</FONTFACE>
<SIZE size="90">Appearance:
- His black hair is pulled into a loose ponytail, which he sometimes drapes over his shoulder.
- Eyes as dark as coal meet any stare cast his way, but carry a kindness within their depths.
- Yasu's body is slightly toned from years of training, but he's also on the leaner side.
- Usually dons a pale blue-gray kimono with wooden geta.
- As Mugon he dons a metallic red mask modeled after the Sharingan. The mask acts more as a helmet, covering his entire face and the top half of his head.
- A plain black headband covers his forehead, its long ties flowing out of the mask behind his body.
- Mugon wears a black long-sleeved shirt with a high collar in the style of the Uchiha.
- Keeps a shuriken pouch and kunai holster on him at all times.
Personality:
- Amiable. Yasu is kind to most anyone, at least at first.
- Carefree. Enjoys his free time...rues clan business.
- Charming. Has an undeniable magnetism to him, perhaps from his earnest nature.
- Friendly. Always one to lend a helping hand to those in need.
- Laid-Back. When it comes to clan matters, he doesn't take them too seriously.
- Reserved. Not completely, but he usually listens more than he talks.
- Sharp. Though he may not seem like it at first, Yasu has an analytical mind, and is unusually observant.
- Supportive. Doesn't believe so, but definitely has the makings of a teacher.
Other Information:
- A well-rounded and capable warrior. Yasu excels in multiple types of Taijutsu, his Fire Ninjutsu is superb, and his Dōjutsu gives him an edge when it comes to Genjutsu.
- Has yet to unlock the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan like his father and older brother.
- Isn't the smoothest guy around. Nonetheless, his antics are often endearing.
- Genuinely enjoys helping people. Whether its reading to the local children or assisting an elderly farmer with his crops, Yasu takes joy in it.
- Leads a double life as a cold and violent ANBU operative. This directly conflicts with his compassionate nature, causing him a lot of internal strife.
- While he may not agree with everything his father says, he loves his clan and everyone in it. He may not like the direction the clan is heading, but he would never dishonor his family.
- Notably fast. He's no Seikon, but Yasu is known for being light on his feet.
- Like most of his family, Yasu views himself as no different than the smallfolk. This humbleness made them extremely popular with Rice Country's residents.
- Doesn't take clan matters too seriously. Figures his input isn't needed much since his older brother Tōsō is heir to the clan.
- Dabbles in playing the shamisen. His mother taught him to play when he was young...and admittedly he's only kind of good.

History:
<FONTFACE fontface="tahoma">The lovable second son of the Ōta Clan.
Born in Rice Country as the second out of four children, Yasu has always been apathetic to matters revolving his clan. He will do what's best for his family, but the day-to-day operations of running the clan never interested him too much. This may have come about from watching his older brother Tōsō be groomed as heir ever since he could remember. Constantly being reminding that someone else was going to one day lead the clan has a way of eroding one's interest in the notion. Yasu isn't jealous by any means, however. In fact he has expressed many times his delight in not having to shoulder the weight of the entire clan. He claims he's not "business-savvy"...but everyone just thinks he's lazy.
Despite Ta no Kuni's peacefulness, the Ōta are a clan of warriors. Because of this, Yasu was trained from a young age in chakra usage. The family has never been considered a traditional ninja clan, forgoing the stealthy ways of the shinobi and instead focusing more on the art of direct combat. All male members of the clan are expected to learn how to do battle. Unlike the Uchiha, prodigies are rare among the Ōta, with emphasis being placed on hard work and perseverance instead. Those clan members that are blessed with the Sharingan undoubtedly have a leg-up, but every Ōta warrior works tirelessly to hone their skills. Even the "lazy" Yasu.
In his home nation of Rice Country, there are very few people that dislike him. He has a kind heart, and helps others whenever he can. Yasu's caring nature earned him the admiration of the smallfolk, and he often ventured out from the estate to play with the local children or aid families with their farms. All of his siblings love him unconditionally, and he is very close with all of them. Yasu shares a friendly but ever-competitive rivalry with his older brother Tōsō . He and Tōsō both are fiercely protective of Saya -their younger sister- who shifts constantly between nagging him about being more responsible and asking for help with her training. The youngest Kyō has a big heart, but likes to put up a tough front and act more mature than he really is in his quest to be stronger than both of his older brothers. His mother Suzu often dotes on him even to this day, usually embarrassing him in front of company. Arata, his stern no-nonsense father, wishes he would take a more active role in the goings-on of family business. But he still cares for him all the same. Though recently the two have been butting heads...
A few months ago Yasu's father announced his plans to relocate the clan to Konohagakure. This move was apparently brought about by some political and entrepreneurial ambitions he has. Aside from him, the rest of the family weren't too keen on leaving their home for some foreign country. But as is tradition the Clan Head has the final say in such matters. So with little ceremony and not much show, most of the Ōta packed up and left Ta no Kuni. Many of the country's denizens were greatly saddened by the departure of their unofficial guardians, but not all of the family left. A small number of the clan remained behind to continue watching over it, with Yasu's older cousin and his family taking over the duties traditionally held by the Clan Head. This event was probably the single biggest change to ever occur in Rice Country...and only time will tell whether or not it was a good one.
"Integration into Konoha is paramount." his father said of their arrival. The village knows of their clan, and would not turn down the chance to add a family of powerful Doujutsu users to its ranks. The fact that Uchiha blood runs through their veins also helped in this matter. Some of the older clans view the foreign Ōta as upstarts and some even mock their humble beginnings, but Yasu's father has assured the family that these detractors will all feel foolish one day. His aspirations for his family are limitless, and he wants nothing more than to see them rise as high as they possibly can. Yasu is concerned with the cost their ascent might incur. Recently he and his father have been butting heads, disagreeing on clan matters. They both want what is best for their family...but they have very different ideas on what that means.
