1st Appearance: Chapter 35
Age: n/a
Clan: n/a
Village: Hidden Sound Village
Rank: Genin
Voice Actor: n/a
Techniques: Air Slicing Blast (Zankuuha), Ultimate Air Slicing Blast (Zankuu kyokuha)
Abumi Zaku, part of a team with Dosu Kinuta and Kin Tsuchi, is an arrogant, proud genin who stubbornly refuses to give up, even at the cost of his arms.
This Sound-nin had a difficult life as an orphan, and was beaten regularly for stealing food to survive. Orochimaru then took him in because he "liked" Zaku's angry, proud eyes.
Zaku likely had special surgery in his arms, giving him the ability to use his Zankuuha, a powerful jet of air that can destroy rock and rip flesh. Although powerful, it has a glaring weakness, and that is that it is clogged easily, as Zaku found out during his fight with Aburame Shino.
Zaku fought proudly as a representative of the Sound Village, but was sadly discarded like a pawn, as Orochimaru coldly stated.

Name: Aburame Shino
1st Appearance: Chapter 39
Age: n/a
Clan: Aburame Clan
Village: Hidden Leaf Village
Rank: Genin
Voice Actor: n/a
Techniques: Bug clone skill (Kikai bunshin no jutsu)
Behind Sasuke and Naruto, Shino is the strongest of the Nine Leaf Rookies from Hidden Leaf, yet, oddly enough, remains quite stoic and impassive. He talks only unless he absolutely has to, and not because of lack of intelligence. Rather, he is quick to pinpoint advantage's and weakness's when he fights. Not quite on Nara Shikamaru's, but closer than the other rookies.
From birth, people of the Aburame clan make a pact with an insect known as Destruction Bugs. In exchange for a lifetime of chakra which the insect's use for food, the host in which the bugs live in can call upon their service whenever they need to. Shino is no different, and has thousands of the insects living inside him. Aburame Shino utilizes the insects by having them sneak attack his enemy, while he distracts them with simple taijutsu. He could also have a clone of himself performed when in danger, or use a female bug as a tracking device hunting down fleeing pursuers.
Shino's first documented fight against Zaku Abumi demonstrates Shino's cool demeanor and strength, as well as his ability to think ahead of his opponent. After the fight, many people, including Naruto and Hyuuga Neji were impressed, but still, much remains unknown about him.

Name: Akadou Yoroi
1st Appearance: Chapter 63
Age: n/a
Clan: Akadou Clan
Village: Hidden Sound Village
Rank: n/a
Voice Actor: n/a
Techniques: Chakra Absorption (Chakra Kyuuin no Jutsu)
Yoroi is another participant of the chuunin exam. He has his face covered and wears occular lenses over his eyes. He makes a short appearance in the Naruto series as a spy for the Hidden Sound village. He joins the chuinin exam together with Kabuto and Tsurugu Misumi as three genins from the Hidden Leaf Village, but their true rank is unknown.
He has the exeptional ability of absorbing chakra, which enables him to suck out the mind and body energy from an enemy's body by putting his palm onto the enemy. We only see him fight and lose to Sasuke in the preliminary matches.

Name: Akimichi Choji
1st Appearance: Chapter 39
Age: n/a
Clan: Akimichi Clan
Village: Hidden Leaf Village
Rank: Genin
Voice Actor: Kentarou Itou
Techniques: Meat Tank (Nikudan Sensha)
The big-boned Choji is a pupil of Asuma and a teammate of Shikamaru and Ino. Choji spends most of his time eating, thinking about eating, and resting. He has pretty funny jutsu like the meat tank, where he triples his size and transforms himself into a huge spinning ball. And then uses his chakra to roll the ball in all directions.
He isn't really motivated to fight or do anything for that matter. The only way to get him to fight or help is to reward him with food. But when people call him chubby,fatty(...etc.) / mocking his weight he gets pissed off, and won't hold back. Since he's part of the Akimichi Clan who specializes in body enlargement jutsu he can also use the clan's food pills to increase his power tremendously, but putting a heavy strain on the body. Choji is someone who is, but mustn't be under estimated.
