Gaara is a prominent character in the Naruto Shippuden anime and manga series. He first appears in the original Naruto series, episode 20, "A New Chapter Begins!".

Born into the Hidden Sand Village, Gaara was made the jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Shukaku as part of his father's plan to create a powerful weapon. This process resulted in his mother's death and left Gaara ostracized and feared by his village.

Driven by loneliness and resentment, Gaara initially viewed others with hostility, fueled by the Shukaku's influence. He was a formidable opponent in the Chunin Exams, showcasing his sand manipulation abilities.

Later in the series, particularly during Naruto Shippuden, Gaara undergoes a significant transformation. Influenced by Naruto Uzumaki's unwavering spirit and belief in friendship, Gaara learns to value connections and strives to protect his village. He eventually becomes the Fifth Kazekage, demonstrating his commitment to his people and his growth as a leader.
