Rasa羅砂 was the Fourth Kazekage (四代目風影, Yondaime Kazekage, Literally meaning: Fourth Wind Shadow) of Sunagakure. Renowned for his ability to use Gold Dust, Rasa’s reign as Kazekage was marked by his frequent quelling of rampages by the One-Tailed Shukaku, which he had sealed into his youngest son, Gaara.

Trivia[]
- The name “Rasa” (羅砂) means either “demon sand” or “silky sand”.
- His hair color was a dull purple color in his first appearance, but it is auburn in other appearances.[1]
- According to the databook(s):
- His favorite food was any dish with meat.
- In the fourth databook, Hiden is listed among Rasa’s special characteristics, though none of his techniques are known to be classified as such.
- While they have no names in the anime and manga, Rasa’s Gold Dust techniques share the same name as his son’s techniques in video games.
- As revealed in the Gaara Hiden, Rasa’s direct bloodline is highly valued in Suna. When his daughter married Konoha shinobi Shikamaru Nara, the Suna Council demanded his sons take brides and start families as they feared losing Rasa's direct bloodline to Konoha.
Quotes[]
- (To Gaara) “You’ve truly grown Gaara…The only thing a parent needs to do, is trust in their children. That’s all…And that in itself has true value.”[2]
- (To Gaara) “It appears that I didn’t have an eye for value after all. The sand will always protect you…It’s not Shukaku’s strength that you wield, but your mother Karura’s. Your mother truly loved you.”[3]
- (To Gaara about Karura) "Your mother was truly strong… Even in death, she continues to believe in you and protect you… That's what helped you bring you to where you are today."[4]
- (To Gaara about his shortcomings) “Now that you’ve become Kazekage…And you’ve made real friends…and you have real connections with people. Those are all the things I stole.…But I, your father, never did a thing for you.…No…I couldn’t even call myself your father…”[5]
- (To Gaara before he is sealed) “More than I ever could have hoped. You’ve surpassed me…I entrust the village to you now…Gaara…”[6]
