Ponta (ポン太) is a raccoon and the companion of the master enka music ninja, Sabu. Ponta is apparently more observant than Sabu, as he was the first to detect Kisame Hoshigaki's presence. He attacks Kisame, but is quickly defeated. Kater in the battle, Ponta is caught in Kisame's Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave technique. Killer Bee lured Kisame, who was fused with Samehada, away from Ponta and Sabu, and they were freed from the moving dome.
Trivia
Unused concept artwork of Kintarō and Pochi, who would later become Ponta.
- Ponta was salvaged from an unused concept of a bear-like pet raccoon named Pochi (ポチ). Pochi, together with a character called Kintarō (金太郎), was originally planned to appear instead of Haku and Zabuza Momochi. Instead of Zabuza's Decapitating Carving Knife, Kintarō wielded a giant axe that was also salvaged for Ponta's partner, Sabu.
- Ponta is written as ポン太. This name is a stereotypical name to give to pet tanuki, who are visually very similar to raccoons, a bit like Fido is for a dog or Mittens for a cat. It is also the name Saburō Kitajima used when he was part of the comical duo Gerupin Ponta Chinta (ゲルピンぽん太ちん太, literally meaning: Ponta and Chinta in need for Money).
