Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke Uchiha (うちは サスケ Uchiha Sasuke^?) is originally one of the members of Team 7and is the founder and leader of Taka. He was created to be a rival to Naruto Uzumaki, as well as a "cool genius", which Kishimoto believed was an integral part of an ideal rivalry.^[70] He is one of the few remaining members of the Uchiha clan. Sasuke's sole desire is to kill his brother, and he develops a cold and withdrawn personality.^[71] His interactions with his fellow teammates, especially Naruto, make him focus less on revenge at the start of the series. During an encounter with his brother in Part I, Sasuke is easily beaten, which leads him to leave the village to seek more power from the criminal Orochimaru.^[72] His teammates' attempts to recover him from Orochimaru form a major component of the Part II plot. In the Japanese anime, Sasuke's seiyū is Noriaki Sugiyama, and his English voice actor is Yuri Lowenthal.
