Rōshi

was the jinchūriki of the Four-Tailed Monkey. He hailed from Iwagakure.

Background
Rōshi became the jinchūriki of the Four-Tails at a very young age. He left his hometown of Iwagakure at some point to better understand and control the power of the beast within him.

Appearance
Rōshi was shown wearing a large headpiece consisting of a three pointed crown-like ridge, bearing both his Iwagakure forehead protector and ring, and a prominent black piece of armor running across his cheeks and the bridge of his nose.

Despite his advanced age, his hair was solid red. His hair and beard style were exactly the same as that of the Four-Tails inside him.

Abilities
By borrowing the Four-Tails' power, Rōshi was able to use its Lava Release ninjutsu, a combination of Fire and Earth-based chakra. He was also shown with a unique, curved kunai.

Hunt for Itachi arc
After an unseen and difficult battle with Kisame Hoshigaki of Akatsuki, Rōshi was somehow defeated and captured by Kisame. He later died as the result of having the Four-Tails extracted from his body.

Trivia

 * means "old age" or "elderly". means "purple". It is possible Rōshi was named after the Dragon Ball character master Rōshi, considering that the Four-Tails' design was also inspired by Dragon Ball.
 * In order to prevent the jinchūriki from turning traitor, it is tradition for the host to be selected from the family of the village's own Kage. It might be implied that Rōshi somehow was connected with one of the Tsuchikage or if he was also related to his fellow Iwakagure jinchuuriki, Han.
