Possibly one of the most kick-ass characters from Naruto. He starts off evil and killing everyone without giving it a second thoguht. He is the Jinchuriki of the one tailed demon Shukaku. A Jinchuriki is the host of the demon (Naruto is also a Jinchuriki). While fighting Naruto, Gaara realizes his mistakes and accepts his teammates as being his siblings. In Shippuden, he is Kazekage and does not kill anymore unless for a good reason, like someone attacked his friends or village. He gave his life to protect his village (although he was brought back to life). Personally, I think he's amazing and one of the most dynamic characters in the manga/anime. (Dynamic meaning he undergoes a noticeable personality change). He also has many fangirls because he's just so freakin awesome.

AKA "Gaara of the Sand"
"To them I'm simply an object from the past that they wish will disappear Then why do I exist? Why am I alive? When I thought about this I could find no answer. But as you live you need a reason otherwise it's the same as being dead, I then came to this conclusion I exist to kill every human besides myself. Fighting only for yourself living while only loving yourself If you think that everybody else simply exist to allow you to experience that feeling nothing is better then that world. As long as there are people in this world for me to kill and continue to feel that joy of living my existence will not vanish.”
