Kankuro (カンクロウ, Kankurō?) is the second oldest child of the Fourth Kazekage, making him the older brother of Gaara and the younger brother of Temari. "Kankuro" is the name of many famous Kabuki actors which shows in his face paint and quirky style of speech in the original Japanese versions. In the original Japanese, Kankuro speaks with a distinctive Yokohama accent and can often be heard ending his sentences with "jaan". Kankuro's most notable personality trait is his apparent dislike for children, as seen when he is noticeably irritated while in the presence of someone younger than him. This is most evident when he is with Gaara, who Kankuro is forced to put up with due to the fear his younger brother imposes on him. Despite their apparent differences, Gaara and Kankuro become very close over the timeskip as Gaara begins to confide in Kankuro and shares his dreams of wanting to risk his life to protect Sunagakure. As such, Kankuro has become very protective of Gaara, willing to challenge anyone who puts Gaara down in his presence. When Gaara is captured by Akatsuki, Kankuro rushes to his brother's aid in an attempt to save him and even after being defeated in battle does not falter in his resolve to find Gaara.
Kankuro is a talented puppeteer (his "Cat Hat" is even part of the traditional garb of a Bunraku puppeteer), and with each of his appearances in the major arcs is seen with a new puppet in his arsenal and new face paint that corresponds with the design of his newest puppet. The three puppets that have been introduced were all originally created by Sasori, and came into Kankuro's possession some time after the former left Sunagakure. Similarly, each puppet is destroyed by Sasori years later, and it is unknown if Kankuro will rebuild them. In Part I he carries his puppets with him, though in Part II he starts keeping them in summoning scrolls. Each of these puppets is characterized for the excessive clicking noises they make when moving.
Kankuro with Karasu, Sanshouo, and Kuroari
Karasu (烏, Karasu? "Crow"), the first of Kankuro's puppets to make an appearance, is typically kept wrapped in bandages on Kankuro's back in Part I, and he is able to switch places with it at will using a technique similar to the Body Replacement Technique. Because of Kankuro's enjoyment in installing mechanisms into his puppets, Karasu is very offensive, having numerous concealed weapons and being able to detach any of its limbs for separate attacks. Kuroari (黒蟻, Kuroari? "Black Ant"), the second of Kankuro's puppets to make an appearance, does not contain as many hidden weapons as Karasu. Nevertheless, each of its arm segments contain a hidden saw-blade which can be used to inflict large slicing wounds to opponents. Kuroari's primary function is to trap opponents within itself while weapons enter the slots along its body to puncture the opponent. Sanshouo (山椒魚, Sanshōuo?, "Salamander"), the third of Kankuro's puppets to make an appearance, is not seen in action in the manga. In the anime, Sanshouo is shown to have incredible defensive power, having a hollow body that Kankuro and up to two other people can take cover in to defend against attacks.
Kankuro's puppets seem to be designed to work together to some degree, as seen with Poison Fog, Blind Spot Destroyer (, Dokugiri Zuyoku, Baribari Shikaku Renpatsu?) where Karasu blankets the area in a smokescreen while Kuroari fires poisoned needles at the blinded opponent. Black Secret Technique Machine One Shot (黒秘技機々一発, Kurohigi Kiki Ippatsu?) also displays the puppets' abilities to work together, where Karasu navigates an opponent into Kuroari's torso. Once trapped, Karasu separates its limbs to reveal a number of concealed weapons and enters the slots on Kuroari's body to impale the opponent. Similar in purpose though only needing one puppet, Black Secret Technique Machine Two Shot (黒秘技機々二発, Kurohigi Kiki Nihatsu?) calls upon four scythe-like blades to run along the sides of Kuroari's body, reaping the victim inside.
