Was Kagami Uchiha a teammate of Hashirama or of Tobirama?

Of Tobirama, the Second Hokage: he was chosen among his six direct subordinates, one generation after the founders, alongside Hiruzen, Danzo, Homura, Koharu and Torifu — never on Hashirama's team.

Is he Shisui Uchiha's father or his ancestor?

His ancestor. The fourth databook calls him Shisui's “ancestor,” without specifying the degree of kinship. The idea that he was his “father” comes from pirated translations of one chapter and is not part of the canon.

What techniques or what Mangekyo Sharingan did he have?

None is established. He has the Sharingan like every Uchiha, but no named jutsu, no elemental nature and no Mangekyo Sharingan is canonically attributed to him — nothing should be invented for him.

Why is this obscure character notable?

Because he was exceptionally loyal to Konoha and embodied the Will of Fire: Tobirama cites him as an Uchiha who escaped the Curse of Hatred, which earned him the trust of both Tobirama and Danzo. His interest lies in that loyalty, not in combat feats.

Where exactly does he appear?

In flashbacks only: in the manga in the chapter of Danzo's death and then in the reanimated Hokage arc; in the anime around the Kinkaku Force sequence. He is absent from the Boruto series.

An Uchiha even Danzo trusted. Kagami, a jonin of Konoha's first generation, was one of the Second Hokage's six direct subordinates: Tobirama counted him among the rare Uchiha who had escaped the Curse of Hatred. A teammate of Hiruzen, Danzo and Homura, and an ancestor of Shisui according to the fourth databook — the degree of kinship, however, is never specified. His known abilities and the battle against the Kinkaku Force complete the profile.

An Uchiha even Danzo trusted: that says everything about how exceptional Kagami is. A teammate of the Second Hokage Tobirama and an ancestor of Shisui, he embodies an Uchiha turned toward the village rather than toward hatred.

Tobirama's Team

Kagami Uchiha was a jonin of Konoha's first generation, chosen among the six direct subordinates of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. He therefore belongs to the generation that comes after that of the founders.

His five teammates are heavyweight names in the village's history: Hiruzen Sarutobi, the future Third Hokage, Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane and Torifu Akimichi.

Six shinobi crouched in a circle in a dark forest around an armored man with spiky white hair. — The Second Hokage's escort during the First Great Ninja War: Kagami was one of them.

An Uchiha Loyal to Konoha

Rare for a member of his clan, Kagami was deeply loyal to Konoha and embodied the Will of Fire. Tobirama names him among the Uchiha who transcended the Curse of Hatred.

That reputation earned him something precious: the trust of both Tobirama and Danzo, two men otherwise known for their distrust of the Uchiha. That is exactly what makes the character interesting.

A tight group of black-haired shinobi with raised collars, gathered in the half-light. — The Uchiha Clan, of whom Tobirama named only a few members as having transcended the Curse of Hatred.

Shisui's Ancestor

According to the fourth databook, Kagami is an ancestor of Shisui Uchiha — “ancestor,” not “father”: the exact degree of kinship is never specified.

The “his son Shisui” confusion comes from pirated translations of one chapter; the databook contradicts it. The link is real, but distant.

Close-up portrait of a young shinobi wearing a Konoha headband, his red eyes marked with three tomoe. — Shisui Uchiha: the fourth databook makes Kagami his ancestor, without specifying the degree of kinship.

His Known Abilities

Caution is called for here: like every member of the clan, Kagami has the Sharingan, shown briefly in a flashback. But no named technique, no elemental nature and no Mangekyo Sharingan are attributed to him.

His narrative interest lies in his atypical loyalty, not in combat feats: the canon gives him no detailed fight scene. So nothing should be invented for him.

Close-up of a young shinobi wearing a Konoha forehead protector, his face scratched, both eyes marked with the Sharingan's three-tomoe pattern. — The awakened Sharingan is just about all the canon shows of his abilities.

The Battle Against the Kinkaku Force

Kagami appears only in flashbacks, notably during the First Great Ninja War. There, Tobirama's unit is surrounded by the formidable Kinkaku Force from Kumogakure.

Tobirama chooses to sacrifice himself as a decoy so that his escort — Kagami among them — can flee, after naming Hiruzen as Third Hokage. The character is absent from the Boruto series.

Two massive men, one blond and the other with silver hair, wearing horned headbands with a kanji tattooed on the arm, against a blue sky. — The Kumogakure brothers whose unit surrounds Tobirama's escort during the First Great Ninja War.
