Character from Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto
The One-Tailed tanuki, a sand-manipulating tailed beast formerly sealed within Gaara. Prideful and cantankerous, with a grudge against Kurama for perceived slights.
Loud, boastful, and constantly insisting he is just as powerful as any other tailed beast — especially Kurama. Enjoys chaos but is not truly malicious. His extraction from Gaara killed his host temporarily, a trauma that lingers in both of them. Grudgingly cooperative when the situation demands it.
Massive sandy-brown tanuki covered in blue curse markings. Single tail. Wide mouth with a crazed grin. Body composed of compacted sand.
Also known as: Shukaku, One-Tail, Ichibi
