Might Guy

Might Guy is the leader of Team Guy, though much of his time with this team is focused on Rock Lee. Because Lee's goal in life is to master
taijutsu, Guy's goal has become to help Lee
achieve this dream, dedicating his free time to
teaching Lee all that he knows about taijutsu.
Because of Guy's dedication to Lee, Lee has
modeled himself in his sensei's image, such as
mimicking Guy's distinctive green jumpsuit and
shiny bowl haircut (having already had Guy's
characteristic thick eyebrows). Lee has also
adopted Guy's "nice guy pose," which consists of giving a thumbs up, winking, and smiling with teeth so white they give the proverbial "ping." This action is often used by both Guy and Lee to indicate commitment to a statement they had just made, their highest form of a promise. Guy, and by extension Lee, lives his life by his own "My Rules" philosophy, which involves setting tougher self-imposed penalties for failure in the belief that the punishment will make them stronger.

 

Guy specializes in using taijutsu, though unlike Lee, does so as a matter of preference on his part. Instead he simply chooses not to use ninjutsu or genjutsu, even going so far as to use a regular (albeit bad) disguise during one of the anime's filler arcs instead of using the Transformation Technique. In the few instances that he has used ninjutsu, it has always been offscreen, such as when he summoned a large turtle prior to his first appearance. Through his mastery of taijutsu Guy specializes in the Strong Fist style of combat. Likewise, he can open at least six of the Eight Gates, with each gate giving him more power for short periods of time. As the self-proclaimed rival of Kakashi Hatake, Guy has developed an effective counter against Sharingan users: by focusing on their feet, Guy can both predict the movements of the enemy and negate the hypnotic abilities of the Sharingan that require eye contact.
