Kage Guide
Hokage Out of all the shinobi countries of the world of Naruto, the five most powerful are allowed to call their leaders by the Kage (Shadow) title. These five individuals are called the "Five Kage," they are Watershadow (Mizukage), Fireshadow (Hokage), Windshadow (Kazekage) , Earthshadow (Tsuchikage) and Lightningshadow (Raikage). The Kage are the leaders of their respective hidden villages and the ninja which inhabit their country. They are depicted below. Warning!

Sandaime Hokage became Hokage at a very young age. He was chosen as Hokage over another talented ninja named Danzou. Sarutobi Hiruzen was known as the Professor, a ninja with extraordinary skill and knowledge of jutsu. He would later pass on his knowledge to his students Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru. Jiraiya would then in turn pass on his knowledge to Namikaze Minato, who would become Yondaime Hokage. After Yondaime Hokage's death, the Sandaime came out of retirement to lead his village again.
Yondaime Hokage (Fourth Fire Shadow)
Sandaime Hokage first wanted Orochimaru to succeed him, but his evil ways caused Hiruzen to choose Namikaze Minato instead. Yondaime Hokage was faced with a difficult challenge not long after being appointed. One of the great demons, the Kyuubi fox attacked his village. Many ninja died and Yondaime had to give his life to beat the Kyuubi and imprison him in his newborn son. His death caused the Sandaime Hokage to come out of retirement and act as Hokage once again.
Godaime Hokage (Fifth Fire Shadow)
Though Tsunade was the granddaughter of Shodai Hokage and a student of the Sandaime Hokage, she was reluctant to become Godaime Hokage. Her boyfriend and little brother both had dreams of becoming Hokage and died while trying to further that goal. When she met Uzumaki Naruto she thought that he was also going down a foolish path, but his hard work and determination inspired her to think that becoming Hokage was a worthwhile thing.
Rokudaime Hokage (Sixth Fire Shadow) [Temporary]
After Tsunade exhausted herself saving the village when Akatsuki leader Pain attacked, she fell into an unconscious state. Danzou then made his move to convince the Fire Country Daimyou that he was the best choice to be the next Hokage. The Daimyou approved of Danzou through hypnosis, though Danzou did not have the full approval of the Leaf Jounin. When Danzou was killed and Tsunade returned from her coma, she returned to power as Godaime Hokage.

Village Leader Guide
Orochimaru The following ninja act as their village leader. Note they are not Kages. Only the head ninja from the Five Great Shinobi Countries may use the title of "Kage". The individuals thus operate under their real name only. Dotou
Akahoshi [Hidden Star]
Akahoshi replaced Sandaime "Hoshikage" after his sudden death. The position of "Kage" within Hidden Star has not been recognized by the Five Great Shinobi Nations. Most in the village believe the usage of the chakra enhancing meteor will make the village powerful enough to be on equal footing with the other five nations. With the death of Akahoshi and the destruction of the meteor, the use of "Kage" will probably end. It is currently unknown who is leading the village.
