The Kazekage (風影; Literally meaning "Wind Shadow") are the leaders of Sunagakure. Feared and respected across the world, they are responsible for making Sunagakure a powerful and great village, despite its small size. However, being responsible for raising so many great shinobi seems to comes at a heavy price, as all the Kazekage, including the current, so far have met untimely deaths at the hands of assassins. For this reason, the Kazekage lineage is sometimes considered cursed.
Statues of all the former Kazekage are kept in the room where Sunagakure's council convenes, similar to the Hokage Monument.

[edit] List of Kazekages
[edit] First Kazekage
The First Kazekage (初代風影, Shodai Kazekage; Literally meaning "First or Founding Wind Shadow") was the founder of Sunagakure, gathering the desert-dwelling shinobi under his control with his overwhelming power.
[edit] Second Kazekage
The Second Kazekage (二代目風影, Nidaime Kazekage; Literally meaning "Second Wind Shadow") was the successor of the First Kazekage. He was the first to research the jinchūriki, in an attempt to greatly enhance the power of the village.
[edit] Third Kazekage
Main article: Third Kazekage The Third Kazekage (三代目風影, Sandaime Kazekage; Literally meaning "Third Wind Shadow") was once the leader of Sunagakure, though his true name is unknown. He had the unique ability to manipulate his chakra and convert it into magnetic forces, which made him immune to all metallic weapons. After studying the host of Shukaku of the time, he recreated its sand-manipulating powers by combining his own magnetic chakra and iron powder, which produced the Iron Sand technique. It was for this very ability that he was noted as the strongest Kazekage in the entire history of Sunagakure.
[edit] Fourth Kazekage
Main article: Fourth Kazekage The Fourth Kazekage (四代目風影, Yondaime Kazekage; Literally meaning "Fourth Wind Shadow") was the previous leader of Sunagakure. He is the father of Temari, Kankurō, and Gaara, and husband of Karura. His actual name is unknown.
[edit] Fifth Kazekage

He is a shinobi of Sunagakure and is the Fifth Kazekage (五代目風影, Godaime Kazekage; Literally meaning "Fifth Wind Shadow"). Gaara is also the youngest child of the late Fourth Kazekage, and the younger brother of both Kankurō and Temari. He was the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Shukaku and, being raised as a tool of Sunagakure, Gaara gained the nickname Gaara of the Sand Waterfall (砂瀑の我愛羅, Sabaku no Gaara; English "Gaara of the Desert").
