Anko Mitarashi is a tokubetsu jōnin from Konohagakure who teaches at the academy. She is similar to Naruto Uzumaki in terms of being loud, stubborn, and impulsive, but has a strong commitment to her village and mission. She has light brown, pupil-less eyes and black hair styled in a short, spiky, fanned-out ponytail with a blue tint in the manga and violet in the anime. Overall, Anko is a strong-willed, capable, and fiercely independent woman who is determined to bring Orochimaru to justice.
