Character Synopsis [₪] Daikoku appears as a hooded and masked individual. He wears a suited grey robe with a long sleeved black shirt underneath, while wearing matching pants. His hands are gloved, where each knuckle has a metal plate over it to deal more damage than necessary. His mask is suited with materials "fitted for war," making them very hard to break.[₪] Daikoku has trained his eyes to counter genjutsu, allowing him to see through and negate them. When he does this, his pupil will contract. This training was done in order to counter the sharingan's powerful genjutsu skills, of which he had a considerable loathing, and wished to defeat if he got the chance.[₪] One of his strong points are his intelligence, often using tricks, misdirection, and calculated gambles to get his explosives in range of an opponent; however, Daikoku's obsession with his art can make him give up on strategics in exchange for tactics in order to show off.[₪] As a long-range specialist, he is weaker in close combat, but skilled enough to hold off a close combat battle with specialists. Daikoku also has great endurance to pain, being able to keep focused. Along with his endurance to pain, Daikoku also has great physical strength, able to pull himself free from chakra-infused sand.[₪] Daikoku epitomizes versatility in many ways. He has been known to conceal his abilities through masterful hand-to-hand combat skills and the art of pressure point techniques. His prowess proved great enough to defeat even the most powerful of shinobi. He also demonstrated his agility as a nimble fighter, allowing him to maneuver gracefully and evade ninjutsu attacks with ease, even at close-range. His extreme resilience allows him to withstand a point-blank attacks.

Kekkei Genkai ↓
[₪] Explosion Release (爆遁, Bakuton) is an advanced chakra nature kekkei genkai. This chakra nature seems to give the wielder the ability to utilise explosive chakra in combat, allowing them to cause explosions in objects they come into contact with.
[₪] This technique was developed from a forbidden technique that the Okamoto Clan stole from Iwagakure. By using the technique's ability to knead chakra into objects through the mouths in the palms of their hands, they could infuse clay with chakra. They then mold it into a shape depending on the abilities they want it to have and spit it out. After molding the clay, the Okamoto can enlarge it to various sizes depending on the intended purpose of the clay. Once enlarged, the clay creations can be brought to life and controlled remotely by the user. Daikoku can make the clay explode by saying Katsu (喝), along with a hand seal that is similar to the tiger/ram, but with only one hand. Though the explosives are powerful, they are all earth-based techniques, and as such, can be defused by a lightning technique.
Clay Ranking ↓
The Okamoto rank their clay by number in a fashion similar to the C-4 explosive, the weakest being C1 and the most powerful being C4. The other clay ranks are much more dangerous than C1, and any foe that sees Daikoku use any rank higher than C1 is usually one Daikoku sees as a worthy opponent:[₪] C1: Daikoku's most basic and versatile form of explosive clay created from a single palm mouth. These are small animated dolls that often resemble small birds or insects, though he has once made snakes, fish and some misshapen-like creatures controlled by Daikoku through a wire made out of clay which could regenerate themselves, while multiplying. They have little explosive power, making them excellent for covert operations. He can release them at high speeds.
[₪] C2 "Dragon" (ドラゴン, Doragon): One of Daikoku's specialties; a large dragon, capable of flight. While Daikoku is safely on its back, the dragon spits out smaller clay figures that attack the opponent like guided missiles. The dragon also produces clay mines, which are used to force opponents to fight in a limited space.
[₪] C3: Daikoku's most powerful large scale bomb, an enormous, roughly human-shaped statue that Deidara drops on targets from above. Its explosive power was great enough to apparently destroy a large portion of Iwagakure.
[₪] C4 "Garuda" (カルラ, Karura; Viz "C4 Karura"): A giant doll, shaped like Daikoku himself. When it ruptures, a cloud of microscopic bombs is released. Impossible to be seen by normal people, the victims breathe in the bombs, which then enter the bloodstream. Once there, the countless micro-bombs explode, causing the victims' bodies to disintegrate at the cellular level, literally turning them into dust.
[₪] C0 "Ultimate Art" (究極芸術, Kyūkyoku Geijutsu): Daikoku's most powerful jutsu; a suicidal technique in which he eats a large ball of clay with the mouth on his chest. This consumes his entire body, condensing the body into a large black sphere with jagged teeth and pupil-less eyes. The sphere then opens up and detonates, destroying everything within a blast that covers more than ten kilometers.
