Yahiko was a shinobi from Amegakure. Alongside his fellow war orphans, Nagato and Konan, he founded and led the Akatsuki in an attempt to bring peace. Yahiko's personality was similar to Naruto Uzumaki's, albeit with a few darker differences. Like Naruto, his dream was to be a leader of his village, and he never gave up no matter. Yahiko was shown to be sharp-witted, cares deeply for its members, loyal, has good cooperation, silly, likes to negotiate, and sometimes childish.
