Gamatatsu is the youngest son of Gamabunta and Gamakichi's little brother, one of the toads of Mount Myōboku. Sweet-natured, perpetually hungry, and often oblivious to danger, he pairs with Naruto for collaboration techniques once he finally learns to control water chakra.
Yellow dominates his coloring, trimmed with orange around the eyes and mouth, and two lines curl inward across his belly. He starts small enough in Part I to ride on Naruto's head, then grows in Part II until Naruto stands atop him and he can swallow a grown adult whole. Like his brother, he wears a blue vest.
Snacks rule Gamatatsu's thoughts, sometimes ahead of anyone's safety; his very first lines wonder aloud whether they must wait for a wounded Naruto to expire before he gets fed. The anime softens that, showing he does care for Naruto. Childlike and naive, he leans on his big brother Gamakichi whenever a situation confuses him, yet his idle curiosity now and then cracks a puzzle open. He calls Gamabunta daddy, which the huge toad lets slide, and he seems almost blind to peril, gawking at his father while Manda loomed nearby until Gamakichi told him to flee.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

Naruto built the transformation jutsu himself, and the Hidden Leaf has been quietly not talking about it ever since. The story behind our 90s R&B record about the Naruko question everybody dodges....
In the manga he appears only once, summoned by accident during the search for Tsunade when Naruto reaches for Gamabunta and gets him instead. The anime gives him far more room. He surfaces on missions in the Land of Birds and the Land of the Sea, then features heavily in the Three-Tails campaign, where Gamakichi coaches him through the basics of Water Release. After many failed tries he manages a strong water blast, and by combining it with Naruto's wind chakra he unleashes the Wind Release: Toad Gun, powerful enough to shatter Guren's crystal labyrinth and free Hinata. He also spits oil for the Toad Oil Bullet and, alongside his brother, the flame version of it. Later still, Naruto summons him to fetch Shima's cooking so he and Guy can shake off a poisoning, by which point Gamatatsu has grown well past Naruto in size.
Gamatatsu is the youngest son of Gamabunta and the little brother of Gamakichi, one of the toads of Mount Myoboku. Sweet natured, perpetually hungry, and often oblivious to danger, he becomes a collaboration partner for Naruto Uzumaki once he learns to control water chakra.
Gamatatsu is not one of Jiraiya's toads. He is Naruto Uzumaki's personal summon and the son of Gamabunta, first summoned by accident when Naruto meant to call Gamabunta during the search for Tsunade.
Gamatatsu grows dramatically stronger across the series. In Part I he's small enough to sit on Naruto's head, but by the Three-Tails arc he masters a powerful water blast that combines with Naruto's wind chakra into the Wind Release: Toad Gun, and by the war era he has grown so large he can swallow a grown adult whole.
Gamatatsu is sweet natured but food-obsessed, sometimes prioritizing snacks over safety; his very first line wonders if he must wait for an injured Naruto to die before getting fed. He's childlike and naive, leans on his older brother Gamakichi when confused, and affectionately calls Gamabunta daddy.
During the Three-Tails campaign, Gamakichi trains Gamatatsu in the basics of Water Release until he can unleash a strong water blast. Combined with Naruto's wind chakra it becomes the Wind Release: Toad Gun, and Gamatatsu also spits oil for the Toad Oil Bullet and, together with his brother, its flame variant.
