The same reason why Jiraiya has wine/beer on his forehead protector? He loves his alcohol and women!

The answer to your question? I dunno why.

raikage · 2003-12-04, 12:09

Love of killing, I suppose...

Or maybe he has a warm heart and wants to share his love with the world...awww...

"Demon who loves only himself.." Ok I let the guru-ones enlighten you better.

Pansta · 2003-12-04, 12:48

When his aunt tried to kill him she told him how his mother had named him Gaara because she wanted him to love only himself and stay alive at all costs. When Gaara killed his aunt he finally went psycho and wrote the Kanji on his head and thus we have our present and psychotic Gaara that we all know and love.

im not sure... but in chinese... the word on Jiraiya's forehead protector is actually the character for OIL

haha

The character on Gaara's forehead means love... the love he lost/never had...

Fei-san · 2003-12-04, 12:52

I think his name stands for "The demon who loves himself" or maybe that was his tatoo

Wasn't it uncle?

pathyfinder · 2003-12-04, 15:45

it's there so people can ask "why do you have that" and Gaara replies "give me a hug and then you will know" and then Poof the sand kills them *evil laugh*

Fast as light24 · 2003-12-04, 17:35

wow pathyfinder, thats a really crazy rendition of an assassination.......

Vicious · 2003-12-04, 19:28

Gaara loves only himself. He don't trust anyone, he didn't got love from anyone in his whole life till now. Thus, that's the origin of the love kanji on his forehead.

Elysium · 2003-12-04, 19:45

Guys, I hate to break it to you, but the kanji on his head doesn't read "love." It actually says "I had sex with your mother last night," a sort of taunt to the opponent even before Gaara needs to say anything. This, consequently, is intended to drive enemies into blindly attacking him to uphold the reputation of their respective mothers, getting themselves killed by the sand in the process. It also has a curse embedded in it such that any man who so much as looks at it is driven to a point of rage, where the only thing they'd wish is to stop Gaara from taunting them about their mother and the afforementioned Gaara engaging in intercourse with her in the pervious evening past.

The more you know!

Yashamaru was his uncle, -maru = man (i think) therefore Yashamaru = Yashaman, Akamaru = Redman, Shikmaru = Shikaman, Maru is only after men's names
