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 a very large, fish-like creature. He is usually seen wearing his captain's uniform. His weapon of choice is a blaster, the monstrous extraterrestrial also using physical attacks such as punching and stepping.
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. Gantu is also known to be not that intelligent.
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 served 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.
