Full name: Hatake Kakashi
Meaning of name: Farm/farmland (Hatake) Scarecrow (Kakashi)
Ninja Rank: Jonin, former ANBU

Hatake Kakashi is a proud jounin of Konohagakure. His father was the White Fang of Konoha, so Kakashi's fame began even before he was a ninja. However, Hatake Sakumo shamed himself on a mission by saving his teammate rather than finishing the mission, causing Konoha great losses. At the age of five, Kakashi's father commited seppuku (a form of suicide) in front of him, causing Kakashi to turn into a strict, go-by-the-rules shinobi.

Kakashi's own fame would eventually override his father's. He became a genin at 5 - a feat most shinobi accomplished by 12! - and a chuunin by 6. He was a jounin by 13, eventually claiming the status of ANBU captain - and living to tell the tale. His fame can be traced to his Sharingan eye - a dying gift from his friend Uchiha Obito - that earned him the name Copy Ninja Kakashi.
