Why did obito choose the name tobi as an alias?

[NinjutsuSeeker]

Just as the title says, this just randomly popped in my head, and was wonderin if anyone happened to find out why he chose the name tobi.

Why is Tenzo's codename Yamato? That's just the way it is

 

[jordan1]

No special reason

 

[Dantee]

Obito = Tobi.

 

[phats1231]

reverse the alphabets and make a name that makes sense......that's your answer right there...

 

[NinjutsuSeeker]

I mean those are obvious answers. but I was wonderin if tobi had like a hidden meaning to it

 

[VongolaX]

the most obvious name to give kakashi a hint..............................yet he failed

Tenzo was a codename too. His name is unknown. :y

To make us(viewer/readers) use it as a clue to who tobi is
TOBI = OBITO



or just random

O.B.i.T.O
T.O.B.I

I think he just changed the new "Obito letters back and forth just to fuk people's minds.

 

[BlkMagk]

Because he could

Obito's alias was Tobi probably cause he gave an eye to Kakashi.

o = eye

Obito minus o = Bito which is an anagram for Tobi.

 

[EggesGabo]

well idk.

 

[NOemotions]

oBI <- TO tobi lol.. dunno, i guess he randomly took something that's similar to hes name.

 

[Fountain]

To cover up his identity, He called himself tobi. Since he couldn't come up with anything better, He came up with the closets name to his name, Obito.

 

[Zlad]

Why did you choose NinjutsuSeeker? What a dumb question

 

[Reaper]

Obito's alias was Tobi probably cause he gave an eye to Kakashi.

o = eye

Obito minus o = Bito which is an anagram for Tobi.

Undefeated zombie combo was defeated by chunnin !_!

 

[White Fang18]

Maybe he wanted to remain incognito? Simple as that

 

[Khallil]

obito>otibo>otobi>tobi

 

[themanwithnoname]

i have heard that TO-BI means 'TEN TAILS'
like 'kyuu-bi'
altho that doesn't make sense unless it's a different language, cuz obv. JUUBI is ten tails, so idk
