Kujo Clan

The Kujo Clan or Kujo Family are a clan of puppet-users originally from the Land of Rivers. Originally a nomadic tribe that migrated from beyond the Far West, selling their work and craftsmanship for modest prices. Eventually, with the marriage of a shinobi clan, they eventually gained the ability to mould chakra and brought these skills in union to imitate other puppeteering clans in the Land of Wind. With these skills they became a prominent figure in mercenary-nin work in the Land of Rivers. After the events of the Fūma Schism, the Kujo migrated again to the Land of Fire where the first boon in mercenary work was to be had. There, their skills were recognized by the Fourth Hokage, Ieyasu Akimichi and they were formally inducted as a clan of Konoha.

Aside from their unique skills as puppeteers and creators of poison, the Kujo have other tell-tale signs to recognize them from. Most, if not all, are born with dark hair. Pure-blooded Kujo having black hair, much like a raven's feather and vibrant, blue eyes.

The Kujo also produced one of the finer sets of puppets known to date, the Major Arcana, a set of 22 named puppets all with their own individual abilities that are a priceless commodity.
