Jiraiya is a fictional character in the anime and manga series Naruto created by Masashi Kishimoto. His name literally means "coming on one's own," which is a description of his personality; quietly appearing and disappearing from Konoha at any time. The kanji on his forehead protector means "oil." Jiraiya is named after the character of the same name from Jiraiya Goketsu Monogatari "The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya"). The Jiraiya in this story excelled in summoning a giant toad (the toad itself was sometimes called "Jiraiya") and toad magic. In that story, Jiraiya and Tsunade were a married couple. There, his name is written as meaning "Young Thunder" which in turn comes from the name Garaiya came from the Chinese story Kaishi.
