Nangō

is a ninja who was helping Akaboshi to collect the Tsuchigumo clan's kinjutsu.

Personality
Nangō is a man of few words, giving him the façade of a large, dim brute. However, when he does speak, in however few words he may, he has been shown to be a very keen observer.

Six-Tailed Beast arc
Akaboshi, Nangō, Chūshin, and Benten make for Mount Katsunagi in search of the Tsuchigumo clan's kinjutsu. They manage to destroy the barrier around the mountain and make their way up. They could not find the jutsu anywhere and ran into Tonbee, whom the group defeated quickly. They discover that Hotaru has the jutsu and they begin searching for her.

Later, Nangō and his comrades are seen receiving new orders from an mysterious man. After meeting with their leader, the four-man team encountered Utakata, who single-handedly bested the group until they caught him in their Destructive Barrier Formation technique.
