Team Matsuri
CharacterTeam Matsuri is a Sunagakure genin cell whose paperwork Gaara reviews before endorsing entrants for the joint Chunin Exams with Konoha. Made up of Matsuri, Yukata, and Mikoshi, the squad reaches the exam's second stage yet falls short of advancing any further.
Overview
This genin group comes from Sunagakure, the village hidden in the sand. Its lineup consists of Matsuri, Yukata, and Mikoshi. Fittingly, every member takes a name from a traditional Japanese festival.
Role
Before Gaara put forward his recommendations for the Chunin Exams run jointly with Konohagakure, he briefly looked over the team's records. The squad went on to reach the exam's second portion, but its run stalled there, as the members never managed to secure the scroll they needed to press on.
Notable Members
Matsuri fronts the team and gives it her name. Yukata and Mikoshi serve as her two fellow genin.
