Rasa was the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure. He is the father of Temari, Kankurō, and Gaara, and husband of Karura.
When Orochimaru approached Sunagakure with the proposition of joining forces in invading Konohagakure, he agreed due to the economical decline brought about by the Land of Wind's daimyō using the shinobi of Konoha. Hoping that the success of the invasion would prompt additional funding, he planned to have Gaara unleash Shukaku from the centre of Konoha during the Chūnin Exams to put the Konoha shinobi at a disadvantage from the get-go. However, before he could see his plans unfold, he was murdered by Orochimaru impaling him in the chest with the Sword of Kusanagi.
