Gantu

Unreleased

Gantu is an antagonist set to appear in the Lilo & Stitch-based world Deep Space in the upcoming PSP title, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. A trained soldier of the Galactic Federation, he was sent aboard a spaceship that held a dangerous secret, Experiment 626. He later held a desperate struggle to retain the captured extraterrestrial, dealing with three treacherous Keyblade wielders, Terra, Ven, and Aqua. He stands seven meters high and is strangely whale-like.

Story
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.

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.
