Yes and No at the same time. Gaara has the Shukaku when he is a little boy. But when we get to the Shippuden episodes he soon loses his Shukaku and is brought back to life by Grandma Chiyo. Even though he doesn't have his Shukaku he is still able to be Kazekage and control sand. (i answered this question because i know almost everything about Gaara. I'm not obsessed but i love him ALOT!)

^to add a little bit more for those of you who are wondering. Shukaku did NOT give Gaara the power to control sand. That is a common misconception. Shukaku gave Gaara "ultimate protection". Basically Shukaku amplified Gaara's sand by controlling it himself, thus allowing the sand to protect Gaara even when Gaara did not wish it. Gaara's ninjutsu though is the ability to control sand. Now that Shukaku is gone though, Gaara has to use ninja signs in order to control his jutsu, instead of relying on Shukaku to kick butt for him xD
Non-the-less Gaara is still my second favourite character. The only person i like more that Gaara is Hidan xD

haha hidan. he's kinda lame. he's so emo. XD gaara's favorite. then kakashi. so yeah gaara still has his sand powers but now he can 'feel pain'. because before the shukaku wouldn't let him get hurt.
No he doesn'tNo, he is no longer a Jinchuuriki, however he still has the power to control sand and still has a few of the Shukaku abilities such as the 'Play Possum Jutsu' however performing this jutsu temporarily puts him to sleep. It is unknown how much he was affected by the removal of the Shukaku.
No gaara isn't the host after 31 of shippuden because they already extracted the shukaku from from him in the earlier episodes of shippuden.
Gaara had Shukaku, the one-tailed tanuki. That's before Akatsuki took it from him.
The episode when the Shukaku was ripped out of Gaara was started in episode 10 of Naruto Shippuden and the final scene of the extraction of the Shukaku was in episode 17, I believe.
Ichibi no Shukaku is gaara's tailed beast which is sealed in him
I am pretty sure granny chiyo sealed the shukaku in gaara

Yes, being the Shukaku's host. If he were to ever fall asleep, the Shukaku will eat away at him while he sleeps, giving the Shukaku full control over Gaara. This is the cause of Gaara's black rings under his eyes, a trait that he had since birth.
no
shukaku the one tailed beast
Yeah..he can......but still the dark patch around his eyes still renail dark though........
Gaara has black rings around his eyes because he has chronic insomnia. Gaara wont sleep because he is afraid of Shukaku (demon possessing Gaara) to completely take over him when hes asleep.

No, its actually from sleep deprivation due to the fact that Shukaku eats away at his personality/soul when he sleeps. He still has them even after Shukaku is extracted, though so he must still have trouble sleeping.
He never sleeps. Gaara has chronic insomnia because he is afraid of Shukaku completely possesing him.
