Kage Information


Only the leaders of the five most powerful shinobi villages are given the title of "Kage" (translation: "Shadow"). These ninja are generally the most skilled ninja in their village and are able to show superior physical and intellectual abilities.

Below is a list of the five countries with the top shinobi villages.

Country : Village : Kage (Japanese)	Country : Village : Kage (English Translation)
Ho : Konoha : Hokage	Fire : Leaf : Fire Shadow
Mizu : Kiri : Mizukage	Water : Mist : Water Shadow
Rai : Kumo : Raikage	Lightning : Cloud : Lightning Shadow
Kaze : Suna : Kazekage	Wind : Sand : Wind Shadow
Tsuchi : Iwa : Tsuchikage	Earth : Stone : Earth Shadow

In the anime / manga of Naruto, the Kage's from the Hidden Leaf Village have been given the most importance, followed by the Sand Village. You can learn about their respective Kage's by selecting one of the links below. The other three major villages have not been concentrated on much, or at all, so their is no information on their leaders.
