Name: Hayate Gekkou
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Birthday: November 2
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 128 lbs
Blood Type: AB
Affiliation: Konohagakure
Previous Occupation: Examiner
Hayate served as the examiner for the preliminary matches during the third phase of the Chuunin Exams. His name is pretty fitting—"Gekkou" translates to moonlight while "Hayate" means quick as wind or hurricane, which matches his fighting style.
Not much is public knowledge about his overall skill set, but he's known for mastering the Dance of the Crescent Moon, an advanced technique that floods the area with clones while the user attacks from above where the opponent can't see. When he attempted this move against Baki, it didn't land, but Baki was clearly impressed enough to comment that the village had some serious talent—especially considering Hayate had perfected such a complex jutsu at his age. He carries a katana and fights with impressive speed, which he proved during the exams when he instantly stopped Neji from landing a hit on Hinata.
