"I have arrived! The world renowned, dashing, gallant Jiraiya-sama, the gentleman thief!"

A hot blooded, gutsy ninja who appeared from the Wanokuni gate, Jiraiya is an alias he uses in his activities as a noble thief, and not his true name. He's a (self-proclaimed) kind, honest and lively fellow who steals gold and other valuables from the wealthy to redistribute to the poor. He himself lives a humble life freeloading at a local temple in utter poverty, and will take on just about any job for rice. Jiraiya likes to spread happiness to those most in need of it, and feels favorable to like-minded people.

He has power many times that of a normal human thanks to the power of Gama, his horns serving as proof of his bond with the great horned toad. The great Gama's whiskers are woven into his stealth gear, allowing Jiraiya the power to summon giant toads as needed. The scarf around his neck, too, is a manifestation of the toad and can grapple opponents like a tongue. Jiraiya instinctively despises snakes.

Notes

Jiraiya's name and toad motif draw inspiration from the myth of Jiraiya, a ninja whose signature technique was shapeshifting, particularly in the form of toads.
