In the anime, Samidare, along with Suiu and thirteen other genin from Amegakure, participated in the Chūnin Exam but failed to pass the first test. Curious about the objectives of Team 7 and Team 10, they secretly followed them, hoping to discover their intentions and potentially acquire something valuable to bring back to Amegakure. However, their initial attempt was unsuccessful.
Desperate to obtain the legacy of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, the Amegakure genin launched an attack using their unique technique. Their plan was swiftly thwarted when Sasuke Uchiha intervened and engaged them in battle. Utilizing his formidable Chidori technique, Sasuke defeated each of them, effectively putting an end to their assault.
Samidare exhibited traits of opportunism and curiosity, often observing and following other shinobi to uncover their objectives. He displayed a keen interest in understanding the motives and actions of those around him. This inquisitive nature drove him to not only seek knowledge but also to exploit opportunities for personal gain.
Samidare would clandestinely tail other shinobi, hoping to discover valuable information or coveted possessions that he could potentially steal for himself. His opportunistic and curious disposition made him a resourceful individual, always on the lookout for advantageous situations that could benefit him in some way.
Samidare possesses spiky brown hair styled in a ponytail, with short spiky bangs cascading over his Amegakure forehead protector. He adorns a distinctive green scarf around his neck and a light gray jacket.
While specific details about Samidare's abilities are limited, it is evident that he held a position of authority among his fellow Amegakure genin. This suggests that he possessed certain leadership qualities and possibly demonstrated proficiency in his ninja skills.
Furthermore, Samidare displayed a level of knowledge regarding foreign techniques.
He was able to recognize and identify the Shadow Clone Technique, indicating that he had some understanding of jutsu beyond those typically associated with Amegakure. This suggests that he may have received diverse training or had exposure to various ninja arts, contributing to his expertise in combat.
Samidare showcased proficiency in the Water Release nature transformation. He demonstrated his skill by collaborating with his comrades to execute the Grudge Rain technique, a powerful Water Release jutsu. This technique allowed them to unleash a torrent of rain infused with their collective chakra, which could be directed toward multiple opponents simultaneously.
Samidare is a word that means "early summer rain." It is also the name of a soundtrack used in Naruto Shippuden.
