Gosunkugi is a thief who operates in and out of the Land of Stone. On one occasion, he murdered a family of three and left the blame on another man that he briefly fought upon departure. That man was the local blacksmith Tokichi (who became Sazanami) who fled from the vengeful villagers and became a bounty hunter to hunt down Gosunkugi. Over the years he has accumulated a bounty of three million ryou. (Source: Narutopedia)
