Both of Hotai's parents died during the Kyubbi attack, so he was raised by his aunt Kya; being a jonin specializing in chakra nature Kyo focused most of her nephews training on chakra manipulation.  At age 8 she had him do the paper test and found out his nature was fire, befitting a Konoha shinobi; the only thing odd about it was that neither of his parents had this nature (his father was wind while his mother was lightning).  By the time he graduated from the academy at 10 he had the basic fireball jutsu down.  over the next few years Hotai researched all the fire techniques he could, slowly accumulating an arsenal; while he did study a few A-ranked ones--such as fire wall--he tries to keep their usage to a minimum, as he doesn't have 100% control over that level yet.  His best friends are his two squad mates:  Kasai Haruno and Mako, and he trains with them whenever possible.  He has an outgoing personality and loves to make friends, though when out on missions he tries his best to be professional and not give away to much information.
