Kankurō has brown hair and dark eyes. He wears a Bunraku puppeteer's costume; a black, baggy, full body suit with a red and yellow circle on the front. He also wears a black hood which covered his head completely, and had cat-like ears and his forehead protector on his forehead. Kankurō was shown to be very prideful of his village, saying they're not as soft as Konoha ninja. In Part I, one noticeable personality trait he displayed was an apparent dislike for children, first seen when he attempted to beat up Konohamaru for running into him. This carried over to many of his interactions with other characters, as he was noticeably irritated when in the presence of someone younger than him. This was most evident when he was seen with Gaara, who Kankurō was forced to put up with due to the fear his younger brother imposed on him. When he's stressed, he can be a bit snappy and anxious. His overwhelmed state is usually irritable and he will focus on one thing until he relaxes. When he's not stressed, he can be a bit of a goof. He likes to tease and joke. His personality can be flighty too, he doesn't necessarily like to tied down to things or people
