Sasori is Deidara's former partner from the Akatsuki and a missing-nin from Sunagakure. He is known as Sasori of the Red Sand.He created Kankuro's puppets, among others, and is a genius puppeteer in his own right. Sasori left Sunagakure 20 years before his introduction, but the background on his crimes is unknown. Flashbacks seem to indicate that his descent into darkness started when his parents died, and he attempted to simulate being with them by turning their corpses into puppets (the first puppets he ever created).

Sasori and Deidara have quite different views of what art is. Deidara holds that art is something that is transient, departing quickly, whereas Sasori believed that fine art is something wonderful that's left long into the future. This reflects their individual natures. Deidara outwardly seems to respect Sasori's beliefs but Sasori does not respect Deidara's.
