Bekkō
CharacterBekkō is a Konohagakure chūnin drawn into the manhunt for Naruto after the young ninja steals the Scroll of Seals. He plainly resents Naruto, yet the anime rounds him out as an attentive teacher looking after the Academy's students.
Appearance
A broad, fairly flat nose is Bekkō's most striking feature, framed by spiky brown hair and dark eyes. His outfit is the usual Konoha shinobi kit, forehead protector and flak jacket included, with bandages wound around both wrists.
Personality
Bekkō carries a pointed dislike of Naruto Uzumaki, evident in how readily he backs the idea of capturing and punishing the boy for making off with the Scroll of Seals. The anime paints a gentler picture as well, casting him as an instructor who cares about his pupils and steps in fast to pull apart a brawl.
History
When Naruto lifted the Scroll of Seals out of the Hokage Residence during the Land of Waves prologue, Bekkō joined the throng of ninja mustered to run the boy down. The anime slots him into an earlier scene at the Academy, where he stands beside Iwana Akame and Daikoku Funeno as bullies set upon a young Itachi Uchiha.
