Gonta likes animals very much, especially insects, and he can even speak with them. He is a kind-hearted, gentle, and polite person. He is very pure and naive, as he easily believes strangers and can get easily discouraged by other people's comments. He himself acknowledges that he is "not very smart", which is one of the reasons why he listens to other people so much. However, despite his gentle nature, he can turn very angry if he sees or hear someone tell him that people are hating on insects, and he believes bug lovers can't be bad.
