film s andtelevision program . He is Lilo and Stitch's arch-enemy, and also appears as one of their mainantagonist s on "". An extremely large and muscular alien with a gruff, militant personality, Gantu resembles abiped alshark with gray skin, sky blue eyes and pillar-like legs, wearing black battle shirt and black shorts and stands 20 feet tall. When he is seen by humans onHawaii , he typically attempts to pass himself off asSamoan , though Lilo once told Mertle he was a dog-catcher from Nairobi, which the other girl believed. He is voiced byKevin Michael Richardson .Abilities
Gantu lacks any notable abilities, but his immense stature (he stands around 20 feet, though he is noticeably shorter in the series than in the original movie) means he has strength well above any human (or most alien species), although sufficiently less than Experiment 626. Aside from his lifting capacity and enormous girth, Gantu is a respected captain of the Galactic Federation (or at least he "used" to be), can dance the hula (as seen in the episode "Clip" when Jumba is first shown having hair) and does have many skills. He is depicted in the movie being a very capable spaceship pilot, having marksman-like shooting skills and having competent leadership abilities.
Unlike many comedic villains, Gantu is not depicted as explicitly incompetent. His plans are generally simple but reasonably solid, and his overwhelmingly consistent defeats are generally due to arrogance, incredibly bad luck, and the abilities of 626 rather than personal stupidity.
In "Lilo & Stitch: The Series", Gantu relies primarily on his plasma pistol for combat. Besides firing plasma bolts, Gantu's pistol also can launch nets for capturing experiments. Gantu has invented a trog call to capture experiments more easily.
