Kakashi Hatake is a fictional character in the anime and
manga series
Naruto created by Masashi Kishimoto. He is the leader of Team
7, originally consisting of Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno. After Sasuke defects, Team 7 receives
Sai as a replacement.
The name "Kakashi" can be written in kanji as, which means "scarecrow." Understandably,
Naruto uses a scarecrow look-alike of Kakashi to practice on the day before Team 7's first test, since he then considered Kakashi as the main one to defeat. Also, when Sakura spies on Kakashi so he would take off his mask, he replaces himself with a scarecrow to get rid of her.
