One of the most mentioned Raikage in Naruto’s era is A – the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure.
A’s fighting style combines taijutsu and ninjutsu to form a powerful type of ninja – taijutsu.
Below are 5 interesting information surrounding the Fourth Raikage:
1. The Fourth Raikage was the last person until now to be named A
In Kumogakure, there was a custom that Raikage candidates or those raised as Raikage would be named `A`.
Unfortunately, this custom is no longer maintained because the fifth Raikage, Darui, did not have to change his name to `A`.
2. The duel between `Kage` Minato and A did not happen
A and Minato had a fierce duel during the third great ninja war.
After the Third Great Ninja War, the Third Raikage died and A rose to become the Fourth Raikage, while Minato was chosen to become the Fourth Hokage because of his achievements in the war.
3. A is left-handed
A was originally left-handed or more accustomed to using his left hand than his right.
4. A is one of the few people who can damage Susano’o
A is one of the few characters strong enough to be able to damage Susano’o, specifically Sasuke’s Susano’o.
5. A is built in the image of a wrestler
In an interview, Kishimoto explained that A was designed as a tough and strong male character, so the author drew him with a lot of muscles.
