Amane Kurisu (牧瀬紅莉栖) is a young sensor-type kunoichi from Sunagakure. She is known throughout Sunagakure for her amazing intelligence, with an Intelligence Quotient score of just over 158, literally making her a 'genius'. Even as an academy student, she was noticed to have had an 'above average' intelligence, which eventually led to her skipping the Academy completely, and becoming a Genin at a younger age, whilst being privately tutored by Chūnin. Despite her advanced intellect, Kurisu is a very shy and modest girl, who denies compliments without thinking. She is socially awkward, usually finding it difficult to talk to people she doesn't know in a friendly manor. Oddly, Kurisu is a very clumsy and reckless girl, often breaking things and embarrassing herself over the slightest of things. Ignoring her clumsiness, Kurisu is a very stubborn girl. Even during losing an argument, she will continue to support her initial point, and rarely changes her opinion on things. She also seems to be scared of the possibility that her peers are perverts, so much so that she often runs away in fear of men, and often refers to them with the nickname 'Hentai-kun'.

(センサー, Kanchi taipu ): (lit.'Perception Type'): Being a sensor-nin, Kurisu has a natural gift for Chakra Sensory. She is able to use the Chakra Sensory expertly. A skilled sensor can detect their targets from a great distance, as well as differentiate the characters by their chakra signature alone. Kurisu has trained the Chakra Sensing technique so much that she can utilize it without the use of handseals.
(体術, Taijutsu): (lit.'Body Techniques'): Though she possesses no Chakra natures, Kurisu is able to utilize Taijutsu as her main fighting style. She is very quick on her feet, and has a surprisingly high amount of strength, which allows her to easily fight against other Shinobi using only hand to hand combat. She is able to utilize 1 of the 8 gates.
[12/06/11]: Kurisu is introduced as a Genin of Sunagakure!
[12/06/11]: Kurisu was in the crossroads when she met one of her squadmates, Tobu, and another Suna-nin named Kassori. They had barely began speaking with the Kazekage joined them and told them to go to the bridge, where they would have a task. Upon arrival, it became obvious what they had to do, fight. About halfway through the three way fight, Kurisu utilized her Chakra with her taijutsu in such a way that it unlocked the first gate, ultimately allowing her to win a few hard blowso n the others. After the fight was over, the Kazekage used his crystal release to create a giant maze, where he hid, and the first two to find him would win dinner. Easily enough for Kurisu, who simply used her Sensory to find him. After they had all found him, he announced that they had failed due to the lack of teamwork, and told them that teamwork is key for everything, to Kurisu's dissapointment.
