Yamanaka, Inoichi

山中いのいち

Inoichi Yamanaka is a Jonin from Konohagakure, and together with Shikaku Nara and Choza Akimichi, he forms the first Ino-Shika-Cho trio.
He belongs to the Yamanaka clan and owns the Yamanaka flower shop alongside his daughter, Ino Yamanaka. Inoichi is a member of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, which comprises three Jonin from the Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi clans, respectively. His daughter, Ino, is part of her own Ino-Shika-Cho team, a continuation judged by the fact that their fathers were once teammates in their early days as ninja.
Inoichi, presumably the head of the Yamanaka clan, has demonstrated himself to be a highly capable ninja. He is well-versed in all of his clan's secret techniques. During the Invasion of Konoha in Part I, Inoichi skillfully performs the Mind Body Disturbance Technique to make the invaders he encounters fight against their own allies without any self-control. Further proof of his skill was shown by his role as an interrogator during Pain's invasion. He was able to skillfully probe the mind of one of Pain's Amegakure loyalists, perceiving a person's entire day of memories in under a minute, even though Pain had guarded it with mental blocks and traps. He has also shown the ability to communicate telepathically with his daughter, Ino.
He is also skilled at tracking targets through their chakra trail, as long as the target's chakra signature stays the same.
