Chōmei

1. 1
   Born of the Ten-TailsDebut Arc · Kazekage Rescue

   Named by the Sage

   Chōmei comes into being when Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki splits the Ten-Tails into nine beasts. Like its siblings, it is given a name and a self of its own.

2. 2
   Lucky Seven Chōmei

   The cheerful one of the nine

   Chōmei is light-hearted where most of its siblings are fierce or bitter. It calls itself lucky, and means it — the happy-go-lucky beast among the nine.

3. 3
   The Waterfall's beast

   A home outside the great five

   Chōmei comes to be affiliated with Takigakure, the Hidden Waterfall — making it the only one of the nine tailed beasts to belong to a country outside the five great shinobi nations.

4. 4
   Sealed into Fū

   A jinchūriki who matched it

   Chōmei is sealed within Fū of Takigakure — a kunoichi who shared the beast's own bright, easy temperament, so that beast and host were well met.

5. 5
   Captured by the Akatsuki

   Taken with its host

   Fū is caught by the Akatsuki. Chōmei is extracted from her and sealed into the Demonic Statue — and, with the extraction, Fū's life is lost.

6. 6
   Freed at last

   The last of the nine, freed

   At the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Chōmei is freed — released, like all its siblings, from the long cycle of being sealed, used, and taken.

Chōmei fights from the air. Its wing-tails carry it at high speed, hard to pin down, and it commands a range of insect-like techniques — scales, powders, and swarms. It carries a sensor's awareness of the chakra around it, and, like all nine tailed beasts, an enormous reserve of chakra it can lend to others or condense into a Tailed Beast Ball.
