Danjo

Danjo is the current daimyō of the Land of Earth.

Personality
Danjo is described as being sleazy and greedy, seeing as he was willing to invade the Land of Flowers and kill many innocent people due to his own frenzied huger for power. Despite regaining fertile territories the Land of Fire conquered long ago, Danjo was unwilling to stop the invasion of the Land of Flowers because his troops had already assembled, and thus he would lose a lot of money. Furthermore, he is easily frightened by intimidating movements, as shown by his reactions to the angry gestures from the Lightning Daimyō Tekkan. Despite his fear, however, Danjo is depicted as being stubborn enough to not give into the pressures of the Hokage and the daimyō of other lands.

Also, Danjo strongly believes that daimyō have no obligation to compromise with or mimic the Kage in any shape or form, finding it acceptable to fight and form alliances on a whim. In order to reach his ambitions, he is willing to use the bloody nature of being a shinobi as an excuse for the violence.

Appearance
Danjo is repeatedly described as being extremely heavy, with fat hanging from his jaw and covering the rest of his body.
