Strangely, I didn't really describe them well at their introduction. I wonder just how many different imaginings my fan base had for them, but I think I'll set the record straight here and now. Anyway, these are probably my least favorite original characters introduced so far. Like Gai, they are flamboyant and over-the-top. I strongly detest characters like them with one, notable exception. The exception is Major Armstrong, from Full Metal Alchemist.

Anyway, I initially imagined them rather large and rotund wearing only pants and vests. I think I imagined them in fez hats, all Disney's Aladdin Saudi like (note: not actually Saudi like - I'm not about to insult my Saudi friends with a bad comparison). Their idiocy reminded me of bad representations in general, so I think I was aiming for the added 'hey, look at me' factor. Unfortunately, the very thing I dislike about them may draw my fan base to them. In the end, their form factor was much slimmer and more bodybuilder.

The brothers Iwafutae wear black pants, but Ichi wears a red vest while Ni sports blue. Their bodies are finely tones to help better control their immense ability to shape stone. They often forget their precious family techniques are in fact kekkei genkai because the advanced bloodline goes by the same name as their clan. Nobody ever accused the Iwafutae of being the brightest in the bunch.

They hail from Earth and proudly serve the local daimyo and Iwa's Tsuchikage. They are giants among men, and their family is used to literally looking down on people. They don't think less of 'smaller' people, but they don't have much finesse when it comes to words. They save such matters for shaping rock. Truly, they are humble; though, they fiercely guard the secrets of their craft. As Kakashi admits, nothing, not even the Sharingan, can copy exactly what they do.

They are Doton users of the extreme variety. While not an explosive kekkei genkai, the Iwafutae can shape and mold solid rock as if it were malleable clay. When they move earth, even the largest boulders look like flowing water droplets. As such, they can quickly create a rough outline of whatever they wish to create. It takes them longer to finely shape the final creation, but they do make things a lot easier.
