Changes: Hiruko (shinobi)

Latest revision as of 04:04, 3 August 2023

This article is about the shinobi. For other uses, see Hiruko (disambiguation).

Hiruko (ヒルコ, Hiruko) was once a great shinobi, but upon his death, he became Sasori's favourite human puppet.^[1]

He was said to have been a great shinobi while alive. He was powerful enough that Sasori chose to make a human puppet out of him.

"Hiruko" (蛭子) can be translated to "leech child".
Hiruko is a Japanese fisherman god. It can also be translated into "Ebisu".
In the manga, Hiruko wasn't identified as a human puppet, leaving it unclear whether it was a regular puppet or a human one.^[2]
His height given through a settei, is him when he's on all fours.
