Ryūgan

was a ninja from Takumi Village. He, along with the rest of Four Celestial Symbols Men abducted Gaara's student, Matsuri, to get access to Gaara. They planned to use the One-Tailed Shukaku inside of him in order to resurrect Seimei so they could seek revenge against the Five Great Shinobi Villages, who they felt did not appreciate their village.

Ryugan ambushed Gaara and Kankurō which ended with Kankurō challenging him. Ryugan had the advantage and would have killed Kankurō if Chōji and Kiba didn't come out to help with the battle. Ryugan obliterated Kuroari and was ready to do the same with the other puppet, but Kiba had a plan. This plan was that Kiba would charge Ryugan and divert him while Kankurō took the time to repair Kuroari in order to trap Ryugan within it. Kankurō then used the Black Secret Technique Machine One Shot technique. Ryugan's agonizing scream could be heard as his blood was poring out of the doll. Ryugan's Garian sword was later taken by Hoki.
