Akamaru (赤丸, Akamaru?) is Kiba Inuzuka's nin-dog (忍犬, ninken?), best friend, and companion. Akamaru's heightened senses, such as smell and hearing, along with Kiba's power to communicate with him, make him a powerful tool for gathering and sharing information; he can also sense chakra with his nose, so he can judge an enemy's strength and warn Kiba if they're particularly powerful. Akamaru and Kiba almost always attack together and often use Beast Human Clone to confuse their opponents. They also develop a very powerful technique during the Sasuke Retrieval arc, called Man Beast Combination Transformation: Double-Headed Wolf, where they literally combine their bodies into a gigantic, white, two-headed wolf that is capable of devastating speed and damage. However, they lose their entire field of vision when using the follow-up technique, Double Wolf Fang. This attack is usually preceded by Dynamic Marking, which allows them to target the enemy via sense of smell.
In Part II, Akamaru has grown several times his original size. Kiba can now ride on his back. When Naruto comments on the rapid growth, Kiba says that he hadn't noticed since he'd been around Akamaru the entire time.
"Aka" means "red". Whenever Akamaru eats a soldier pill, his fur turns red.
