Info: Roushi was older than any other previously seen Jinchuuriki. He contained the four-tailed demon, which took the form of a large lava-emitting gorilla. He was made a Jinchuuriki by Hidden Rock, at some point he and his village parted company. He travelled the world to try and understand his powers. He used his Bijuu to create Youton (Lava Element) Ninjutsu, a combination of Earth and Fire Elements that created a lava which could melt through anything. He was defeated in battle by Kisame.

History and Myth

The great ape family includes chimpanzees, gorillas, humans and orangutans. In one myth, the Satori is mountain-dwelling ape-like creature. In another classic Chinese folk novel, Journey to the West, a young monkey named Sun Wukong goes on an adventure. This story would later inspire other authors, including Akira Toriyama in his Dragon Ball series. Dragon Ball would feature a main character who could transform into a large ape-like creature.
