Gameru

Character

Gameru is a carefree ninja who wields Dakō, one of Iō's prototype ninja tools. Confident and hungry for stronger weapons, he and his partner Kusune clashed with Naruto and Neji before Tenten's own borrowed tool put them down.

Personality

An easygoing streak runs through Gameru, along with a habit of sizing opponents up by looks alone. Even so, he read Naruto and Neji correctly as dangerous at close range and knew to keep his distance. He is sure of himself and keen to get his hands on powerful weapons, and he holds Konoha in low regard, claiming the country grew so weak after Orochimaru's attack that he and Kusune crossed its border unopposed.

History

Little is documented about his combat beyond his handling of Dakō, though he showed enough close-range skill to trade blows with Naruto and Neji, both accomplished at that range, and he could store his weapon with the Enclosing Technique. Traveling with Kusune, he came to Iō seeking ninja tools, but the craftsman refused to arm outsiders. The pair then fought Naruto and Neji, who had no answer for Iō's tools, and the fight ended when Iō lent Tenten his newest creation, Jidanda, with which she beat them handily.
