Gama Family

Gama

Name: Gama, ガマ
Affiliation: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf)

Mid level toad that Jiraiya uses to defeat Ebisu (because he annoyed him) at hot springs.


Gamabunta



Name: Gamabunta, ガマブン太
Affiliation: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf )
Signature Ability: Suiton: Teppōdama (Water Release: Gunshot), Gama Dosuzan (Toad Sword Beheading), Konbi Henge (Combination Transformation) (with Uzumaki Naruto), Katon: Gamayu Endan (Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet) (With Jiraiya)

Gama Bunta, or literally "Frog Boss", is the chief of the toads that are summoned. He is huge, about 50-100 meters high and is summoned for battles with the biggest of enemies. Uzumaki Naruto can summon him with his Kyūbi chakra (whereas with his own, he is only capable of summoning up tadpoles or some of Gamabunta's small children). Naruto first summoned him in the month long training session with Jiraiya when Jiraiya pushed him over a cliff in order to induce life-threatening fear in Naruto so that the Kyūbi chakra could come out.

Gamabunta is a grumpy and highly apathetic character. He uses some Japanese words that only a yakuza gangster would use. Still, he is portrayed as an ultimately powerful and positive force.

During first summoning, Naruto demanded to become Gamabunta's subordinate if he could ride the toad until sundown. Naruto showed his great resilient spirit and almost made it. Regardless, Gamabunta accepted him as a subordinate.

In the next summoning, Naruto is almost killed by Gaara's Sabaku Kyū (The Coffin of Crushing Sand) attack when he performs the Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique). Gaara is in his full form of Shukaku (although he has not gone to sleep yet). Gamabunta is his usual grumpy self, and shares a dialog with Naruto about the fact that he promised to have a subordinate/mentor relationship with him but only after sharing sake ceremony (which of course is 8 years away because Naruto isn't old enough to drink yet, and wouldn't be of any good use to Naruto here and now in the current battle). At which point, Gamakichi tells his father that Gaara bullied him and that Naruto saved him. Gamabunta then tells Naruto he will show him all about "Jingi" which is another yakuza term describing a highly argumentative honor code (although it’s portrayed as a completely positive thing in this anime).

In the next summoning, while harmed by Tsunade's poison, Jiraiya, after summoning Gamakichi, finally collects his chakra focus and brings out Gamabunta for battle against Orochimaru's snake, Manda.


Gamakichi



Name: Gamakichi, ガマ吉
Affiliation: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf)

Gamakichi is the minuscule and cute child of Gamabunta about the size of Naruto's head. He is a weak creature summoned because Naruto could not focus his chakra during beginning battle with Gaara. Gamakichi always wants to play with Naruto for summoning him. However, he is intelligent enough (more so than Gamatatsu) to be aware of the situation around him that at one point, he helps persuade Gamabunta to help Naruto during the battle against Gaara. He was summoned again by Jiraiya while fighting Orochimaru because Tsunade intentionally poisoned Jiraiya with a chakra-disrupting potion


Gamatatsu



Name: Gamatatsu, ガマ竜
Affiliation: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf)

The weak, inexperienced brother of Gamakichi, and son of Gamabunta. Summoned for the first time by Naruto while fighting Orochimaru because he was unable to call on his Kyūbi chakra. Fixates on snacks after a comment made by Gamakichi that made him think he'd get one. His name literally translates as "Frog Dragon".
