this is what wikipedia has to say.
"onoha ANBU are usually under the direct command of the Hokage, but several years before the start of the series there was an ANBU Training Department known as "Root" (根, Ne?)(Viz Manga "The Foundation"). Root was created and directly controlled by Danzo, who trained and conditioned children intensively from a very young age. This was done to completely eliminate emotions and enable its members to complete missions without being held back. Root tends to go further in its belief that ninja must not show any emotion than most other ninja groups do, as they forbid any members to possess anything that may invoke emotion (though Sai somehow has a book that he claims was for his brother). It was implied that the department might have used methods similar to Kirigakure's graduation exam, including putting students against each other in fights to the death. Because Danzo is a war hawk and opposed the Third Hokage, Root was disbanded. However, many former members are still loyal to Root."
A fictional elite rank in the anime and manga Naruto. The full name is ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai, but shortened to ANBU in the Japanese anime and manga. In the English Anime and Manga, it is called ANBU Black Ops.
its anbu, but he fights at a jounin level
Anbu - short for Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai (暗殺戦術特殊部隊, Special Assassination and Tactical Squad; English Version: ANBU Black Ops), take orders directly from the Kage, performing special high-level missions, such as assassinations and torture. The ANBU usually work in teams formed to the requirements of the mission, ensuring maximum success. The shinobi in the ANBU are hand-picked by the Kage; chosen for their individual capabilities and special skills. Age, gender, background, or previous rank bear no weight in this decision. They wear their mask even in their own village, for their identity as an ANBU agent is to be known only by the Kage and village elders, with the exception of Root members who unless ordered to will otherwise only respond to Danzō.There are apparently no true ranks within the ANBU, unlike within the regular forces. Team leadership and hierarchy seem to be based on merit and experience. The leaders of the teams are called squad leaders (分隊長,Buntaichō), a position held in high regards.
yes i believe they do
They are a rank from Naruto. They conduct secret missions given from the Hokage. They are usually depicted with the Anbu mask.Anbu stands for for ANsatsu Senjutsu Tokushu BUtai which, in english, means "Special Assassination and Tactical Squad"

All the ANBU are equal ranking only except ANBU captain.
Anbu Sagodharargal was created in 1973.
Anbu Thozhi was created in 2007.
He applied for it just as any other ANBU does.
Anbu Thangai was created on 1974-08-30.
..yes and no,because he used to be anbu and no because he is no longer anbu..
because ANBU is the powerful group team in NARUTO.
Anbu black ops are a special unit of shinobi. While Anbu is not technically one of the primary ninja ranks, most Anbu ninja were first jonin before they were recruited into the Anbu black ops. So in a sense, yes, they are generally more powerful than a regular jonin.
The cast of Anbu - 1953 includes: Shivaji Ganesan
