Kimimaro is the sole survivor of the Kaguya clan. Upon dedicating his life to Orochimaru, he became the leader of the formerly-named Sound Five, until he fell ill, which forced him to leave the group. Unlike the rest of his clan, Kimimaro doesn't have a particular interest in fighting or killing and sees his abilities only as a means to be of use to others. He is a calm and quiet individual who will dedicate himself to whatever mission is at hand. His gentleness is also reinforced by how empathetic and kind he is to Jugo, being one of the few people able to keep Jugo from losing control over himself.
