Dosu Kinuta is one of the three Genin from the Otogakure (along with Kin and Zaku) who entered the Chūnin exam not for becoming a Chūnin, but rather as a part of a mission from Orochimaru to assassinate Uchiha Sasuke (which in a twist turns out to merely be a mission of testing Sasuke's strength, having obtained Orochimaru's cursed seal). Dosu was equipped with a special speaker tied to his wrist] which served to amplify sound waves and dramatically strengthen his sound-based attacks.

Orochimaru treated him as largely a pawn, even though he was a quite powerful ninja. Dosu's undoing, however, was his own attempt to kill Sabaku no Gaara in order to remove him from the Chūnin exam, not realising the monstrosity he was actually going up against. His death was quick and unceremonious.

Trivia

"Dosu" is onomatopoeia for the sound of a sword piercing flesh.
