Ebisu (エビス) is a tokubetsu jōnin from Konohagakure who specialises in the private training of elite ninja, as stated by Kakashi Hatake. He is also the leader of Team Ebisu, which consists of Konohamaru Sarutobi, Udon, and Moegi.

Background

Obito's year group

Ebisu at his entrance ceremony.

In his youth, Ebisu was put on a team consisting of Might Guy and Genma Shiranui. At one point, they were confronted by a generation of Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist only to be saved by Might Duy. During their Chūnin Exams, Ebisu and his team clashed with Team Minato in the Forest of Death where Guy quickly dispatched Obito Uchiha. When Kakashi Hatake is promoted to jōnin some time later, Rin Nohara gathers up the graduating class to plan a top-secret celebration which Ebisu took part in.[4]

Personality

Haremtechnique

Ebisu's perverted nature exploited by Naruto.

Ebisu is portrayed as a stern and "by-the-book" type of person.[5] Initially, he expressed hatred for Naruto Uzumaki,[6] and believed he was nothing but a worthless nuisance and mocked his dream of becoming Hokage as he believes that only people of high lineage could amount to anything. Upon seeing what Naruto had done for Konohamaru,[7] and later the village during Pain's assault on it, his perspective changed drastically.[8]

While being rather uptight, he has shown a true dedication to his village and students.[8][9] Also, although he tries to be very professional, he has displayed some perverted traits, as shown from how he reacted to Naruto's pervert tactics.[10] He has also been described by Naruto as a "closet pervert".[11] Ebisu has a tendency to look into female bath houses.[12] When perturbed, Ebisu often pushes his sunglasses up his nose.

Appearance

Ebisu has been portrayed as having dark hair and brown eyes and is never seen without his trademark sunglasses. Usually he is seen in the standard Konoha shinobi outfit, albeit without the flak jacket. He also wears his forehead protector like a bandanna. When deployed on missions, or if the situation calls for it he will don the flak jacket as part of his outfit.

During his time in the Academy, Ebisu wore his hair swept to the sides of his face and wore a dark suit along with his signature glasses with a thin, brown shawl of sorts around his shoulders with the two ends tied. When he achieved the rank of chūnin, he discarded the shawl, donned the bandanna-like forehead protector as well as a flak jacket.[4][13]

Abilities

Ebisu is an elite trainer who has an extensive knowledge in basic to advanced forms of ninja skills. According to Kakashi, Ebisu is one of the most skilled trainers in Konoha,[14] further emphasised from the fact that he was personally selected to train Konohamaru for the Academy, and was chosen by Kakashi to train Naruto for the Chūnin Exams.[14] While he has not been shown using any ninjutsu per se, as well as not being seen much at all in battle in the manga, the anime has him demonstrate proficient skill in high-level ninjutsu like the Shadow Clone Technique.[15] Ebisu was also shown to be proficient in taijutsu, able to go up against the Naraka Path. The anime also shows him to be skilled in Fire Release nature transformation as seen during the Konoha Crush by revolutionaries when he used the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique to repel several invading ninja.[16]

Part I

Prologue — Land of Waves

Later, after being recommended by Kakashi Hatake as a great teacher, Ebisu began Naruto's one-month training for the main matches of the Chūnin Exams. Initially starting out by instructing the young man on his poor use of chakra, by being with Naruto and seeing the positive influence he had on Konohamaru, Ebisu realised that Naruto was not just the container of a demon, but that he was an outstanding Konoha ninja. However, Ebisu did not complete Naruto's training, as Jiraiya took over by summoning a toad to knock Ebisu unconscious after Ebisu tried to interrupt Jiraiya peeking in on the women's bath. Naruto then insisted that Jiraiya take Ebisu's place and complete his training. As Ebisu recognised Jiraiya before he was knocked out, once he woke up he had a brief conversation with him before leaving.

He now wears the standard flak jacket instead of his more casual outfit from Part I. He was introduced when the team had just finished their mission and were receiving payment. There he tried to stop Konohamaru complaining about the low rank of their missions, and tried to apologise to Tsunade for his student's behaviour.

File:Ebisu-Jigokudo.png

Ebisu clashes with the Naraka Path.

When Konohamaru nearly attracted the attention of the Naraka Path during Pain's assault on Konoha, Ebisu drew the Path's attention to himself so that his student would have a chance to escape. The Path asked him for Naruto Uzumaki's location, but Ebisu, having come to think highly of Naruto, refused at the risk of his life and confronted the Path. Before he could be killed however, Konohamaru arrived to save him, using the Rasengan to attack the Path, much to Ebisu's surprise. Ebisu, alongside the other villagers, though somewhat injured and supported by Konohamaru, celebrated Naruto's victory over Pain.

Fourth Shinobi World War: Confrontation

Ebisu in Charge

Ebisu gathers several of the Konoha villagers.

In the anime, while the Fourth Shinobi World War is ensuing, Ebisu gathers the villagers discerning the probability of an attack on the village.

When his team approach him about sightings of giants, missing-nin and a tailed beast (which the two are actually a circus troupe), Ebisu tells them to inform the mothers as they can take care of it.
