Story

Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep

After the arrest of Dr. Jumba Jookiba, Captain Gantu was sent aboard a spaceship set for arrival upon a lifeless planet, his job to guard the troublesome Experiment 626. Enjoying taunting the little alien, Gantu had no idea that this would spark a hateful relationship between them from that point on, and that three Keyblade wielders had boarded the ship with an unknown goal of setting 626 free. Gantu would later send his alien guards after a boy named Ventus after he freed Stitch, also later battling a girl named Aqua, whom 626 had taken a liking to. The Captain then watched with horror as 626 escaped into the far reaches of space.

Appearance

Gantu is gigantic, steel blue-skinned alien dressed in a sleeveless, black captain's uniform. This uniform has red lining and a small gold badge is pinned to the left side of his chest. He also wears black gauntlets over his wrists. He has three fingers on each hand and elephant-like feet with three very short toes with black toenails. Gantu's head has some fish-like features, including a "dorsal fin" on the top and his nose-less face. He also sports two fleshy, curved "tusks" on either side of his head. His teeth are quite small and rounded and his blue eyes are slanted and lack pupils. He has a teal holster for his blaster strapped to a belt of the same color around his waist.

Personality

Captain of the Galactic Armada, Gantu appreciates his position of authority. Serving no one, his immense size and strength often causes him to underestimate those smaller than he is. Not viewing failure as an option, this extraterrestrial will go to any length to ensure his missions are complete, and that underlings do as told.

Fighting Style

A formidable foe despite his size, Gantu utilizes this to his advantage. He is able to perform devastating charging attacks, as well as fire a blaster. He can punch enemies as well as crush them, and only the combined ability of Aqua and Experiment 626, Astro Shot, can stun him.

Origin

In Lilo and Stitch, Captain Gantu was the main antagonist, serving along side the Grand Councilwoman on Planet Turro, sentencing Dr. Jumba Jookiba to imprisonment. He was later sent aboard a spaceship set for a desert asteroid and containing a dangerous Experiment 626, who was sentenced to exile. 626 escaped much to the captain's displeasure, Gantu later sent to earth in an effort to recapture him. Gantu failed, the Grand Councilwoman forcing his retirement.
