Naruto

Tobi first appears in Naruto Shippuden episode 32. Initially presented as a goofy and somewhat inept member of the Akatsuki organization, Tobi serves primarily as a comic relief character, often bumbling through missions and irritating his partner, Deidara.

However, Tobi's true identity and motivations are far more complex. He gradually reveals himself to be a key player in the overarching narrative, orchestrating events from behind the scenes. His behavior shifts dramatically, becoming calculating and ruthless as his plans come to fruition.

The Tobi persona is eventually discarded, revealing the character's actual identity, which is central to the unfolding story of the series. His actions have profound consequences for the entire ninja world, making him a significant antagonist within the Naruto universe.
