Naruto characters - Sakon and Ukon

Sakon and Ukon

Sakon (左近 ^?) and Ukon (右近 ^?) are twin brothers who share the same position in the Sound Four. Sakon was the final character in the Sound Four created by Kishimoto, who initially was unable to decide which character for him to fight. After deciding to have him battle Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru in a two-on-two battle, Kishimoto created Ukon to complete the matchup.^[2] In battle, Sakon enjoys toying with his opponents, causing him to waste time in battle by using showy techniques. Conversely, Ukon is impatient and likes to end battles quickly. Due to their genetic ability, the brothers can merge their bodies together. Ukon usually resides in Sakon's body, with only his head protruding on Sakon's back.^[29] When Sakon battles an opponent, Ukon can protrude his arms and legs from Sakon's body to increase the strength of his attacks and defend his blindspots.^[30] Both brothers can also merge with an opponent's body, where they can destroy the opponent's cells from within.^[31] Sakon and Ukon manage to overpower Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru in their battle, but Kankuro arrives and kills Sakon and Ukon.^[32] In the Japanese anime, the seiyū for both brothers is Shunsuke Sakuya,^[33] and their English voice actor is Brian Beacock.^[34]
