Baki (Baki) is the sensei of Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari, and he oversaw the three's progress during the Chunin Exams. After he converses with Kabuto Yakushi about the planned invasion of Konoha, he offers to eliminate the eavesdropper of their conversation as a sign of trust. Although the eavesdropper, Hayate Gekko, is able to strike him, Baki's unavoidable Blade of Wind (Kaze no Yaiba, English TV "Wind Sword") kills him. Baki led the fight with the Sand and Sound shinobi in the Konoha stadium during the invasion and had an unfinished duel with Genma Shiranui.
In Part II, he seems to be serving on Sunagakure's advisory council, and has a more favorable view of Gaara than the other council members. When Kankuro was injured by Sasori, Baki seemed to be very concerned about Kankuro's condition.
Kankuro
Age: 141-152 in Part I, 17 in Part II
Rank: Jonin
Seiyu: Yasuyuki Kase
Voice actor: Michael Lindsay
Kankuro (Kankurō) is the second oldest child of the Fourth Kazekage, making him the older brother of Gaara and the younger brother of Temari. 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 bedridden as a result he does not falter in his resolve to find Gaara.
Kankuro 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 Kankuro's possession some time after the former left Sunagakure. Karasu (Karasu "Crow"), the first of Kankuro's puppets to make an appearance, has been heavily modified by Kankuro. Because of this it has become highly offensive, having numerous concealed weapons and being able to detach any of its limbs for separate attacks. Kuroari (Kuroari "Black Ant"), the second of Kankuro'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 a saw-blades slice through the confined opponent. Sanshouo (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. These puppets seem to be designed to work together to some degree, as Kankuro frequently uses them in tandem to increase their effectiveness. One such example is Black Secret Technique Machine One Shot (Kurohigi Kiki Ippatsu), where Karasu, after navigating an opponent into Kuroari's torso, separates its limbs to reveal a number of concealed weapons and enters the slots on Kuroari's body to impale the opponent.
Temari
Age: 151-162 in Part I, 18 in Part II
Rank: Jonin
Seiyu: Romi Paku
Voice actor: Tara Platt
Temari (Temari) is the oldest child of the Fourth Kazekage, making her the older sister of Gaara and Kankuro. She is generally overbearing, if not crude, toward those around her, often not being afraid to speak her mind. Temari seems to value peace, and questions Sunagakure's justifications for going to war with Konohagakure. This trait carries over to Part II where she begins acting as a liaison between Sunagakure and Konoha as the two villages prepare for the next Chunin Exam. Many of Temari's appearances are associated with Shikamaru Nara. The two face each other during the Chunin Exam in Part I, where Shikamaru forfeits his match instead of defeating Temari. Temari later comes to his aid during the Sasuke Retrieval arc and defeats Tayuya to save him. Shikamaru returns the favor in the last of the anime's filler arcs and saves her from one of the Shiitenshounin. In addition, the two are seen together in their Part II debuts. In this instance, Naruto Uzumaki asks if the two are on a date, though both state that this is not the case.
Temari is a keen analyst, and can 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, she can use to glide upon for short distances. The fan's primary usage is for performing Cutting Whirlwind Technique (Kamaitachi no Jutsu, English TV "Wind Scythe Jutsu"), which creates guidable gusts of wind with which to attack opponents. Her fan also allows her to create tornadoes to immobilize opponents or winds strong enough to manipulate the surrounding environment to her advantage. The fan can also be used to summon Kamatari (Kamatari), a one-eyed weasel that creates gusts of wind for Temari that are capable of decimating an entire forest.
