Hatake Kakashi first appears in Naruto chapter 3 (1999) as the enigmatic leader of Team 7, comprising Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno. He is a highly skilled and respected ninja, known throughout the ninja world for his Sharingan eye, earning him the moniker "Kakashi of the Sharingan."

Kakashi's past is marked by tragedy, including the death of his father, Sakumo Hatake, a famed ninja known as the "White Fang," and the loss of his teammate, Obito Uchiha, who gifted Kakashi his Sharingan eye before his apparent death. These events heavily influenced Kakashi's personality, leading him to prioritize teamwork and the well-being of his comrades.

Throughout the series, Kakashi serves as a mentor and guide to his students, imparting valuable lessons about responsibility, sacrifice, and the importance of friendship. He plays a crucial role in their development as ninja and helps them navigate the challenges they face. Kakashi's calm demeanor and strategic thinking make him a valuable asset to the Hidden Leaf Village.
