Kina is a skilled fighter of the Howling Wolf Village's Kodon clan, a group of natural drug makers. Despite his skill, his overconfidence, born from a need to redeem his father Tenma, often lead to him losing fights. Unbeknownst to him, his father had sealed the village's great beast, Roen, in a last ditch attempt to protect the village. Living alone with his older brother Reishi, he often lashed out violently when harassed by the Sendo clan, runners of a pharmaceutical company who demanded the secrets to creating the Kodon clan's legendary Kotaro drug, though the process was purely natural and thus impossible to teach. During one outlash, the child accidentally awakened Roen's power, killing the envoy accidentally, mortifying himself until Reishi sedated the child with a form of Kotaro, causing him to forget the event entirely. When Sasuke arrived in Howling Wolf Village, just as his recently-passed older brother Itachi had not long ago, to buy an eye-healing form of Kotaro, Kina tried to befriend him, though Sasuke's unresponsiveness ultimately caused him to drop his ruse and instead propose a trade: he would freely feed and house Sasuke in exchange for his help investigating a string of murders. However, when Sasuke discovered that Reishi may be the perpetrator, killing Sendo members in retaliation, he attempted to disuade Kina's investigation. However, when Kina was kidnapped, but Sasuke and Reishi discovered Kina asleep amid a pile of Sendo guards, the two realized the truth: Roen, in Kina's slumbering body, was the killer. However, they were suddenly attacked by a mob of Howling Wolf Villagers, who were already suspicious of Kina and Reishi and now had direct evidence they were the killers. As Reishi was incapacitated by the beating, the attacks on Kina released his seal, allowing the combined frustration of Kina and Roen to break free, slaughtering villagers left and right. Had Reishi not redid the seal within 10 minutes, Roen would have been released and Kina would have died, but the exhaustion killed Reishi in the process. Knowing that Kina couldn't go home, he modified the memories of any surrounding villagers slightly with a genjutsu; Kina was a hero who valiantly defeated the murderer, Reishi, and sealed away Roen. Warning him that he could only strengthen the seal for 7 years, by which point he would be 18, he offered to take Kina with him to train, but Kina ultimately wished to continue the life he would have had with Reishi.
