Ino Yamanaka is a kunoichi of Konohagakure's Yamanaka clan. Ino is a confident, bold, and outspoken girl who has a mild-temper and occasionally lashes out at others if their personal habits bother her. At the same time, she is by nature very friendly and loyal to her allies, usually more motivated than her team-mates, and tends to take charge of them. She is also prideful in her appearance and often tries to lose weight by dieting in the hopes that it will make her more attractive to boys. Ino is quite knowledgeable about different types and meanings of flowers, sometimes making analogies to them when talking. Despite her assertiveness and uppity demeanor, Ino is a compassionate and kind person at heart, having been raised to embody the meaning of the bush clover: a blunt, candid love who treasures the bonds with her friends.
