Jiraiya is shown wearing a headband with 油【あぶら】 drawn onto it. I know that 油
is the symbol for _abura_ , and that it means "oil".

But how is it related to him? Does it have anything to do with the fact that
he is a sage from Mount Myoboku?

What does the symbol 油 on Jiraiya's headband mean?


The kanji for Oil 油 【あぶら】( _Abura_ ) is the symbol of Myobokuzan. Jiraiya
wearing it on his forehead protector represents his affiliation to it. The
symbol probably comes from their special sacred oil, which allows people to
feel natural energy more easily, and evaporates outside Myobokuzan's
atmosphere.
