Raijin is a hulking convict who, together with his elder brother Fujin, forms the pair mockingly nicknamed the Legendary Stupid Brothers. Locked away inside a Konoha correctional facility, he pours his enormous strength almost entirely into a single obsession: securing his next meal.
A mountain of a man, Raijin stands even taller than his brother and carries a heavy, rounded frame. His open olive vest, cut with a jagged zigzag collar, leaves his stomach bare above a pair of shorts. Narrow eyes sit beneath sparse, thin brows.
Nearly every thought Raijin has circles back to eating, a weakness the prison staff exploit by rationing meals to keep both brothers docile. Anyone who ruins a meal risks a burst of murderous rage. Slow of mind, he leans on Fujin whenever something baffles him, though his brother's answers tend to be just as foolish. The pair also carry a swollen sense of entitlement, calling food handed to them an offering.
For all their dullness, the brothers share a deep affection. When Ino Yamanaka seized their minds to turn them against each other, both sensed the wrongness and tried to shake the other loose. They grew attached to Mizuki for feeding them and promising a grander feast under Orochimaru, yet the moment Tsunade threatened to withhold supper, they forgot him entirely and bolted back to their cells.
The brothers wield freakish strength and stamina that only swell as their anger rises, letting them leap great distances and move at blistering speed. Rumor held their might rivaled Tsunade's, a claim she disproved by flicking each of them in the forehead and launching them several feet backward. No cell can hold Raijin; he shatters iron doors with ease, and the combined restraints of Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji failed to keep him pinned. He shrugs off punishing blows without lasting injury and possesses a nose keen enough to catch the scent of food from a distant cell. Yet his dull wits make him trivially easy to deceive, as Mizuki proved when he tricked the pair into helping him escape only to see them dragged back to jail by a hungry threat from Tsunade.

Raijin is a hulking convict locked away in a Konoha correctional facility, where he forms one half of the pair mockingly nicknamed the Legendary Stupid Brothers with his elder brother Fujin. His enormous strength is devoted almost entirely to securing his next meal.
Tsunade disproved rumors that Fujin and Raijin's strength rivaled her own by flicking each brother in the forehead and launching them several feet backward. Ultimately, it was Tsunade's threat to withhold their supper that brought both brothers running back to their cells after Mizuki tricked them into helping him escape.
Raijin's thoughts circle back almost entirely to eating, a weakness the prison staff exploit by rationing meals to keep him and his brother docile. He is slow of mind and leans on Fujin whenever something confuses him, though he can turn murderously angry if a meal is ruined.
Raijin possesses freakish strength and stamina that grow as his anger rises, letting him leap great distances and shatter iron doors with ease. No single cell can hold him, and even the combined restraints of Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji failed to keep him pinned, though his dull wits make him easy to deceive.
Raijin's brother is Fujin, and together the two are mockingly nicknamed the Legendary Stupid Brothers. Despite their dimwitted reputation, the brothers share a deep affection for each other.
