Naruto Hurricane ChroniclesNaruto ShippuudenCharacter Description: Rock Lee
Previous Page Top of PageRock Lee is the epitome of hard work and determination.
For many years, this youth with little to no promise continued in his training to someday become a ninja--despite the fact that no one really believed he could ever succeed. He had no skill in controlling his life force (chakra), and therefore couldn't perform even the most basic of ninja techniques. Even his hand-to-hand combat skills were below average.
Yet, after training those hand-to-hand skills for years with heart and focus, Rock Lee has become one of the better known genin in Hidden Leaf Village. He only knows taijutsu (hand-to-hand), but his skills are considerably tough to handle...the speed his body is able to maintain is unnerving, as is his iron will to succeed.
Lee is the spitting image of his young sensei (
Gai, the rival of Kakashi); he idolizes the man. His intensity and excitement with his training spread to all aspects of his life (which you can imagine makes him an interesting character to watch). His rosy red cheeks and large, round eyes give away whatever emotion he feels instantly.
An innocent and sweet kid at heart, Lee is on a team of three with a girl weapon specialist named
Tenten, and a famed genius of a specialized hand-to-hand combat style, Hyuuga Neji. Neji's fatalistic nature and constant mockery of Lee reinforce the boy's determination to prove himself.
It is this determination that makes Rock Lee great. After years of being taunted by everyone, Lee is willing to destroy himself to prove one thing: that if a person is determined enough, they can overcome any trial.
Lee goes into a drunken frenzy whenever he takes even a small sip of sake. He basically can't have any ever since he ruined a restaurant at one point after the smallest sip. The whole entire event of being in the restaurant was with
Gai and was meant as a celebration for Lee's accomplishment of Primary Lotus.
Rock Lee has another fighting style that is seen later on in the series (after the
Fifth Hokage arrives). Lee ends up in a fight with
Kimimaro and just as it seems hopeless for Lee to win, he drinks a so-called medicine given to him by
Gai-sensai. A few seconds later Lee is drunker than
Jiraiya at a frat party. At first
Kimimaro couldn't figure out why he was having a hard time fighting Lee until he took a wiff of what was in the bottle: sake.
Gai explains to the
Fifth Hokage that Lee knows the Drunken Fist Style. Apparently,
Gai took his squad to a restaruant to celebrate and during that time Lee accidently drank
Gai's sake instead of water. Lee then trashed the restaruant and when
Gai woke up he and
Neji tried to restrain him.
Gai realized that he can secretly give Lee a bottle of sake in order to unleash his drunken fury.
Lee is also called "The Green Beast of the Leaf" by American fans, and called "The Green Beast of Konoha" by Japanese fans.
Ages
A Naruto Profiles book states that
Tenten and
Neji are 13 years old. Kabuto states that Rock Lee is a year older than the Rookie 9
Naruto,
Sakura,
Sasuke,
Kiba,
Hinata,
Shino,
Shikamaru,
Ino,
Chouji, who are all 12 years old at the start of the show, making Rock Lee 13. Now, a Naruto Collector's Guide also says that Rock Lee is a year younger than his teammates, which would seem to make him 12 or them 14, and thus kick up a contradiction. However, this is not necessarily the case.
We do usually talk about ages in years, even though not everyone is exactly one year apart in age. So if someone is 13 years old and someone else is 14 years old, we would typically say that one is a year older than the other, even though they might only be a few months apart in age with the 13 year old having not yet had his or her birthday. This is likely the situation we are seeing here, especially considering the characters birth months: Lee's is November,
Neji's is July, and
Tenten's is March. Lee is younger than his teammates, but only by months, not an entire year.
It can also be the case that the Naruto Collector's Guide is listing character ages from a year after the show's debut, which would make everyone a year older. Of course, to make things even more confusing,
Naruto Anime Profiles, Volume 1: Episodes 1-37 lists
Tenten,
Neji, and Rock Lee as all being 14 years old.
Character Description: Rock Lee
Previous Page Top of PageRock Lee is a genin, but is determined to protect his ninja way. He mainly wants to protect his way because he has been known as a hot-blooded drop-out since he was 6. With no gen-jutsu or nin-jutsu skill he trains hard to master tai-jutsu (hand-to-hand combat). Lee has amazing speed, as seen in episode 49.
Rock Lee is the only chuunin or genin who can perform the Lotus of Kohnoha. This move requires 3 gates to be opened, the first gate releasing the brain's control on muscle strain, then the life gate giving the user more stamina, and finally the healing gate putting less strain on the user's muscles. If all 8 chakra gates are opened the user will suffer death. As seen in the episode, Lee opened 5 gates, the last being the forest gate. This nearly killed him, but to make it worse
Gaara destroyed his left leg and arm. Lee hopes to avenge
Neji his arch rivalry, for
Neji was always better and showed-off and put Lee down.
