Sarutobi Asuma is the leader of Team 10, consisting of Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Chōji and Yamanaka Ino. Not much is known about Asuma, only that he seems very laid back and is always smoking a cigarette whenever he is seen. Based on the name, many assume that Asuma might be related to the Sandaime Hokage, but 'Sarutobi,' the name he shares with the Sandaime, is definitely his family name, while it is probably the given name of Hokage. This may have no bearing on their family connection at all, however, given that many shinobi from Sandaime's early years - including Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Tsunade's little brother Nawaki, and Tsunade's dead lover Dan - have not been given more than one name. It is also worth noting that in Japanese culture, figures of respect or authority are often referred to by their family names. He uses trench knives (brass knuckles with a blade on one end) to fight. He can extend the blades of his brass knuckles with his chakra to injure the enemy even though the physical portion of the blade doesn't touch the enemy.
