Gaara:
One-tail
The Hidden Sand Village
Gaara's concept is a tanuki. I thought that it would make a good rival for Naruto's fox. I liked the concave chin and jagged teeth on the One-tail's mouth.
Nii Yugito:
Two-tails
The Hidden Cloud Village
I got the image of the Two-tails from the idea that having a two-tailed cat elongates your lifespan. Yugito was a high-ranking female shinobi that even Killer Bee looked up to.
Yagura:
Three-tails
The Hidden Mist Village
Because I had previously shown mainly jinchuuriki like Naruto and Gaara, I decided to show a huge bijuu instead. The image is that of a turtle.
Roushi:
Four-tails
The Hidden Rock Village
The concept for this bijuu was a gorilla... and also Son Goku's monkey from Dragonball. While the horns wrapping around the forehead are supposed to be like the Chinese Son Goku's halo(?). I just combined all of that together. It shoots lava from its mouth.
Han:
Five-tails
The Hidden Rock Village
I just had this idea to combine a dolphin with a horse, I don't really understand it myself. Han wears steam-powered armor and is a ninja that uses steam. He's a steam jinchuuriki.
Utakata:
Six-tails
The Hidden Mist Village
The Six-tails has a wet and drippy feel to it, but it doesn't shoot out lightning. (lol)<-these are Kishimoto's lols, not mine. Utakata uses soap ball (bubbles!) ninjutsu and looks like he'd fit in at a wake.
Fuu:
Seven-tails
The Hidden Waterfall Village
The concept of the Seven-tails was that of a bug. It has the feel of an armored bug. It's tails are wings! The jinchuuriki is a girl... for right now. I hadn't really decided on it. (lol)
Killer Bee:
Eight-tails
The Hidden Cloud Village
The Eight-tails is a combination of an octopus and a bull. I'm pleased with how deliciously the tentacles turned out. Killer Bee rhymes and steps to the beat. He's freakin' strong.
Uzumaki Naruto:
Nine-tails
The Hidden Leaf Village
The concept is a fox. It's the strongest of the bijuu, in fact, it's so strong that I, the author, have to wonder about the best way to show it off each time. (lol)
