Ebisu

When Ebisu became a genin, he was put on a team consisting of Might Guy and Genma Shiranui, under the leadership of Chōza Akimichi. During their Chūnin Exams, Ebisu and his team clashed with Team Minato in the Forest of Death where Guy quickly dispatched Obito Uchiha. When Kakashi Hatake is promoted to jōnin some time later, Rin Nohara gathers up the graduating class to plan a top-secret celebration which Ebisu took part in. At one point, he and his team were confronted by a generation of Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist only to be saved by Might Duy.

Ebisu is portrayed as a stern and "by-the-book" type of person. Initially, he expressed hatred for Naruto Uzumaki, and believed he was nothing but a worthless nuisance and mocked his dream of becoming Hokage as he believes that only people of high lineage could amount to anything. Upon seeing what Naruto had done for Konohamaru his perspective changed drastically, and later the village during Pain's assault on it, he chose not to surrender Naruto's location and would rather be killed. He is also rather attached to his pupils, and has shown immense pride in them, such as when Konohamaru performed the Rasengan on Pain while rescuing Ebisu from the dangerous missing-nin. While being rather uptight, he has shown a true dedication to his village and students. Also, although he tries to be very professional, he has displayed some perverted traits, as shown from how he reacted to Naruto's pervert tactics. He has also been described by Naruto as being a "closet pervert". Ebisu has a tendency to look into female bath houses. When perturbed, Ebisu often pushes his sunglasses up his nose.

Ebisu has been portrayed as having dark hair and brown eyes and is never seen without his trademark sunglasses. Usually he is seen in the standard Konoha shinobi outfit, albeit without the flak jacket. He also wears his forehead protector like a bandanna. When deployed on missions, or if the situation calls for it he will don the flak jacket as part of his outfit. During his time in the Academy, Ebisu wore his hair swept to the sides of his face and wore a dark suit along with his signature glasses with a thin, brown shawl of sorts around his shoulders with the two ends tied. When he achieved the rank of chūnin, he discarded the shawl, donned the bandanna-like forehead protector as well as a flak jacket.

Ebisu is an elite trainer who has an extensive knowledge in basic to advanced forms of ninja skills. According to Kakashi, Ebisu is one of the most skilled trainers in Konoha, further emphasised by him being personally selected to train Konohamaru for the Academy, and was chosen by Kakashi to train Naruto for the Chūnin Exams. Ebisu is particularly skilled in the usage of hand seals. In the anime, Ebisu is able to perform the Shadow Clone Technique and Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet. He has also shown to be capable in taijutsu, as seen during his battle against the Naraka Path.
