From what I can remember, the manga has shown or at least referred to the
family of most if not all of the Rookie Nine, as well as most of the other
major characters in Naruto. However, I don't remember reading anything about
Rock Lee's family, and I can't find anything on the Naruto Wiki. Has any
information been given about his family (parents, clan, etc.)?

naruto
Is anything known about Rock Lee's family?


Okay, per "Madara's" request, due to speculation and interpretation of how
things have gone in Naruto so far. It really feels as so that Lee is really
reliant to Gai to the point of seeing him as a guardian, or even a father.
Notice how even his own parents did not help to comfort him after his failure
at genjutsu and ninjutsu broke him down in tears. Maybe they're just really
negligent towards him, but on the other hand, there was a war 12(Naruto part
1) - 17(Shippuuden) years ago, involving the Kyuubi. Now we know there were
many casualties, such as Minato, Iruka's parents, etc. So therefore, it is
possible, if not overall probable that his parents were in the war as well.
This was different from most of the other wars, as it was on the home front,
rather than invading another country. Therefore, the entire village would be
in a total war situation, where every capable villager would be drafted to
fight; knowledge of ninja skills irrelevant. For all we know, they could've
been basic villagers who just sell fish for a living and they just so happened
to get killed by the Kyuubi on its rampage. And then Lee being at most 1 years
old, could've taken an oath to avenge his parents' deaths by learning jutsu
(see how well that turned out...). But of course no information has ever been
given about his family, so this is pure speculation.
