Gaku is another one of Naota&#039;s classmates and close friends. In episode three, Marquis de Carabas, he plays the part of a mouse in the school play. Gaku also uses the word &quot;chu&quot; constantly, especially when referring to Haruko. This is a pun in Japanese, because &quot;chu&quot; is the Japanese onomatopoeia for both kissing and the sound a mouse makes. In the English version, &quot;chu&quot; is replaced with &quot;smooch&quot; to make more sense to English speaking audiences. He&#039;s somewhat hyper (compared to the bored composure of his friends) and is usually seen with Masashi. He is an encyclopedia of bizarre rumors and legends, many of which are sexual in nature

Sosuke&#039;s Arm Slave loving classmate. He shares the same amount of passion to AS as Sousuke and could be considered Sousuke&#039;s best school friend besides Kaname. His father is Shintaro Kazama and a secretary of Narashino&#039;s Assault Machine Troop. Shinji&#039;s love for AS began when his dad failed to become an AS pilot. As a result of his father&#039;s failure, Shinji strives to discover the result of the failure and to fulfill his father&#039;s dream of becoming a pilot. There is no indication as to what happened to his mother, but it&#039;s assumed that Shintaro is a widower before the series started.

An elementary school student and practitioner of Shorinji Kempo. He was chosen by Dendoh to be one of its pilots during a Garufa attack on the Earth. Short-tempered and impulsive, he is very much the opposite of his fellow pilot Hokuto Kusanagi, who tends to be level-headed and incisive. As a result they sometimes butt heads, but in the end their strengths cover the other&#039;s weaknesses. Ginga uses his martial arts knowledge to great effect when controlling Dendoh, taking the lead in close-quarters fights.

Okita is the best swordsman in the Shinsengumi. Personality-wise, he tends to be light-hearted and somewhat childish though his speech is heavily deadpan.   He outwardly displays annoyance and dislike for Hijikata, and continuously tries to kill (or at least badly wound) Hijikata whenever he has the chance so that he can become the Vice-Commander.  

Okita has great affection and fondness for Kondo, who took him under his wings when he was little. He still regards Hijikata as one of his three friends (the other two being Kondo and Gintoki). He enjoys seeing women fight, finding the ugly looks on their faces as they grab each other being hilarious. He wears a distinctive eye mask when taking a nap during duty, which is a frequent occurrence. At one point, he refers to himself as the best sniper in the Shinsengumi. Although he is a master of kenjutsu, he uses a bazooka more often.  He also regards Kagura as a rival after an unfinished rock-paper-scissors duel during a sakura-blossom party. He states that he'll "be the only one to defeat her", and usually calls her "China".

__Background:__ Not much is known about his childhood, only that one day he went berserk and wrecked the Temple of Fire, a place otherwise believed to be an indestructible fortress. Afterward, he was loathed by some of the monks of the temple, and soon began receiving the same treatment as a Jinchūriki. He wanted to become part of the Twelve Guardian Ninja. He hates himself because of his powers and gets angry when people stare at him. When they first meet he hates Naruto but then they become friends. Sora does not like getting help from people, especially ninja. He did not even want Team Yamato to come. 

__Part II Fire Temple Filler Arc:__ This arc begins due to a misunderstanding, Naruto Uzumaki fights one of the monks-in-training from the Fire Temple, Sora, who also uses wind chakra based techniques. After the confusion, the monks and Team Kakashi travel to the Fire Temple. The temple monks explain that the tombs hold the loyal bodyguards of Fire Country's feudal lord. Naruto observes Sora sparring with other monks and becomes offended upon realizing he is holding back. Naruto challenges Sora, but just as the matter is about to get serious, another monk stops him. Naruto realizes Sora is despised by the other monks as he was himself and wishes to befriend him. Naruto visits Sora again and observes him practicing his wind jutsu in earnest, hoping to get strong enough to avenge his father. They later return to the temple to receive news that another tomb has been robbed. They are later ambushed by a group of enemy shinobi and Sora, unwilling to look for Naruto, goes off on his own. Sora then hits upon the enemy leader, Furido, and it is revealed that he is the group's target. Sora then starts to question Furido, but he does not answer. Instead, he just sits down and roasts some potatoes. Sora gets angry and his chakra starts to get more powerful. Furido taunts Sora until Sora unleashes his true powers, before informing him that he is planning to use the four corpses to save the Land of Fire. After an explosion, Sora wakes up only to find out that Furido had vanished, only leaving him a clue that he knows his father and that Sora resembles him. Sora then is assigned to go to Konohagakure with Team Yamato to replace Sai because of Sai's injuries. 

Naruto tries to show Sora around Konoha but Sora goes his own way. Sora's insults precipitate a brawl with Kiba Inuzuka and Choji Akimichi, and Naruto and Rock Lee soon join in. Later Asuma Sarutobi tells Sora he knew Sora's father, who is revealed as one of the Guardians involved in the coup attempt. He also shows Sora his chakra blade attack and then volunteers to help train Sora and Naruto. Asuma supervises Naruto and Sora's wind chakra training and notices that Sora, like Naruto, has very powerful chakra. Later, Asuma gives Sora a claw made from the same materials as his chakra blades. It is revealed that Asuma killed Sora's father Kazuma, who had planned to kill the Hokage. Furido then approaches Sora, telling him that Asuma is responsible for his father's death and passing him two &quot;king&quot; pieces from a Shogi set for Asuma. Shocked by this discovery he goes back to training distressed. Then Naruto approaches a furious Sora in the training grounds, who easily throws a chakra-powered kunai through a tree and destroys the stone behind it. 

Later on, Sora tries to look for Asuma and follows him to Danzo's interrogation. There he found out that Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane dislike Sora and don't welcome him in the village and plan to kill him. Before Tsunade can make her decision on what to do with Sora, he is caught by ANBU members hiding in the ceiling. Enraged, he yells at Tsunade asking her why would she kill him. Are his powers really that hated? He then goes on by saying that they are just like the fire temple monks. He looks at Yamato asking him, &quot;are these what you call comrades?&quot; He then changes his view towards Asuma and confronts him, accusing him of killing his father, which Asuma confirms. Sora attacks Asuma, his arm once again assuming a demonic form. While he blows Asuma outside, he is unable to maintain it for long and falters. He is attacked by an unknown individual (presumed to be a Root shinobi), but Naruto shields him from the shuriken, being injured in the process. Sora then approaches Furido, who says that he must kill Asuma and Tsunade to avenge his father and consolidate the &quot;two kings&quot; (the Feudal Lord and the Hokage) into a single leader by eliminating the Hokage. 

Later that night, Naruto catches Sora going after Tsunade. Sora retreats as Shizune and a few other ninjas arrive, and Naruto pursues him. At that moment, a mysterious lightning storm strikes, cutting off power to the entire village. Meanwhile, Naruto chases Sora for attempting to kill Tsunade. Asuma, commanded by Tsunade to follow Sora and Naruto, finally catches up to them. Asuma realizes that the four invaders plan to annihilate the entire village using the lightning powers of the corpses that they stole. The revelation shocks Sora. As Asuma leaves to help hold off the attackers, he instructs Naruto to continue to pursue Sora. Later on, Furido tells Sora that when The Nine-Tailed Fox rampaged around Konoha, The Fourth Hokage sealed the beast within Naruto Uzumaki and the nine tails chakra that had slipped out when it rampaged was sealed it into Sora by Kazuma and the fire temple. He, Furido, then proceeds to use the Five Elements Unseal to release all of the demon fox's power. Sora grows a demon fox cloak similar to Naruto's, except that he has three spikes on each side of his face.     Like Naruto, he grows tails which increase in number the longer he keeps himself in the demon fox cloak state. If nine tails grow, he will turn into a real demon fox. Later, as Asuma and Naruto arrive, it is revealed that Furido is actually Kazuma, Sora's father. A confrontation between Naruto and Sora later occurs, concluding with Sora losing control of his demon fox chakra. According to Captain Yamato, Sora's body did not have the proper capacity nor natural chakra reserves to contain the demon fox's chakra unlike Naruto, thus concluding this filler arc with Sora losing all of the demon fox's influence including the demon fox's chakra as well as Sora's pseudo-jinjuriki arm. 

__Abilities:__ Sora is a wind-natured chakra user like Naruto. He is able to manipulate wind into chakra infused wind blades of energy capable of cutting through most material including rock. He wields a tri-bladed death claw that he learns to infuse with chakra after learning the jutsu from Asuma. Asuma gives him a new blade after his old one is destroyed in a fight with Naruto. Sora also uses Taijutsu known only to the monks of the Fire Temple. Sora's father Kazuma spliced his cellular make-up with the excess chakra of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox to create a Pseudo-Jinchūriki. Sora is capable, though unwillingly it seems, to transform into a miniature demon fox much like Naruto. In this form, he has all the power and resistance to injury and attack of an unsealed demon fox.

Watchdog Man (番犬マン Banken-man) is a S-Class Rank 12 professional hero who is in charge of Q-City. Watchdog Man has been shown to be very blunt and nonchalant. He acts like a dog at all times, speaking sparingly, sitting on his haunches while alert or loitering, and curling up in a dog bed while asleep.

Loke (ロキ Roki) is a member of the Fairy Tail guild. He is very flirtatious with attractive women, being top ranked "Mage you want to have as your boyfriend". He attempts to flirt with Lucy but after finding out that she's a Stellar Spirit mage, he quickly stops his advances. Mirajane said that something must have happened to him with a similar female Stellar Spirit mage. She also mentioned that Loke once tried to flirt with Erza, but nearly got himself killed because of it. His weapon is a magical ring and is skilled in "hand-to-hand" combat.  He seems to have an interest in Lucy, despite his fear and is the one who searched for Lucy's lost keys and subsequently saves Lucy from bandits.   ~!After his sudden departure from Fairy Tail, Lucy discovers that Loki is a Stellar Spirit, Leo the Lion. His master was the famous Karen Lilica, who was a member of Blue Pegasus. Since her death three years ago, he has remained in the human world, unable to return to the Spirit World because he was exiled for killing his own summoner. He reveals that prolonged stay by a Stellar Spirit in the human world leads to imminent death.  Although he says he killed Karen he did not kill her himself. Karen was abusive, vain, and arrogant towards her other Zodiac Stellar Spirit, the timid and kind Aries. One day she was about to punish Aries by forcing her to remain in the Real World for seven straight days, something that would probably kill her. Sick of Karen's apparently frequent tantrums, Loke summoned himself in Aries' place and refused to go back to the Spirit World until Karen broke both their pacts and left her house. However Karen died on a mission before she could release them. This was due to the fact that she couldn't summon any other spirits while he was already summoned and thus he blamed himself for her death.  However, although Loke had given up hope and was more than willing to die, Lucy managed to convince the Stellar Spirit King to revoke his exile. Loke is now one of Lucy's Stellar Spirits. He promised to be Lucy's backbone, and returned to the spirit world to recover. With him, Lucy now has half the Gold keys.  After recovering, Loke is seen flirting with Lucy and being nice and friendly to everybody. He declared that he has abandoned his old ways, flirting with only Lucy now. He has also self-proclaimed himself to be Lucy's knight in shiny armor.  Before Lucy got annoyed and sent him back to spirit world, he give Lucy's team tickets to a fancy hotel he had planned to take his girlfriends to. Since he can no longer stay long in the real world, he wants Lucy's team to go because he wants to thank them for all the help they've given him.!~  (Source: Wikipedia)
