Nowaki is a skilled shinobi best known for his mastery of Typhoon Release, a powerful wind-based kekkei genkai. He made his anime debut in Naruto Shippuuden Episode 484 and also appears in the light novel Sasuke Shinden: Book of Sunrise.
Before taking the name Nowaki, he served as leader of the Lightning Group under the alias Fuushin. He earned his reputation through the Coliseum, an underground arena where wealthy collectors pit ninja against each other—a proving ground where he consistently excelled. He's skilled enough to have briefly held his own against Sasuke Uchiha himself, which speaks volumes about his combat abilities.
His Typhoon Release is no joke. The technique lets him conjure devastating winds that can mow down opponents or blind them entirely. When he really puts effort into it, the power scales up dramatically—fans often note that his enhanced storms have matched and even overpowered Sasuke's Complete Body Susanoo, forcing it into a defensive position. The storms he can generate are severe enough to blanket an entire island, making him genuinely formidable in large-scale combat.
