The Deal with him: Kankurou is probably best known for walking around in his pajamas and carrying heavy looking puppets on his back. Kankurou uses branded puppet weapons created by Sasori of the Red Sand, former Sand nin and current Akatsuki member.

Though a formidable ninja in his own right, Kankurou's career is shadowed by his baby brother Gaara's achievements. When they were little genins, all everyone talked about was how scary Gaara was. Gaara's insane abilities as the Shukaku's carrier also made him the the leader of the team. When Gaara became Kazekage, all everyone gushed about was how much they love him, once again side-lining Kankurou until he got his ass kicked by Sasori of the Desert.

Kankurou's avid hobby with experimental face painting of various symbols and shapes is also really useful in distinguishing his age and timeline of events during the flashbacks in the anime.
