You win...kudos! Granted I don't know exactly what kudos are, but that's how the saying goes. (a chocolate candy bar thingy in the kid's snack aisle at the grocery store...?)

Which one is Shikamaru?

He appears in the third or fourth episode when they assign teams, and then reappears more significantly in the second season. His hair looks like a pineapple, and he's terribly lazy. He's also a genius and does well in the chuunin exams.
