Ginkaku

was one of Kumogakure's Gold and Silver Brothers.

Appearance
Ginkaku, like his brother, is relatively burly, albeit smaller than his sibling. He seemingly possesses long and light-colored hair with prominent dark tips, arranged in a style reminiscent of a Native American headdress. These features are accentuated by the presence of two distinctive horns on his head as well as a light colored rectangular marking on his nose. Unusually, he bears the same characteristic whisker-like marks on his face as Naruto Uzumaki, alluding to some unknown connection with the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

His typical attire is comprised from the standard Kumogakure flak jacket, worn over a high collared sleeveless uniform, and a pair of simple wrist-guards. The kanji for is tattooed on his right shoulder. He carries a large gourd around his neck attached to a thick rope.

Abilities
He and his brother were well known for their strength during their lifetime, so much so that one Kumogakure shinobi trembled in fear when he saw them and the Fourth Raikage considered disregarding his duties as leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces to personally confront the pair. The brothers both possess enormous chakra reserves with traces of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's chakra mixed in.

Shinobi World War Arc
After his resurrection by Kabuto Yakushi, Ginkaku and Kinkaku are part of an Akatsuki coalition sent to the western coast of the Land of Lightning, where they are met by the First Division. As the confrontation commences, he remarks about how pathetic it is that they of all people would be used for the technique created by the Second Hokage, considering that the brothers were the ones to originally killed him.

Trivia

In this story, Kinkaku and Ginkaku are two demon king brothers, known as the and the . The siblings possess five treasured tools; one of which, called the, had the ability to suck in their opponents, before melting them once they were trapped within. This item presumably served as the inspiration behind the distinctive gourd that Ginkaku is observed with in "Naruto".
