Kankuro hailing from the Village Hidden in the Sand, along with his team mates and siblings, Gaara of the Desert and Temari. Together, they all participate in the Chuuin Exam.

Kankuro's unique ability is that he can control puppets by channeling his chakara into the strings of the puppet. He has three puppets he uses: Karasu, Kuroari, and Sanshouo. He starts the series with Karasu, getting Kuroari later on, and then getting Sanshouo after the time skip.

Kankuro is a proud fighter, though he doesn't take battles seriously and is pretty cocky. If you insult his ability to fight, he will die trying to kill you.

Kankuro is the middle sibling, with Gaara being the youngest and Temari being the oldest.
