Hakai is a ninja of Saiga village and has a reputation of being a very brutal killer. His naming convention is unique and allows others to recognize him as a foreigner from the island of Edomura, which currently serves as a colony for the Saiga village, which in turn is located in the country of Saigram and dubs as a large port.

Hakai also features a short height of 168 cm/5'6",a buzz cut hairstyle, blonde hair (not his natural colour), green eyes and average build. Hakai is currently 31 years old and single, his last serious relationship lasted 2 months.

As a native from the island of Edomura, Hakai's full name is stylized exclusively in kanshi alphabet, as opposed to Saigramite names such as Tommy Takizawa, which feature a family name stylized in kanshi alphabet and given names stylized in western xervosi alphabet.

He currently serves Saiga under the nickname of the Hellfire Tiger, an alter ego which allows Hakai to reinforce Saiga's reputation as a strong village capable, of decimating it's opponents with extreme prejudice and impunity.

Unfortunately for Hakai, the council of Saiga has decided, that Hakai has peaked as a ninja and should start to pass on his knowledge to the new generation of fledgling ninjas (known as Genin) in order to compensate for the shortage of mentors currently plaguing the village.

The council, however, was not unanimous in this decision, many fearing that Hakai will pass along many of his bad habits such as, his stubbornness, his impulsivity or the rebellious attitude of his youth.

Of the council members who believe in Hakai's potential, many will advocate that Hakai is a very competent ninja, with an amazing work ethic who was able to defeat many strong enemies.

His biggest assets as a potential instructor is the fact that he is aware of his shortcomings, a skill which was crucial in his ascension among the ranks of the Saiga ninja.

If not for the fact that Saiga has lost many ninja with greater potential or affinity for becoming a mentor figure, Hakai would never have gotten the potential to once again grow as a person - by learning to become a respectable role model for the ninja of tomorrow, in spite of his shortcomings.

Hakai specializes in Yang and Fire Style ninjutsu and is considered by many a close to mid range fighter. As a Yang style user, Hakkai favors the use of techniques aimed at enhancing physical abilities, (such as gaining super strength, super endurance or super agility) and the techniques of others but he has a major aversions towards both Yin and Yang styled entropic and illusory techniques.

To have an aversion for a certain style of ninjutsu means the resulting technique will consume more spiritual power than needed in order to create a weaker effect then if it were cast by someone who simply lacks affinity for the certain style of ninjutsu in question.

Hakai's favorite branch of ninjutsu is collaboration ninjutsu, where two casters combine their powers to create an advanced technique. He has two familiars which he can summon. One is a male ferret capable of using illusory and lighting styled techniques while the other is a female skunk specializing in Yang styled techniques, but can also use Water and Wind styled techniques. The ferret chose to use the name Jerry Jester while existing in Hakai's world, while the skunk was named by both Hakai and Jerry as Jade, due to her jaded nature when they first met. They were both summoned at once, which is a rare feat for any ninja to pull off.

As a ninja, Hakai is a controversial person who values self improvement and having a strong work ethic, over developing interpersonal relationships and his ninja motto is "A ninja who can't identify and overcome his shortcomings can never get the job done".

Hakai often comes off as very confrontational and rude/vulgar or simply lacking in tact or diplomacy, due to the fact he likes to be very direct with people. Furthermore Hakai considers himself blessed as being capable to do a job he thoroughly enjoys and his highly competitive with others for the sake of bragging rights and financial gain.
