As well as this, being that he does not speak or socialize much, Ito seems to drop from existence when he is not on missions.

Ito is rarley found at his house during the day, quite often out in the woods around the village observing the animals.

Ito wears the Konoha headband proudly tied around his neck. The cloth of this forehead protector, unlike many other ninja's, is green, his favorite color. Ito has not identifying scars or other problems with his skin or body, no dis-figurations or anything of the sort to speak of. Ito does not resemble any member of his direct family. The only other relations to him living in his life are his mother, of which he does not remember, his father, Nero, and his young brother, Swanson.
Ito's clothes have a very small range of difference. He can usually be spotted with a bluish shirt that has a reddish trim; with a patch on the front that reads 'Strength'. The patch on the front is said to be a memento from his family, from some past event. Though it looks like a shirt, it is really more of a jumpsuit, being attached to the lower part of the outfit. The lower part of the outfit follows the fashion of the upper part.

History:
Young Life ---
In his young life, he lived with his father and mother, but was never at home. Even at three years of age, he was constantly out, somewhere around the outside of the house. The reason for this absence was his love of animals. All his life, he’d always have this love. He would sit out in the back yard, or around the side, watching his favorite animal, which happened to be the Mantis.
On many separate occasions, Ito had seen one fight off a Blackbird that had gotten to close. Before he joined the academy, he began to imitate these movements. His mother often watched him for hours, worried about him. She didn’t feel so strongly about the animals as he did, and she worried about how he’d do in the academy if his mind was constantly going back to such trivial things. About a month before he started the academy, she began to keep him inside, away from the creatures, trying to break him of the habit. However, though she tried to keep him away, he always found a way to see them. After some time, the mantis that he had come to watch everyday began to appear on his windowsill, as if drawn to him.
It never came into his room, but it would sit there, catching flies that came too close, on occasion. Ito tried to hide this, the mantis that virtually lived in his room, but it wasn’t long before his mother found it. The first time she saw it, she shooed it away, forcing it to leave the window. The Mantis returned, however, the very next day. Ito’s mother merely shooed it away again, then went about the daily activities. The third time she saw it, she shooed it away again, becoming slightly aggravated by it. The Mantis returned within a matter of moments, but Ito’s mother was still in the room. Moving toward the bug, she attempted to use her hand to smash it.
The Mantis didn’t moved, which slightly unnerved the woman. Then, when she swung at it, it moved quickly in an effort to intimidate her. To Ito’s surprise, it worked. His mother drew her hand back in surprise. Even though his mother wound up smashing it in the end, Ito never forgot the Mantis’ brave stand.
Academy Life ---
After Ito started at the academy, he found himself staring out the window. He stared at a group of birds that congregated in the tree just across from it. Because of this, Ito failed his first time through the academy. When he had to retake it, his mother was furious with him. She spoke with the teacher and made sure that he didn’t sit near any window or within sight of any animal, for it would draw his attention away.
His second time through the academy went by very slowly. Ito couldn’t keep his head in the lessons, but had nothing else to place his attention in. He finished all of his work during the first part of the class, even when the class went outside for throwing practice with kunai. For so long it had seemed as if Ito had gotten out of his odd fixation with animals and nature. For the first part of the academy, he was one of the top students in his class.
Through all of Ito’s childhood, it was his mother who stood out the most. She was a powerful Fire ninja, born from Konoha. Her name, Kokira, was the traditional name of the first born girl in her family, and she had intended on carrying on the tradition in her new family. Soon enough, Ito knew it was coming, she was pregnant again. Shortly after he graduated from the academy, she was to be giving birth to a baby, one that they hoped was a girl.
When the graduation neared, Ito slipped back into his usual habits. He barely graduated from the academy on his second run, barely passing the tests. About a week after graduation, before he was assigned to a team, his mother gave birth to the new baby. Sadly, she died of complications during the birth. Ito didn’t seem to have been too much affected by this, though that was far from the truth. While he was holding his brother, he made a silent promise to always protect him in his mother’s stead.
Genin Life ---
His Genin life went quite well. He was assigned to a team with the two top academy students from his class. Though they had been the top at the academy, they had been sheltered at home, not allowed to know anything other than what they had studied. They knew nothing of the Intohi clan or why their new sensei looked upon Ito the way he did. Though they didn’t know anything more than they’d seen at the academy about Ito, they didn’t hate him. They were both girls, named Kiri and Lin. Kiri was more adept with the Kunai than any of the academy jutsu that she knew, and Lin like to use the basic Genjutsu techniques that she had learned from her mother.
For so long Ito had been practicing his Wind techniques in secret, even during the academy. His chakra stores, for his age, were amazing. On mission simulations, his sensei would often place Lin and Kiri on a team against Ito, who always prevailed over the two. The girls didn’t seem to care about Ito defeating them, instead they drew from the losses and learned a lot.
The Sensei was constantly pushing Ito to his fullest extent, testing him in the best ways he knew possible. It seemed cruel, but this was to keep him preoccupied with work so that he wouldn't focus on animals or anything of the sort. Though he continued to push Ito to the limit of his strength, Ito grew at an incredible rate, physically and mentally. As Ito grew, so did his team. He purposely chose not to go to the Chuunin selection exams three years in a row, keeping his team back. When they finally went to the exams, Ito's team, with alot of work, prevailed over all the other teams and the three members were promoted to Chuunin.
Chuunin Life ---
Now a Chuunin, Ito left his former group. He no longer spoke to either of the girls unless they visited him at his house on the off day that he was there during the day. He took more dangerous solo missions now, unless he was specifically assigned to a team by the Hokage, which didn't happen often. Ito had fallen behind, though, in his genjutsu training and, as a result, had become quite ineffective in it, though he had created numerous wind ninjutsu for himself. In the course of his missions, Ito was bound to meet many odd and strange, yet powerful, friends and foes.
