Aloha Iroha, known as IROHA de GOZARU (lit. I'm Iroha) in Japan, is a series of four-panel manga based on Final Fantasy XI and follows the story of Iroha, the main heroine of Final Fantasy XI: Rhapsodies of Vana'diel. It was drawn by Tomokichi and published on PlayOnline's Final Fantasy XI official site from August 11, 2015 to December 25, 2015.

The Japanese name uses de gozaru (でござる?) which is an archaic expression denoting a state of being, equivalent to desu (です?). In fiction it is often used by samurai and other traditional Japanese roles. In the Japanese version the manga name, Iroha de gozaru (いろはでござる?), are the final words of the manga. The English version ends with an ordinary translation, and instead titles the last strip the manga name "Aloha Iroha".
