Though, this seems to have gone away as time passed by. This is most evident when he is with Gaara, who Kankurou is forced to put up with due to the fear his younger brother imposes on him. Despite their apparent differences, Gaara and Kankurou become very close over the timeskip as Gaara begins to confide in Kankurou and shares his dreams of wanting to risk his life to protect Sunagakure. As such, Kankurou has become very protective of Gaara, willing to challenge anyone who puts Gaara down in his presence. When Gaara is captured by Akatsuki, Kankurou rushes to his brother's aid in an attempt to save him and even after being nearly killed as a result he does not falter in his resolve to find Gaara. Kankurou has shown to be a rather violent and brutal opponent, often leaving his opponents in extreme pain after battle. He is a talented puppeteer, and with each of his appearances in the major arcs is seen with a new puppet in his arsenal. The three puppets that have been introduced were all originally created by Sasori, and came into Kankurou's possession some time after the former left Sunagakure. Karasu, the first of Kankurou's puppets to make an appearance, has been heavily modified by Kankurou. Because of this it is highly offensive, having numerous concealed weapons and being able to detach any of its limbs for separate attacks. Kuroari, the second of Kankurou's puppets to make an appearance, is used to capture opponents for assassination purposes. Once an opponent is captured within it each of Kuroari's arms convert to saw-blades and slice through the confined opponent. Sanshouo, the third of Kankurou's puppets to make an appearance, is not seen in action in the manga. In the anime, Sanshouo is shown to have a hollow body that Kankurou can take cover in to defend against attacks. These puppets seem to be designed to work together to some degree, as Kankurou frequently uses them in tandem to increase their effectiveness. Karasu, for example, can blanket an area in smoke while Kuroari fires weapons at the blinded opponent.
Sarah is the diva of Kaleido Stage as well as the building manager for the dorms where everyone lives. Many want Sarah to sign on a record label because she is so gifted in singing, but she stays true to Kaleido Stage. She is an avid fan of martial arts, and frequently proposes bizarre alternative methods to help Sora achieve her objectives. Sarah is well acquainted with Kalos and has been with the Stage from the beginning, when she and Kalos were performing on the streets with another friend. This friend, Andy, returns once to try to persuade Sarah to leave Kaleido Stage with offering her a singing career, but she refuses. In the English dub, Sarah has a heavy British accent.
Leon is a French acrobat with a hard and cold character. He is recruited by Kalos to Kaleido Stage but his disgust of Sora Naegino almost makes him terminate his own contract very early on. However, after seeing Sora and May Wong fight on stage, he decides to remain in hopes that one of them can become his true partner. According to Layla, he's so hard on his training and treatment of all partners that almost all of them end up injured and have to give up, earning him an horrible reputation among artists as well as the nickname "God of Death". Leon first chooses May, who becomes his partner in the work "Dracula" and again in the Circus Festival (which they win after performing the "Demon Spiral"). However, he realizes that the partner he truly wants and needs is Sora Naegino, who reminds him of his little sister Sophie, particularly in her dream: "creating a stage with no competition where everyone will have fun." May had also become arrogant and self-centered, so he drops and injures her during an act, forcing May to re-evaluate her worth as a performer. The introduction of his little sister Sophie reveals Leon's stormy past. After their parents died, Leon and Sophie abandoned their abusive relatives and sought a trapeze coach named Alain, who took the siblings under his wing and discovered their potential, as well as how they invented put of scrap the Angelic Act. He subjected both of them to an amazingly hard training (especially Sophie, who was the one with the strongest will to perform the act), but at mid-way Leon felt that Alain couldn't teach them anything and left with Sophie. During the last Circus Festival, Sophie was called by Yuri Killian asking her to meet him before the Festival at which she and Leon were two perform. However, this was a trap: Yuri never meant to meet with her, only wanting Sophie out of the way to cause the pair's forfeit and solidify his win with Layla. Just before the Festival began, however, Sophie tried to come back in time, only to be hit by a car when running across the street; she died in the hospital, with a crushed Leon next to her. Just before she died, Leon called Yuri and tearfully asked him to visit Sophie, trying to deny the rumors about him being the culprit; Yuri, however, knew that he couldn't just show up and didn't. Sophie's death crushed Leon as he struggled with trying to fulfill his sister's dying wish: find and raise the true star in Sophie's place. For that, he subjects all of Sophie's "successors" (including May and Sora) to the same training Sophie went through, which is the cause of his "God of Death" nickname. He eventually realizes, when he meets Sora, that she is the one who can become his partner, perform the Angel Act and become the true star. In the final chapter, Leon is paired up with Sora in the work "The Swan Lake", and after helping Sora perform the act with her, not only fulfills Sophie's wish, but also opens his heart to the idea of performing on a fun, conflict-free stage just like the one his sister dreamed of. In the OVA The Amazing Princess Without a Smile, he tries to take up more comical roles on the Stage, playing one of the three Fools.
Kaioh is the First Rash�. He proclaims himself to be the Creator of the New Century and the Demon Kaioh. Kaioh is the elder blood brother of Raoh and Toki, who remained in Asura after his brothers left the country when they were children. He bears a strong resemblance to Raoh, only with an x-shaped scar on his face. Kaioh is characterized as the strongest warrior of Asura and is the only other character besides Souther to brutally defeat Kenshiro following their initial encounter. He wears a specially constructed armor which allows him to control his evil aura. He hates the main Hokuto bloodline, from which Ken and Hyoh are descended, due to the fact that he was forced to play a subordinate role to Hyoh by Jukei, despite possessing superior skills. Kaioh is the last major villain in the manga (there are others after him) and the final opponent Kenshiro faces in the TV series. (Source: Wikipedia)
