Yagura Karatachi (Fourth Mizukage)

Yagura Karatachi (枸橘やぐら, Karatachi Yagura) was the Fourth Mizukage (四代目水影, Yondaime Mizukage, literally meaning: Fourth Water Shadow) of Kirigakure and the jinchūriki of the Three-Tails, Isobu. Yagura is primarily known for his bloody, despotic reign that contributed to Kirigakure being called the "Village of the Bloody Mist". As a child, he participated in the village's barbaric ritual where Academy students were forced to kill each other to graduate. After the Three-Tails revived after being “killed” in Rin Nohara, it was sealed within a young Yagura, who learned to control its powers over the years. As a jinchūriki, he became the third person to achieve full control over a tailed beast. Yagura, being the strongest shinobi in his village at the time, was elected as the Fourth Mizukage. In the anime, he effectively united the various islands of the Land of Water under his leadership. During his time under the control of Tobi (Obito Uchiha), his rule became even more tyrannical, with zero tolerance for any dissent, further cementing the village’s “Bloody Mist” reputation. Although Yagura died shortly after Tobi's hold on him was broken, he had a child, whose descendant is Kagura Karatachi.
