latched on to the idea. Using this technique, Ginmaru is transformed into a large metal claw-gauntlet that attaches itself to Hige's right arm. It substantianally increases his strength and speed, but he can only hold it for a minute at most before the two are seperate again. At the beginning he will still be developing this technique and even then he's wary of the reprecussions it might have on Ginmaru's body so is loathed to use it beyond a last resort.

Hobbies: Cooking, Playing catch, 'Walking' Ginmaru
Relations: Hige is the nephew of Tsume Inuzuka, making him Kiba and Hana's cousin. He's on good terms with all three of them, though he and Kiba are the closest having grown up together. Harbors a bit of a crush on Ayame, the owner of Ichiraku Ramen's daughter. Friendly with Chiyoko, mostly because she forages near where he and Ginmaru train. Has a conflicting relationship with Shodou Kukai - they often argue, but he respects her strength of character and shares her dislike for deceit.
Other: Hige only has one goal in life - To always have his father proud of him.

Name: Ginmaru
Gender: Male
Appearance: Somewhat of a runt in comparison to his parents, Ginmaru barely comes above Hige's knee when sitting. He gets his name from the silvery-white color of his fur. Resembles a labrador somewhat with his muscular yet lanky build and squarish features. Wears a collar similar to Hige's though his has a paw print charm.
Personality: More laid-back than Hige, Ginmaru enjoys sleeping in the noon sun or having his belly rubbed. That's not to say he isn't energetic, but it comes in strange fits and bursts. He was once nicknamed 'Cannonball' for his strength and sheer momentum would often topple others over. He is deathly loyal to his partner and would gladly lay his life down for him.
