Biography:

Kakashi Hatake is the team leader of team 7, originally consisting of Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke. He is one of Konoha's elite Jonin ninja, having served in ANBU and having mastered many jutsus.  Kakashi is also known as Copy Ninja Kakashi and Sharigan Kakashi because of his left eye is a Sharigan eye.  With the powerful abilities of the Sharingan, Kakashi is said to have copied over one thousand jutsus.  However, even though the Sharigan is a bloodline ability of the Uchiha clan, Kakashi is not related to that family.  He received the Sharigan surgically as a final gift from a dying teammate, Obito Uchiha.  Because he is not of Uchiha lineage, Kakashi only has limited use of the Sharigan and prolonged use drains his chakra rapidly.  Hence, Kakashi normally keeps his left eye covered with his headband and unveils the Sharigan only when it is absolutely necessary.

Kakashi usually has a lazy look about him and always seems to be tardy.  Bust despite his appearances, Kakashi is a highly intelligent ninja with the skills to match.  His belief is that your teammates come first before anything else during a mission, and has passed those values onto his own students.

Abilities and Jutsus:

Raikiri (Ninjutsu)
'Lightning Edge' is a powered-up version of Kakashi's original Chidori technique. Although Raikiri produces a more densely packed mass of chakra, it also requires more skill and concentration to control.

Pakkun (Summon)
Although Pakkun is the smallest member of Kakashi's ninja dogs, he is by far the smartest.  He has the ability to speak, and combined with his tracking skills, he is an invaluable companion guide.

Sennen Goroshi (Taijutsu)
'Thousand Years of Death'  is a painful technique where Kakashi puts his index and middle fingers together (coinciden -tally forming the 'fire' hand seal) and thrusts them into the opponent's rectum. Naruto experienced this jutsu when he fought Kakashi for the first time.

Suiton: Great Waterfall (Ninjutsu)
This jutsu fires a massive spiraling column of water at the enemy.

Doton: Inner Decapitiation (Ninjutsu)
An earth jutsu where Kakashi pulls the victim from under the ground and trap him there with only his head above ground so it appears he's been decapitated.

Ninken (Summon)
Kakashi can summon a pack of eight ninja dogs to come to his aid.  Their primary purpose is for tracking targets using their scent.  In combat, the ninja dogs have been used to bite into an opponent to keep him immobile while Kakashi prepares for a more powerful attack.

Sharingan (Special)
The Sharigan is Kakashi's trump card.  It grants him enhanced perception, the ability to perform high level illusionary techniques as well as copy an opponents jutsu and/or hand seals perfectly. Kakashi gained his Sharigan from his dying teammate, Obito Uchiha.

Mangekyou Sharingan (Special)
Kakashi's 'Kaleidoscope' Sharingan appears to function differently than Itachi's version. His version has the ability to warp space itself by creating dimensional rifts that can sever limbs or even suck in a huge explosion. However, using this ability is extremely tiring and requires Kakashi to rest extensively after.

Suiton: Water Dragon Blast (Ninjutsu)
This jutsu creates a torrent of water in the form of a serpentine dragon and lauches it at the opponent.  A total of 44 hand seals are required to activate this jutsu.
