Ebisu

specializes in the private training of elite ninja, as stated by Kakashi Hatake. The name "Ebisu" comes from the Japanese god Ebisu, who is usually pictured as a fisherman that brings wealth and prosperity to believers, and watches over the health of young children.

Konohamaru arc
He is first introduced as Konohamaru's tutor, and dislikes the fact that Konohamaru idolizes Naruto Uzumaki, because he only sees Naruto as the container of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. His opinion of Naruto doesn't change when Naruto "defeats" him with the Harem Technique after the Sexy Technique fails. Naruto often refers to him as the "super/closet pervert" because of this.

Chunin Exams
Later, recommended by Kakashi Hatake as a great teacher, Ebisu begins Naruto's one-month training for the main matches of the Chunin Exam. It is during this time that through being with Naruto and seeing the influence he had on Konohamaru that Ebisu realizes that Naruto is not just the container of a demon, but that he is an outstanding Konoha ninja. However, Ebisu does not complete Naruto's training, because Jiraiya takes over by summoning a large toad which tongue-whips Ebisu unconscious when Ebisu tries to interrupt Jiraiya's peeking on a women's bath. Naruto then insists that Jiraiya take Ebisu's place.

Rescue Gaara arc
In Part II, he has been put in charge of a Genin team with Konohamaru and his two friends, Udon and Moegi, as its members. He now wears the standard flack jacket instead of his more casual outfit from the first part of the series. He is introduced when the team have just finished their mission and is receiving payment. There he tries to stop Konohamaru in complaining about the low rank of their missions and tries to apologize to Tsunade for his student's behavior.
