Jiraiya’s Last (Clan) Name in Naruto Explained

There have been many fan theories as to what Clan of the Hidden Leaf Jiraiya belongs to. Some people think he fits in to the Senju Clan, due to the color of his hair and eyes, as well as his facial features. In reality, this is not true, and Jiraiya simply does not have a known Clan/last name, or comes from a Clan that was too irrelevant to mention in the Naruto storyline. This is because Jiraiya, much like the other Sanin, Tsunade and Orochimaru, are all characters based on a Japanese story called The Tale of Gallant Jiraiya. We can only presume that the decision of keeping Jiraiya’s Clan name in the dark was made in order to not stray his character too far from the story that inspired him.
