**Seiten Taisei Son Gokū** (斉天大聖孫悟空, literally meaning: **Great Sage Equalling Heaven Son Gokū**), more commonly known as **Son Gokū** (孫悟空, **Son Gokū**) or simply the **Four-Tails** (四尾, **Yonbi**), is one of the nine tailed beasts. It is one of the two tailed beasts that are rightfully in the Land of Earth (Geography)'s possession

## Background

Son Gokū and the tailed beasts first came into being in the waning days of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, who used his Creation of All Things Technique to divide the Ten-Tails' chakra into nine separate bodies and giving each a name. Some time after being created, the Sage explained to the young tailed beasts that a link existed between them despite their separation. He also foretold of a day when they would be brought together again - though not as they were - and that at that time someone would emerge to show them what true power is. In the anime, before his death, Hagoromo sent Son to live in a temple built for the purpose of protecting it in a desolate rocky region that would later become part of the Land of Earth. Eventually, Son moved on to live in a new location known as the Water Screen Cave, reigning over the monkeys that resided there.

During the First Shinobi World War, Hashirama Senju captured eight of the tailed beasts and sold Son and Kokuō to Iwagakure at the Five Kage Summit, as a sign of friendship and to ensure a balance of power amongst their new villages. The tailed beast would end up being sealed within Rōshi decades later who left his village in a journey to gain a better understanding and control of the tailed beast.

## Personality

Son Gokū is a very prideful tailed beast, as it detests being called by the name "Four-Tails" and boasts about its lineage. It uses "**ore**" (オレ) when referring to itself.

It also hated humans, due to the fact that humans had enslaved it, and believes that apes are more intelligent than humans. However, when talking about the Sage of Six Paths, it showed him great respect, being that also had, apparently, a very deep relationship with him, never forgetting his final words. It also seems to have taken a liking to Naruto Uzumaki, as it was moved by his actions for truly trying to save it from being controlled by Tobi and even gave him some of its chakra before being sealed away. He also treats his fellow tailed beasts with much respect, as he addresses them by their name, as seen with Kurama. Son also has a high amount of respect for those who respect the tailed beasts.

## Appearance

Son Gokū is a red-furred and green-skinned monkey, with a body-build of a gorilla. It has eyes with yellow irides and white pupils, spike-like protrusions along the length of its tails, elongated blunt fangs, and two long horns curving upwards on its forehead like a crown (both its fangs and horns are dark-tipped). In its mouth, Son doesn't have a tongue, but has an opening that is shaped like a dome volcano. During the last remaining days of the Sage of Six Paths, Son was much smaller and leaner with smaller fangs.

## Abilities

As a tailed beast, Son Gokū possesses an enormous supply of chakra and can create the Tailed Beast Ball. Son also seems knowledgeable in taijutsu, likewise showing deceptive nimbleness of its size, utilizing powerful and well-timed kicks against its opponents. Son has a great deal of physical strength, being able to lift and toss Gyūki with ease.

### Ninjutsu

#### Nature Transformation

Son has the ability to use Fire and Earth Release simultaneously, allowing it to use Lava Release. With it, it can create volcanoes, and although never used in the storyline, can breathe a stream of green coloured fire.
