Name: Kankurou Ninja Registration No: 54-002 Age: 14 (I) ; 18 (II) Birthday: 15 May Horoscope: Taurus Bloodtype: B Height: 165 cm (I); 175 cm (II) Weight: 61.2kg(I); 61.2kg (II) Hair: Brown Eyes: Black Rank: Genin (I); Jonin (II) Likes: Hamburger stakes, collecting puppets Dislikes: spinach, children Kankurou is initially characterized by his apparent dislike for children, as seen when he is noticeably irritated while in the presence of someone younger than him. 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.
Akamaru is the nin-dog of Inuzuka Kiba. He is his best friend and plays an important part in all of Kiba's attacks. As a puppy, he is either in Kiba's jacket or on his head, but he later grows to be so large that Kiba can ride him. He has very good senses, even for a dog, and can communicate with Kiba. Akamaru's name means "red" (with "maru" at the end, which is simply an ending for a boy's name. Other males in the show share the suffix). When he eats a solider pill, his fur turns a dark red color. Akamaru's seiyuu is Takeuchi Junko, who also plays the main character Uzumaki Naruto.
A missing-nin and S-ranked criminal, "The Masked Man" is considered a highly dangerous ninja, able to effortlessly defeat other jinchūriki like Yugito Nii as well as several of Konohagakure's top-level ninja. Menma (メンマ, Menma), a character that appears in Naruto 6: Road to Ninja, is the son of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze in the alternate universe of Konohagakure, thus making him the "Naruto Uzumaki" of that world. Like his counterpart, he is the jinchūriki of Kurama, the Nine-Tails. (Source: Narutopedia)
Bony is a rather small starfish that has been serving loyally under Flemia for many years. Bony is generally seen as your average starfish, but with a mustache and two small curly hairs on each side of his head. During the beginning of the Star Song Festival, Bony would be the one to introduce the Queen of Mildesta, Flemia; this would also be the first time Bony was shown in the series. Throughout the Star Song Festival, Bony would generally be seen resisting death while Plue continuously tried to eat him. After Haru and the others effectively say their final farewells to the people of Mildesta, Elie would hand a present to Haru as to celebrate his 17th birthday. Haru opens the present and his rather surprised to find Bony within it. Bony steps out of the present and tells Haru that he will be their guide throughout their journey to the Iima continent -- Bony will elaborate every safe passage throughout the Eastern Sea.

Temari is generally overbearing, if not crude, toward those around her, often not being afraid to speak her mind. One of the few things shown to intimidate her is her younger brother Gaara. She very rarely stays true to her normally tough, demanding attitude, when around the boy, due to the fear of Gaara's wrath. Temari does have a caring side, and is not above showing concern for others. She is often seen with Shikamaru. Temari is a keen analyst, and can easily deduce an opponent's strategies and weaknesses soon after a battle begins. For actual combat she uses her giant iron fan that, in addition to serving as a makeshift club, can be used to glide upon in order to intimidate her foes. Sometime after The Fourth Shinobi War, Temari marries Shikamaru and bears their son Shikadai.
