![]() Gaara adopted a mainly sadistic demeanor and exceptional bloodthirst. Realizing that he had been abandoned by his family, Gaara adopted the belief that he could only rely upon himself and Shukaku, and that he had to kill others in order to confirm the value of his own existence. All of the attempts on Gaara's life failed, as Shukaku would always protect Gaara from harm and kill the assassin. These attacks on the villagers convinced Gaara's father that he was a failed experiment, and he ordered Gaara's assassination. Shukaku would occasionally manipulate sand against Gaara's will to harm other villagers, cementing their perception of him. ![]() Despite this, Gaara was ostracized by the Sunagakure villagers, who viewed him as a monster for being the host of a tailed beast. ![]() Gaara was trained by his father throughout his childhood to help gain control over the abilities granted to him by Shukaku. The Fourth Kazekage, Gaara's father and the leader of the village of Sunagakure, intended to use Gaara as the village's personal weapon. Before he was born, Gaara's father had the tanuki-like One-Tailed Shukaku ( 一尾の守鶴 Ichibi no Shukaku ?, English TV: "Shukaku the Sand Spirit"), a tailed beast, sealed into his body while Gaara was still in his mother's womb, giving him the power to manipulate sand. Gaara's background is primarily expanded upon in flashbacks during Naruto manga volume fifteen. Kishimoto cites The Matrix, one of his favorite movies, as an inspiration for Gaara's new costume, and he considers it to be his favorite costume of the three siblings. In addition to being easier to draw, it was used to demonstrate the change in relationship between Gaara and Naruto following their previous fight. Because of this, Kishimoto gave the three of them simpler costumes towards the end of Part I Gaara received an outfit with an upright collar. Gaara's initial attire, along with the costumes of his siblings, were difficult for Kishimoto to draw on a weekly basis. Gaara's backstory became one of Kishimoto's favorite stories from Part I Kishimoto had to revise his illustrations in such chapters in as he wanted readers to understand more Gaara's mental state. Additionally, his design was designed to look like the Tanuki since Kishimoto thought that it would make him a good rival for Naruto's Nine-tailed Demon Fox since several parts from the Shukaku were considered by Kishimoto to be opposite ones from the Demon Fox. Gaara's development from this state into a highly withdrawn, sadistic character was intended to induce sympathy for him from readers, as it was contrasted against Naruto's development into a cheerful troublemaker. He and Naruto have a similar background: he was rejected by his peers and fellow villagers for being the host of a tailed beast, Shukaku, a situation that Kishimoto describes as "very much like Naruto's". Naruto author Masashi Kishimoto created Gaara as a foil to the series' protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki. Numerous pieces of merchandise have been released in Gaara's likeness, including plush dolls and key chains. Among the Naruto reader base, Gaara has been popular, placing high in several popularity polls, and always making it to the top ten characters. Anime News Network called Naruto's fight against Gaara the high point of the entire series. IGN labeled the disparity between Naruto and Gaara as "emotional" and "a tad creepy". Numerous anime and manga publications have commented on Gaara's character. Gaara has appeared in several pieces of Naruto media, including the second featured film in the series, the third original video animation, and several video games. In Part II of the series, he becomes Sunagakure's Fifth Kazekage. His battle with Naruto during the series changes this outlook, and he begins to aid others in order to emulate Naruto. As a result, he develops into a ruthless killer, slaying others without remorse, and treating his siblings Kankuro and Temari with contempt. As a fetus, his father attempted to turn him into a human weapon by placing a tailed beast into him, and he was ostracized by the Sunagakure villagers. In the anime and manga, Gaara is a ninja affiliated with Sunagakure, and is the son of Sunagakure's leader, the Fourth Kazekage. Initially introduced as an antagonist and Naruto's rival, the two eventually develop a bond as kindred spirits and become close friends as the series progresses. Kishimoto designed Gaara as a foil to the series' titular character, Naruto Uzumaki, as the two were born through similar circumstances, but develop vastly different personalities as they deal with their troubled upbringing. Kankuro (brother) Gaara ( 我愛羅 ?) is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto.
