Temari is the oldest child out of her siblings, Kankuro and Gaara of the Desert. She can be very arrogant and over-confident of her abilities, though she does have some very strong attacks. Temari comes from the Village Hidden in the Sand. Apparently she likes Shikamaru. Temari is the daughter of the Kazekage of the Village Hidden in the Sand which is also known and Sunagakure No Sato. She carries a large metal fan which she uses in her ninja attacks, like her summoning which we first see when she comes to Shikamaru's aid during the battle with the Sound 5 when Shikamaru Nara is sent with others to retrieve Act of Sasuke. She summons Kamatari, a Kamaitachi or "Cutting Weasel". Her true Summoning attack is Kuchiyose: Kirikiri Mai (Summoning: Quick Beheading Dance). Temari, Naruto, and Tenten are the only genin that can do Summonings. She and Shikamaru were fighting against Tayuya who was the weakest of the Sound 5 group.
