The founder, the leader, and the brain of Mujina Bandits is Shojoji, and he also a missing-nin as well. His name is infamously known worldwide as his name included in the top tier of the blacklist in Konoha’s Bingo book. 

Shojoji mastered a unique Jutsu called Shikabane Bunshin no Jutsu. This technique can make Shojoji disguise as another person by “eating” the person’s brain. His disguise is perfect because he can mimic the shape, behavior, and the expertise that his victim has.

The first is Tsukiyo. He is positioned as the second in command and the right hand of Shojoji. Tsukiyo has a unique Jutsu namedTsuchikage no Jutsu, which shares similarities with Nara clan’s Kagemane no Jutsu.

The second one is Kokuri, a Hozuki Castle’s inmate who is trapped and forced to join the group. He later betrayed the organization and stole some funds. In the end, he killed by Shojoji.

In the manga, Mujina Bandits is often rob banks, pillage villages, and wreak havoc like bandit groups in general. But in the anime, they have bigger connections, and they managed to spread their notoriety to various ninja villages.
