creator of Love Love Paradise (also known as Come Come paradise), the book that Kakashi is always reading.

The technique Jiraiya uses the most is his Summoning no Jutsu. This technique can summon a Toad of any size. One of the toads that he summons is called Gamabunta the Frog Boss. Two other smaller frogs he can summon are Gamabunta's children, Gamakichi and Gamakichi's younger brother Gamatatsu.

Jiraiya is known to everyone as one of the legendary ninjas of the leaf country. Jiraiya-sama is also the one who taught the Fourth Hokage most of his techniques. One of the techniques that he learns from the Fourth Hokage is the Rasengan, which he teaches to Naruto.

The symbol on his forehead protector means oil (as can be seen at Kanji Land).

Note: Sennin means "hermit", while "Sannin" is a ninja rank.
