Tsunade (Naruto)
Tsunade (綱手?) is a fictional character from the Naruto anime and manga created by Masashi Kishimoto. She is considered among the greatest kunoichi and medical-nin in the series and is also one of the legendary Sannin of Konohagakure. She is portrayed in the anime by Debi Mae West (English) and Masako Katsuki (Japanese). In the video games, she is also portrayed by Katsuki (Japanese) and West and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (English).
Tsunade, as well as her former teammates Jiraiya and Orochimaru, is a former student of Hiruzen Sarutobi. Despite looking like a buxom woman in her twenties, Tsunade is actually an older woman in her fifties who uses a transformation technique to maintain her youthful appearance. Tsunade is also the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki with many referring to her by the Japanese honorific "hime" (princess). Despite her connections to the first three Hokage, Tsunade hates the position when she is first introduced. After her boyfriend Dan Katō and brother Nawaki die in pursuit of their dreams to become Hokage, she loses faith in the title and the concept of dreams. She regains her faith in both after meeting Naruto Uzumaki, who consistently overcomes any obstacle in his own dreams of being Hokage. As a result, Tsunade accepts the position of Fifth Hokage (五代目火影 Godaime Hokage?) to protect Konohakagure on behalf of everyone she has loved.
Despite the importance of her position, Tsunade tends to avoid her everyday duties, instead leaving them for her assistant Shizune. She will fulfill her role to address matters important to the village, and throughout Part II leads Konoha in combating the Akatsuki. Tsunade is a compulsive gambler with terrible luck, though with a rare winning streak perceived by her as a bad omen. Despite her odd personality, Tsunade is a talented medical ninja who can heal injuries that most others would consider incurable, and also possesses superhuman strength that allows her to reduce buildings to rubble. Tsunade devised a method of mitotic regeneration for herself that make her nearly invincible in battle yet greatly shortens her overall lifespan.
