Mizukage in Naruto Series

The leader of Kirigakure, known as the Mizukage, is considered the most powerful shinobi in the village. Throughout Kirigakure's history, there have been six individuals who have taken on the role of Mizukage.

Overview

The position of Mizukage was established when Kiri was founded by Byakuren, who became the village's first leader. The Mizukage is chosen based on their strength, regardless of age. The Mizukage's building, marked with the kanji for "water," is the prominent landmark in Kirigakure. Throughout history, the Mizukage's authority has had a significant impact on political and military matters in Kiri. The first four Mizukage governed with secrecy, internal politics, and limited interaction with other villages. However, the Fifth Mizukage introduced reforms that improved diplomatic relations with other villages.
