A metal pipe includes a pair of side walls facing each other and having a height H, a top portion connected to an upper edge of each of the pair of side walls, and a bottom portion connected to a lower edge of each of the pair of side walls. The metal pipe has a length six times the height H of the side walls or more. Each side wall pair includes a high-strength portion and a pair of low-strength portions, the low strength portions sandwiching the high strength portion. A high-strength portion dimension is not less than ⅔H and not more than 3H as measured longitudinally of the metal pipe, the high-strength portions forming opposite portions of the side wall pairs. The low-strength portion yield strength is 60 to 85% of that of the high-strength portion, whose yield strength is not less than 500 MPa.
