Suiko

is a ninja from the Takumi Village. He wears chakra absorbing armor called Infinite Armor and carries a flail around.

Appearance
Suiko was by far the largest of his group. A broadly built man, he wore a black coat over which was his armour which was designed with a silver tiger-like head breastplate and a pair of dark blue pauldrons. His eyes have small black pupils and has wavy brown hair with a small beard.

Personality
Like many minor villains in Part I, Suiko is overconfident about the power his shield provides, and believes nothing can breach its; this leads to his death at the hands of Gaara who manages to tear through it. Like all members in his team, Suiko is single-minded about his goals, using any method to achieve it.

Ultimate Weapon Arc
He and his group abducted Matsuri, Gaara's student, to get access to Gaara's Shukaku powers to revive Seimei, Takumi Village's founder. He injured Rock Lee at his entering in their battle with Gaara. With his armour protecting him for the most part, Suiko and Gaara, another defensive expert essentially engaged in a stand-off as neither could harm the other until he was eventually impaled by the incomplete Spear of Shukaku.

Trivia

 * His name, meaning "Water Tiger" comes from Byakko, the White Tiger of the West.
 * He is the only member of his team that does not have a sword, using a flail instead.
