Zabuza is a Nukenin (Missing-nin) formerly from Kirigakure. Being a mist-ninja, most of his Jutsu are water-oriented. He had tried to kill the Mizukage and attempted a coup d'état on the Mizu no Kuni (Land of Water) but failed, and tried to finance another one. He is also known as the "Kirigakure no Kijin" (霧隠れの鬼人, "Demon of the Hidden Mist") since he once single-handedly killed all of the students in the ninja academy (that is also why Kirigakure stopped pitting students against one another in battles to the death). Zabuza is of Jōnin level and, as a member of the Kiri no Shinobigatana Nananin Shū (霧の忍刀七人衆, "Seven Swordsmen of the Mist"), wields a large sword, as we see in the fights between him and Hatake Kakashi, when he was hired by Gatō to kill Tazuna; he actually manages to overpower Kakashi and trap him within his specialty Suirō no Jutsu, and would have won if it weren't for Uzumaki Naruto's clever intervention.

Zabuza was the one who picked the lonely Haku off the cold streets and agreed to take him in if Haku were to serve him, thus gaining his undying loyalty. When Haku sacrifices his life to save Zabuza, jumping in between him and Kakashi's Raikiri, Zabuza feels nothing, for he saw Haku as merely a tool; but Naruto, outraged at this lack of emotion, yells at Zabuza that he cannot understand how he wouldn't care at all, however we finally see that Zabuza did indeed care deep down about Haku as he becomes visibly upset.

Zabuza died plunging with Naruto's kunai in his mouth (both his arms having been disabled in battle with Kakashi earlier) into the ranks of Gatō's men, and being impaled upon countless weapons. However, this was not before killing many of them, and finally Gatō himself. In the manga, Zabuza kills him by decapitation with the kunai. In the anime, Zabuza slashes his chest several times, which causes him to fall off the bridge. Before Zabuza died, he asked to be laid alongside Haku.
