Deidara

Deidara is a character from the Naruto series.
== Charactah Account ==
Deidara is a missing-nin from Iwagakure. Before joining Akatsuki, Deidara was as a terrorist bomber for hire, where his work attracted the attention of Pain. Pain sent other Akatsuki members to recruit Deidara, though he refused. After being defeated by Itachi Uchiha, however, Deidara was forced to join the organization. Deidara maintained a deep loathing for Itachi from that point further and became determined to defeat him, even training one of his eyes to overcome Itachi's signature ability: genjutsu. Deidara was partnered with Sasori upon joining the organization, whose artistic ability and insight Deidara admired. After Sasori's death Deidara is paired with Tobi whom he treats as a disciple. Despite Tobi's habit of accidentally angering Deidara, Deidara takes great care to keep Tobi out of harm's way and even dedicates his final moments to apologizing to him.
In battle, Deidara uses special mouths in the palm of each hand to create Exploding Clay, chakra-infused clay that explodes on command. He commonly uses the command "Katsu" to trigger it. The blast strength of his creations is determined by how much chakra he adds to them. His clay can take on any size or form, ranging from microscopic in size to copies of himself as tall as a skyscraper. Deidara refers to his creations as art, believing the most beautiful thing about them to be their detonation. His admiration for his art is such that he believes it can't be defeated, leading to overconfidence in battle. Depending on the complexity or potency of one of his works, Deidara applies it a designation from anywhere between "C1" to "C4", the former being the most basic and the latter being his strongest and most complex attack. For his final act, Deidara also has a mouth on his chest that, once provided with clay, turns him into a living bomb that destroys everything in a 10 kilometer radius.

== Trivia ==
* Deidara's catch phrase was originally coined by famous Japanese abstract artist Tarou Okamoto, whose works inspired many of Deidara's explosives.
* Deidara ranked 3rd in one official character popularity poll shortly after his debut, just one rank above Naruto. He also ranked higher than any other member of Akatsuki (though at the point that poll was taken, only about half of Akatsuki's members were formally introduced).
* Ironically, and unknown to him, his second partner, Tobi, had the kekkei genkai he despised: the Sharingan.
* Deidara's characteristic "katsu", which he uses to detonate his explosive clay, is a type of shout that is used in Zen Buddhism to stop the discursive thoughts of practitioners, potentially helping them achieve an enlightenment experience. It is also used as a means of focusing energy.
* According to the databook(s):
** Deidara had completed 82 official missions in total: 4 D-rank, 27 C-rank, 35 B-rank, 13 A-rank, 3 S-rank.
** Deidara's hobby was experimenting with explosions.
** Deidara wished to fight Itachi Uchiha.
** Deidara's favourite food was bakudan, a pun on the actual food (boiled eggs in surimi) and the Japanese word meaning bombs, while his least favourite was mixed rice/pilaf.
** Deidara's favourite phrase was "Art is an Explosion!" (Geijutsu wa Bakuhatsu da).
* Tobi commented that Deidara would die from an explosion, while Sasori said that he was the type to die young. Both of them were right, as Deidara would later self-destruct with a massive explosion, as a last effort to kill Sasuke at the age of 19.
* He referred to his previous partner Sasori as Master Sasori (Sasori no Danna, English TV: Sasori, my man), but Sasori was not the only person that Deidara called with this title: in Shippuuden episode 18 and in an omake for this episode, Deidara referred Kisame as "Kisame no Danna" (English TV: Kisame, my man) as well.
* After being reincarnated Deidara was not aware that Sasuke was still alive, having died believing that his final attack killed the both of them despite what Oonoki had told him. In the anime, Kurotsuchi reiterates this point to Deidara once more.
* Deidara's tendency to finish his sentences with nasal grunts is similar to Zaku Abumi's.
