Gamahiro

Character

Gamahiro, sometimes shortened to Hiro, ranks among the towering war toads of Mount Myōboku. A twin-sword specialist, he answers the call of summoners like Jiraiya and Naruto, crashing down onto enemies and cutting through the giant summons of Orochimaru and Pain.

Appearance

Twin katana ride across his back, and an orange sash circles his midsection, the two details that most set him apart. His hide runs a cool aquamarine, his eyes are yellow and ringed in grey, and a round mark sits on each shoulder. Like Gamabunta, his exact scale shifts from scene to scene, though he generally looms above the rooftops and treetops around him. The Part I anime once rendered him in brown instead.

Abilities

Those two blades are his trade. Gamahiro handles them with enough skill to cut down opponents in short order, and he backs the swordwork with solid close-quarters taijutsu.

History

He first turns the tide during the Konoha Crush, when Jiraiya returns to the village and drops him straight onto one of Orochimaru's serpents, his landing weight alone crushing the snake. The anime also has Jiraiya summon him to help Sasame, Sakura, and Naruto flee a collapsing hideout. When Pain assaults Konoha, Gamahiro fights beside Gamaken and Gamabunta at Fukasaku's direction: he batters the Animal Path's ox and finishes it with two clean sword strikes, then holds off the multiplying dog until Naruto downs the Animal Path. The trio later charges the Deva and Preta Paths, only to be hurled past the village boundary by Shinra Tensei, after which he ends up sprawled at the bottom of a lake. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Naruto summons him again to smash a mutated White Zetsu clone before leaving him to keep watch.
