Kubo is the titular character and main protagonist of the Laika's 4th full-length animated feature film Kubo and the Two Strings. The son of the former goddess Satiaru and of the samurai Hanzo of the Beetle Clan, Kubo is persistently hunted down by his grandfather, The Moon King, and his aunts Karasu and Washi, who seek to blind Kubo in order for the boy to "ascend" to godhood, which would also mean Kubo losing his humanity and the emotional attachment that comes with it. Due to this chase, Kubo must gather his father's magical set of armor and defeat his malevolent family, along the way being accompanied by movie's two secondary heroes, the sarcastic Monkey, and amnesiac, but comical, Beetle. He was voiced by Art Parkinson.
