Kisanta Yamamura is a male first-year student in the Ha-class at Ninjutsu Academy. He initially transferred from Fuuma Ninjutsu Academy early in his academic career but has since integrated fully, no longer primarily identified as a transfer student. Physically, he sports chestnut-brown hair arranged in a spiky ponytail, featuring four thick strands falling across his forehead. His facial traits include a wide face, a unibrow, upturned eyes, and a perpetually smiling wide mouth. His standard outfit consists of a faded red kimono adorned with three yellow squares in a triangular pattern, paired with dark teal hakama trousers. His defining passion involves collecting and raising slugs, which he carries regularly and individually names. This unconventional hobby often draws reactions from peers. Kisanta exhibits a notably carefree and air-headed demeanor, reminiscent of Shinbei Fukutomi. Their similar temperaments lead them to be grouped with the more serious Senzou Tachibana for balance. He shares living quarters with Kingo Minamoto, another late arrival to the first-year Ha-class. Both originate from Sagami Province. Linguistically, his name forms a pun on "xanthan gum" (キサンタンガム, *kisantan gamu*), a substance known for thickening liquids and creating slimy textures—thematically aligning with his slug-collecting interest. Across media, Kisanta appears as a supporting character in numerous episodes spanning multiple seasons of the television series. He features in theatrical productions, including the 2011 anime film *Gekijō-ban Anime Nintama Rantarō Ninjutsu Gakuen Zenin Shutsudō! no Dan* and the live-action film *Nintama Rantarou*, released the same year.
