In his youth, Bee already exhibits the same vitality and assertiveness he shows in adulthood, but his manner of carrying himself is only beginning to form. He is incredibly talented, a fact even his sworn brother Ay acknowledges, and is capable of performing tasks meant for a team on his own. Bee faces prejudice from fellow villagers who fear him as a jinchuriki, but he responds not with bitterness, but with a smile and perseverance—he wants to become the best vessel so as not to let his brother down politically. He is sincerely attached to Ay, calls him brother, and strives to justify his trust. Despite his outward simplicity, Bee possesses a sharp mind and can quickly analyze the battlefield. His famous love for rap is already budding, though in youth it is not as pronounced as in later years. He easily forgives those who tried to harm him and bears no grudge against Motoi, who nearly killed him seeking to avenge his father.
