.

For tropes associated with the Eight-Tails, go to the Tailed-Beasts page. - ""Kikiude janakutemo, ki… kiku. Kiki da yo!" ("Even though it's not your good arm it… it works. I'm in trouble!")"
 * The Ace: Arguably, given that each of the chapters he appears in without fail has had him doing something awesome, funny, or both.
 * And is therefore one of the best examples of this trope done right, since he's a Fan-Favorite instead of a Scrappy despite being The Ace.
 * Adult Child: In the middle of a serious meeting on military matters, he's seen not paying any attention and scrawling down song lyrics -- looking absurdly similar to a bored high school kid scribbling and not paying attention to class.
 * All of the Other Reindeer: Averted. He's about as well-liked as they come..
 * Animal Battle Aura: Which is a Bull with Combat Tentacles of course.
 * Badass: And HOLY SHIT HOW. In fact, he's so badass,
 * Badass Beard
 * Bash Brothers: With A.
 * Beyond the Impossible: He uses seven blades, without his hands. He can transform into his biju without going nuts. As in, the full on eight tailed giant monster version and stay conscious.
 * Boisterous Bruiser
 * Bunny Ears Lawyer: A Cloudcuckoolander rapper who aspires to be an enka singer. He also happens to be one the strongest characters introduced in the series.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: If you have an extremely powerful demonic entity inside of you, and it is significantly more rational and sane than you are, you qualify for this trope.
 * Cool Shades
 * Cool Sword: Has seven!
 * Implausible Fencing Powers
 * Multi Wielding: He uses seven swords at once, and hold them in such places as in his armpits and between his legs, but not in his hands. He needs those to write down lyrics should he think of them.
 * Spell Blade: He is able to use the lightning element chakra flow on his sword to make a Vibroweapon.
 * Throwing Your Sword Always Works: He's fairly good at throwing his swords (or for that matter a pencil) like daggers.
 * Darkskinned Blonde: White in the manga, but tinted yellow in the Anime.
 * Everything's Better with Spinning: One of his maneuvers while using all swords at once is to spin like a top.
 * Excuse Me While I Multitask: Frequently battles while in the middle of rapping, and sometimes even pauses to write down lyrics.
 * Flight, Strength, Heart: In addition to standard tailed beast host powers, his special power is salivating ink.
 * Friend to All Living Things: On the island of giant beasts, he starts by fist-bumping with a giant Gorilla and goes from there. Taken to its extreme when.
 * Ignore the Fanservice: Naruto's Sexy No Jutsu had knocked out even the third hokage and never let him down before...but when he tries to use it to convince Bee to help him out, Bee just shuts the door.
 * Later on, he is distracted by the sexiness of Tsunade's giant cans. And the fact that she doesn't wear a bra.
 * Even later he is distracted by and doesn't notice
 * Image Song: Well, not exactly an official image song per se, but the Shippuden UNS Generations comes with an exclusive song for Killer Bee sung by the voice actor himself (both English and Japanese VA's) And. It. Is. Awesome. (and Hilarious, depending on your opinion)
 * Intergenerational Friendship: With Naruto.
 * Leeroy Jenkins : Invoked in-universe and the Alliance actively tried to Defy it, but ultimately failed.
 * Let's Get Dangerous: There's no way this rapping ninja could be danger... HOLY SHIT!
 * Lightning Bruiser
 * Made of Iron: The guy pretty much shrugs off, in order, a flying kick to the head, electrocution, and a jet-propelled, superhumanly strong fist to the face which left a dust cloud in which he was able to escape without noticeably slowing down. Heck, even his seal-acting tattoo says 'tetsu', which means 'iron'!
 * Won't Work On Me: Twice against Sasuke, first played straight, then subverted: when Sasuke uses his apparently unblockable Chidori Sword on him, he happily blocks it, much to Sasuke and his teammates' surprise. Later Sasuke cast a Tsukiyomi on him, and falls to the ground, unconscious...only to almost kill Sasuke in one hit after letting his guard down.
 * The Obi-Wan: Now serving this role to Naruto, and is actually more balanced and powerful than him in many ways to avoid Mentor Occupational Hazard. Although he has none of the gravitas.
 * Painful Rhyme: Played for Laughs as it is frequently pointed out in-universe that his rapping skills don't quite match his fighting ones. Although some of his rhymes or puns are surprisingly well-thought (the translators do a rather good job with it too).

 * Partial Transformation
 * Punny Name: He's probably called "Killer Bee" because the Japanese words for "bee" and "eight" are homophones. In addition, his brother the Raikage is named A.
 * Additionally, "Killa Beez" is a term used to reference the affiliates of The Wu Tang Clan. That a Crazy Awesome Rapper-cum-Ninja has a name associated with the world's nerdiest hardcore rap groups can't be a coincidence.
 * Scarf of Asskicking
 * Scary Black Man
 * Sealed Evil in a Can: Although the Eight Tails is fairly benevolent now.
 * Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can
 * Shock and Awe: Can channel electricity into his swords.
 * Shout-Out: To Jero, the unlikely African-American enka singer. When you think of Japanese postwar love ballads, you usually don't think of dudes wearing hip hop clothing (or rapping ninjas, for that matter.)
 * Superpower Lottery: Becomes more apparent with each chapter; Bee is one of only four characters in the entire series that has the ability to control the Tailed Beast,  Also, being a Jinchuuriki at that, it allows him him to control the 8-Tail's chakra perfectly. Due to this, he's also completely immune to Genjutsu, not to mention he's also a Lightning Bruiser.
 * Symbiotic Possession: One of the few to actually get along with his Tailed Beast.
 * Uncle Tomfoolery: Subverted in that even when his antics are played for humor, he's far from incompetent.
 * Verbal Tic: Tends to finish most of his lines of speech with "baby" and/or "Oh Yeah!"
 * Vibroweapon: Can turn any weapon into this by using that electricity to vibrate it at a high frequency. Even pencils.
 * Vibroweapon: Can turn any weapon into this by using that electricity to vibrate it at a high frequency. Even pencils.

 * Lightning Can Do Anything: Not only it enhances his strength, toughness, speed and reaction to absurd levels, it also acts as a shield.
 * Social Darwinist: He believes that a shinobi is defined by his strength and an absolute of the shinobi world that those without power will be crushed. Unusually, he said this as less of a "The Reason You Suck" Speech and more of a stern lecture.
 * The Southpaw
 * Spell My Name with an "S": Because of language puns his named can be romanized as A/Ei/Ē. Keeping with the Theme Naming its A.
 * Super Speed: The fasted shinobi alive
 * There Was a Door: He is seen smashing through both a window (his own office window, at that) and a wall that blocked the fastest route to his destination, and his secretary suggested this happens often.

A high ranking Cloud-nin and the Raikage's bodyguard. -

 * Beam Spam: Storm Release: Laser Circus.
 * Darkskinned Blonde
 * Frickin' Laser Beams: combining lightning with water.
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: With C.

 * Peek-a-Bangs

"Voiced By: Hikari Yono (JP)"

 * Ice Queen: Her personality and name. Also
 * Closer to Earth
 * Meaningful Name: It means "cool".

 * Sibling Yin-Yang: Taken to extreme levels with her brother Atsui.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue one to her brother's red.
 * Team Mom
 * Worf Effect: Against Ginkaku and Kinkaku. She was supposed to be the best student of Killer Bee and a deadly ninja but it took little time to bring her down and show how badass these two  really are.
 * Worf Had the Flu: Samui was up against a set of items that come out to Story-Breaker Power for those capable of using them, but the chapter she was defeated made no sense at all since her being sealed completely contradicted the established rules the items played by. As it turned out, Samui's getting sealed had nothing to do with how good or bad she or her opponents were; she was simply undone by the fact that the weapon used on her did not work the way anyone thought it did, and a hidden extra rule that nobody could possibly know about screwed her over. It still didn't escape fans' notice that it's yet another time the villains are allowed to use an Ass Pull to take a female out of the fight easily.
 * What Happened to the Mouse?: As far as we know

Omoi
"Voiced By: Kunihiro Kawamoto (JP)"

Killer Bee's third student, who worries about many things. . -
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Comes up with highly pessimistic and improbable scenarios, like believing that a rock Karui threw could cause an avalanche that could destroy Konoha and after reaching Konoha, was convinced for a moment that it did. This was just after Pain's invasion, by the way.
 * Epileptic Trees: Has a penchant for looking for the Worst Case Scenario, in everything.
