Kushimaru Kuriarare (栗霰串丸, Kuriarare Kushimaru) was a member of the previous generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist as well as Kirigakure's ANBU.
Kushimaru is very thin and tall in stature, which gives him an overall gangling appearance. He has long, shaggy, straw-coloured blond hair and due to his service within the ANBU, his face is concealed by a white, porcelain mask, with a green-coloured triangle on its lower half, slits for eye-holes and Kirigakure's symbol etched into the top.
His attire consiss of a sleeveless black shirt, matching pants, complete with a waist-guard, and Kirigakure's striped wrist and leg-guards. He also wore bandages around his neck like the other members of his generation of the swordsmen.
