Gaara Gaara (我愛羅 ) is a fictional character in the "Naruto" manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto. Initially introduced as an antagonist, Gaara is a shinobi affiliated with Sunagakure and is the son of Sunagakure's leader, the Fourth Kazekage. He was born as a demon's host as part of his father's intention to have a weapon to restore their village. However, a combination of being ostracized by the Sunagakure villagers, his early inability to control the Tailed Beast, and the notion that his deceased mother called him her curse on the village caused Gaara to become a ruthless killer who believes his own purpose is to kill his enemies. Only after meeting Naruto Uzumaki does Gaara earn a change of perspective, as he eventually becomes Sunagakure's Fifth Kazekage (五代目風影 , Godaime Kazekage ) and gains acceptance by his people. Gaara has appeared in several pieces of "Naruto" media, including two of the featured films in the series, the third original video animation, and several video games
