Karura's blood type

Hiya! According what I know about inheritance of blood types (see: Wikipedia), I've managed to solve Karura's blood type. As we know, Gaara's blood type is AB, Temari's O, and Fourth Kazekage's A (and Kankuro's one is B, but now it is not so necessary information). As you can see in the tablet, siblings can have blood types AB and O only if their parent's blood types are A and B. Fourth's blood type was A, so Karura's one must be B.

Simple logic.

Just did the diagram and it's true, Karura's phenotype would B, and her genotype would be dominant B gene, recessive i gene. Since it doesn't come from a databook, I'm not sure it should be listed in the infobox, but at the very least it could go in the trivia section. Thoughts?

I think it should be listed in the info box, but for the sake of some odd-ball saying "maybe blood types don't work the same in Naruto world", a brief explanation in the trivia would be a good idea. Arrancar79 (talk) 01:29, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

This would make for a nice trivia point. It's interesting how all blood type lineages have been actually biologically possible so far. —ShounenSuki ^{(talk | contribs | translations)} 09:18, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Is it possible that Kishimoto actually looked it up to see how it works due to the blood type/personality belief they have in Japan, similar to how astrological signs are used to determined personality aspects? Anyway, I'll list her blood type in the trivia section. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:17, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Obviously he learned about blood types somewhere. I'm just amazed he managed to stay true to both biology and the personality system. Especially considering Kishimoto-sensei doesn't seem that big on using real-life science correctly... —ShounenSuki ^{(talk | contribs | translations)} 23:23, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

While I have no idea on what traits are associated with a blood type, the actual inheritance of blood type is something rather simple, it's a very straightforward Mendelian type of inheritance. Now, if Kishimoto puts the Bombay phenotype somewhere, then I'll be officially impressed. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:03, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Connected to Deidara?

I know this is not a forum, but this one was too striking to leave alone. Is there any connection to Deidara, whose "ultimate" technique (other than that last suicide technique) was named C4 Karura?

Sorry, forgot to sign the last post. Geijustu wa bakuhatsu da (talk) 09:56, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

I think it is just a coincidence. Karura is also a Japanese name for a monster called Garuda. --Nuti (talk) 10:04, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

Her name

Here's a question: where did her name came from? I don't think I can find it in the databooks, and I don't recall it in manga nor anime. So can someone please put a reference point on where the name is mentioned? Yatanogarasu 02:57, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

Second databook, page 71. She's unusual in that only her name is given and not any other character stats. ~SnapperTo 03:15, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

Twins

Isn't possible for Yashamaru and her to be twins? --Ilnarutoanime 17:02, July 21, 2011 (UTC)
