Kiba Inuzuka (犬塚キバ, Inuzuka Kiba) is a supporting character of the series and is a member of Team Kurenai along with Hinata Hyūga and Shino Aburame.
Background[]
Ever since he was young, Kiba has been together with his dog Akamaru.
Appearance[]
Kiba has messy brown hair, sharp black eyes with vertical slit-like pupils, pronounced canine teeth, and nails that he can change into claws. He also has the distinctive red fang markings of the Inuzuka clan on his cheeks. Kiba has a black forehead protector with a leather form fitting black jacket, with zips over the chest and sleeves, along with black pants and sandals, also zipped, matching the jacket.
Personality[]
Kiba is a headstrong, energetic individual and can often be seen as being short-tempered and impulsive (in stark contrast to his teammates Shino and Hinata). He cares deeply for Akamaru, and is willing to do whatever is necessary to make sure he is happy.
Kiba is caring towards his teammate, Hinata. Being one of the few people to know about Hinata's crush on Naruto Uzumaki, Kiba is quite supportive and is willing to do anything to have her get together with him.
Kiba is also very close to his other teammate, Shino. Kiba respects Shino's fighting capabilities and sees that without it, it would make things difficult for him. He is also supportive towards Shino as well as shown when he was willing to help find suitable insects for Shino while his kikaichū were hibernating. When all else failed, Kiba helped make sizable sweaters for Shino's insect until winter ended. Although like his other comrades, Kiba tends to interrupt Shino whenever he speaks and not realizing that Shino was actually speaking.
Because he has been raised in a clan that revolves around canines, Kiba favors dog related things and gets excited whenever he hears or talks about them.
Abilites[]

Kiba's fighting style revolves around collaboration techniques alongside his companion Akamaru.

Kiba can use the Transformation Technique and the more advanced form, the Combination Transformation to use his clan's more advanced techniques with Akamaru.
Inuzuka Clan Abilities[]

When fighting with Akamaru, Kiba can use the Fang Passing Fang. They can transform together into a two-headed wolf, and attack by using the Fang Wolf Fang.
Enhanced Senses[]
As an Inuzuka, Kiba has enhanced canine-related senses, his most powerful being his sense of smell. However, this can very well act as a double-edged sword, as being exposed to strong odours can incapacitate him.
