Sumire Kakei (筧 ス ミ レ, Kakei Sumire), née Sumire Shigaraki (信 楽 ス ミ レ, Shigaraki Sumire), is a supporting character in the Boruto anime/manga series. She is a kunoichi from the Konoha Village Ninja Science Tools Team.

She is voiced by Aya Endō in the Japanese version and Erica Lindbeck in the English version.

Biography[]

Sumire Kakei is a genin of Boruto's graduating Academy batch. A former classmate and school friend of Boruto. She was the class representative of Boruto's class during their Academy years. She was seen mostly with Sarada & Chouchou during her Academy years, though she sometimes also hanged out with Wasabi and Namida with whom she is now teammates. Initially a genin in Team Hanabi, she is currently a research assistant in Konohagakure's Scientific Ninja Weapons Team.

Appearance[]

Sumire is a young girl with striking purple eyes that compliment her shoulder-length, purple hair. Her hair is styled with two long braided ponytails at the back and a fringe that covers her forehead. She has a simple yet elegant fashion sense, often wearing a black polo-neck shirt underneath a violet dress with a white collar. The dress is knotted with a purple ribbon, giving her outfit a seifuku overall look. She pairs this with long black shinobi sandals, completing her attire.

Personality[]

Sumire is a soft-spoken and reserved girl, much like other children her age who admire the Seventh Hokage. Despite her quiet demeanor, she genuinely cares for her classmates and goes out of her way to avoid conflicts. Sumire's motivation to become a shinobi stems from her desire to honor her late father's memory. When Sumire decides to carry out her father's final request, she becomes intensely focused and driven. Her rigorous training as a child has left her with little remorse for the harm she inflicts on former friends and other villagers.

When Boruto confronts her, she denies ever having been the Sumire he knew, but her newfound friendships with her classmates, who never intended to cause harm, ultimately lead her to let go of her past and take responsibility for her actions. She also forms a strong emotional bond with Nue, whom she sees as family. After reconciling with her classmates and returning to her role as the class representative, Sumire rejects her father's extremist views and embraces a kinder and more gentle approach.

She is highly analytical and strategic, quickly identifying the strengths and weaknesses of her friends' battle tactics and devising ways to best approach the Chunin Exams. As a member of the Scientific Ninja Weapons Team, Sumire becomes more confident and comfortable expressing herself, even admitting to her friends that she has developed romantic feelings for Boruto. Despite this, she remains embarrassed and tries to keep her feelings hidden from Boruto. During a critical situation in which Konoha is manipulated into believing Boruto has killed the Seventh Hokage, Sumire demonstrates great emotional control and maturity, remaining focused and composed while her friend Sarada becomes distressed. Her intuition also proves to be spot on as she correctly identifies Ada as the culprit behind the chaos.

Abilities[]

Sumire has proved herself as a highly capable kunoichi who has undergone rigorous training from a young age, honing her skills to a level far surpassing that of a typical genin. In combat, she has displayed impressive prowess, demonstrating her ability to hold her own against a group of elite and experienced ninjas. Her opponents have acknowledged her skills and have been left impressed by her fighting abilities.

One of Sumire's most powerful weapons is her deceptive and manipulative nature, which has enabled her to craft a new persona for herself. She presents herself as a meek and unassuming young girl, concealing her true abilities and intentions from those around her.

Sumire's intelligence has not gone unnoticed, as she was scouted by the prestigious Scientific Ninja Weapons Team at a young age. Despite being a relatively new member, she quickly proved her worth and became one of the team's most valued workers, demonstrating her aptitude for scientific research and development.

Interestingly, Sumire has displayed a curious immunity to Omnipotence, a powerful technique cast by Ada. The reasons behind this are yet to be explained, leaving many to wonder what other surprises Sumire may have in store.
