Abstract
Kiba Inuzuka is a very distinctive character in the "Naruto" series. He is not only a member of the Inuzuka clan of Konohagakure, but also the core combat force of Team 8 (Hyuga Hinata, Aburame Shino). At the age of 12, he became a Genin and joined Team 8 led by Yuhi Kurenai, forming a reconnaissance team with Hinata and Shino.
Origin and Background
Kiba was born in the Inuzuka clan of the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Fire. The family is famous for cooperating with ninja dogs. He has been inseparable from the ninja dog Akamaru since he was a child and regards him as a brother. His mother Inuzuka Tsumugi is a jonin, and his sister Inuzuka Hana is a chuunin and veterinarian. His family background has given him a strong sense of teamwork.
Personality and Hobbies
Kiba is very competitive and often regards himself as a leader, but he values his companions in his heart. For example, in the rescue mission of Sasuke, he was willing to die with the enemy to protect Akamaru.
Although he is fierce in battle, Kiba is extremely gentle to Akamaru in private, and even gets furious when Akamaru is injured.
He often adjusts the atmosphere of Team 8 with his straightforward personality, especially when Hinata is shy or Shino is silent.
It is an unshakable habit to take Akamaru for a walk every morning. In battle, he uses Akamaru's urine to mark the enemy through "air dynamic tracking". Although the tactic is "dirty", it is efficient2.
Kiba loves barbecue the most and hates vegetarian food. He often competes with Akimichi Choji in eating (but his eating capacity is not as good as Choji).

Ending and Impact
During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kiba Inuzuka was a member of the reconnaissance team. He used his sense of smell to see through the disguise of White Zetsu and combined with Akamaru to fight against the Ten-Tails. After the war, he was promoted to Jonin and continued to lead Team 8 to carry out missions.
Cultural Significance
The character design of Kiba breaks the stereotype of "lone wolf ninja", emphasizes the cooperative symbiosis between humans and animals, and has a "human-animal integration" fighting style. From a confident and reckless boy to a calm and steady ninja, his skill design and story line perfectly blend wildness and warmth.
