A metal pipe 1 has a quadrangular cross section. The metal pipe 1 includes a pair of side walls 11 and 12 facing each other and having a height H, a top portion 13 connected to an upper edge of each of the pair of side walls 11 and 12, and a bottom portion 14 connected to a lower edge of each of the pair of side walls 11 and 12. The metal pipe 1 has a length six times the height H of the side walls 11 and 12 or more. Each of the pair of side walls 11 and 12 includes a high-strength portion 11A or 12A and a pair of low-strength portions 11B or 12B. Each high-strength portion 11A or 12A has a dimension not less than (⅔) H and not more than 3 H as measured in the longitudinal direction of the metal pipe, the high-strength portions forming opposite portions of the pair of side walls 11 and 12, each high-strength portion having a yield strength not less than 500 MPa. The low-strength portions 11B or 12B sandwich the high-strength portion 11A or 12A as determined along the longitudinal direction of the metal pipe, each low-strength portion having a yield strength of CO to 85% of that of the high-strength portion 11A or 12A.
