Personality

Yoroi was a brash and strong willed ninja who usually felt confident about fighting his opponents and would toy with his opponent frequently. He possessed a very arrogant side and loved to boast about his own abilities. Often times however his toying with opponents led to him losing his struggles rather than emerging with victory. He was also described as being greatly self-confident and unsociable.[1]

He also wore what appears to be the standard attire of his team consisting of a high-collared, sleeveless, navy-blue shirt with a short-sleeved, white one underneath, a simple obi around his waist, pants, sandals and fingerless gloves. After defecting from Konohagakure, he wore a simple shirt with the sleeves rolled up, pants and sandals. It was also revealed that he had black shoulder-length hair.

Yoroi most notable ability was his capacity to absorb the physical and spiritual energy of an opponent by simply coming into physical contact with them. Yoroi was quite proficient with this technique, as he was able able to drain Sasuke's chakra even by just slightly grazing his hair. This extra chakra could also be used by himself to perform chakra-taxing techniques.

In the anime, he shows a greater assortment of techniques such as the Demonic Illusion: Descending Hell Technique, which creates an illusionary ball of fire in the sky to frighten his opponents. He shows proficiency in water-based techniques, using both Water Clone Technique and Water Release: Great Waterfall Flow against Shino.

Trivia

  • Akadō literally means red body, whereas yoroi () literally means armour. Yoroi's name may be based on the Sengoku period practice of wearing bright-red armour to instil fear upon the enemy. This tactic, called akazonae (赤備え, literally meaning: to be armed with red), was most famously used by Ii Naomasa, one of the Tokugawa Shitennō, the four most trusted generals of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shōgun of the Tokugawa Shogunate. This tactic proved so succesful for Naomasa and his forces, that he soon earned the nickname The Red Devil of the Ii (井伊の赤鬼, Ii no Akaoni).
  • Yoroi is the name for a samurai's armour. With his former team-mates, Kabuto ("helmet") and Tsurugi ("sword"), they form an armour—helmet—sword trio.
  • According to the databook(s):
    • His favourite food is unagi.
