The titular character of the series is Naruto Uzumaki, an energetic ninja of Konohagakure who wishes to become Hokage, the leader of Konohagakure. During the early part of the series, he is assigned to Team 7, in which he meets Sasuke Uchiha, a taciturn and highly skilled "genius" of the Uchiha clan; Sakura Haruno, whom is infatuated with Sasuke yet has Naruto's affection; and Kakashi Hatake, the quiet and mysterious leader of the team. Over the course of the series, Naruto interacts with and befriends several of his fellow ninja in Konohagakure, and from other villages.

While developing the series, Kishimoto initially created the three primary characters as a base for the designs of the other three-man teams in the series.[1] He also utilized characters in other shōnen manga as references in his design of the characters, a decision that was criticized by several anime and manga publications.[2][3] Despite this, the characters were praised for incorporating many of the better aspects of previous shōnen characters, although many publications lamented the perceived lack of growing out of such stereotypes.[4][5] The visual presentation of the characters was commented on by reviewers, with praise and criticism given to Kishimoto's work in the manga and the anime adaptation.[6][3] Bleach , a well-known example of ShÅnen manga This article is about the shÅnen style of anime and manga. ...
Creation and conception When originally creating the Naruto series, Masashi Kishimoto looked to other shōnen manga as influences for his work, although he attempted to make his characters as unique as possible.[2] Kishimoto cites Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball series as one of these influences, noting that Son Goku, the protagonist of Dragon Ball, was a key factor when creating Naruto Uzumaki, the titular character of the Naruto manga, due to their energetic and mischievous personalities.[7] To complement Naruto, Kishimoto worked on creating a rival that was a "cool genius," as he believed that this was "the archetypal rival character." After reviewing different manga for ideas, he ultimately developed Sasuke Uchiha. When making the primary heroine, Kishimoto has admitted that, "I don't have a definite image of what a heroine should be." Nevertheless, he created Sakura Haruno, emphasizing "her energy and flirtatious spirit" as her primary characteristics. These three characters would be the mold for the other three main teams that most of the major Naruto characters are situated in.[1] Masashi Kishimoto , born November 8, 1974) is the Japanese manga artist, most well known for creating the manga series Naruto. ...

The separation of the characters into different teams was intended to give each group a specific flavor. Kishimoto wished for each member to be "extreme," having a high amount of aptitude in one given attribute yet be talentless in another. This approach was used to make each team perform best when the team members worked with one another and overcame their differences. Having watched tokusatsu dramas as a child, Kishimoto wished for his teams to be different from the superhero teams in these dramas, dismissing the value of a team in which all the teammates were "strong to the point of perfection." Kishimoto notes that the different roles the characters assume is similar to many role-playing games, and that "each character stands out better that way."[8] Icons of tokusatsu in the late 1970s: Spider-Man, Kamen Rider Stronger, Kamen Rider V3, Battle Fever J, Ultraman Jonias, as well as the manga and anime icon Doraemon Tokusatsu ) is a Japanese word that literally means special effects. ...

The insertion of villains into the story was largely to have them act as a counterpoint to the characters' moral values. Kishimoto has admitted that this focus on illustrating the difference in values is central to to his creation of villains to the point that, "I don't really think about them in combat." The villains' appearances were also emphasized in order to differentiate them from the characters, and make it easier for a reader to follow the story and identify the villains, even in heated battle scenes. Kishimoto notes that making the villains "flamboyant" with a "showy costume" is "one of my guiding principles," as well as making them "more memorable."[9]
When drawing the characters, Kishimoto follows a five-step process that he consistently follows: concept and rough sketch, drafting, inking, shading, and coloring. These steps are followed when he is drawing the actual manga and making the color illustrations that commonly adorn the cover of tankōbon, the cover of the Weekly Shōnen Jump, or other media, but the toolkit he utilizes occasionally changes.[10] For instance, he utilized an airbrush for one illustration for a Weekly Shōnen Jump cover, but decided not to use it for future drawings largely due to the cleanup required.[11] TankÅbon ) is the Japanese term for a compilation volume of a particular series (such as a manga or a novel series, magazine articles, essays, craft patterns, etc. ...

Naruto Uzumaki -
Main article: Naruto Uzumaki Naruto Uzumaki (うずまき ナルト, Uzumaki Naruto?) is the primary protagonist of the Naruto series. He was the first character created by Kishimoto during his initial conception of the series, and was designed with many traits from other shōnen characters, including Son Goku of the Dragon Ball series.[7] In the series, Naruto is a ninja affiliated with the village of Konohagakure, and has ambitions of becoming Hokage, or the leader of the village. Due to being the host for the nine-tailed demon fox, a malevolent creature that attacked Konohagakure, he is ostracized by the other villagers.[13] He compensates for this with his cheerful and boisterous personality, and over the course of the series, manages to befriend several other Konohagakure ninja, as well as ninja from other villages. He obtains an especially close relationship with Sasuke Uchiha, one of his fellow ninja in Team 7, and treats him as his brother.[14] In the original Japanese anime, Naruto is voiced by Junko Takeuchi,[15] and his English voice actor is Maile Flanagan.[16] Naruto Uzumaki ) is a fictional character in the anime and manga series Naruto created by Masashi Kishimoto and the main protagonist of the franchise. ...

Sasuke Uchiha -
Main article: Sasuke Uchiha Sasuke Uchiha (うちは サスケ, Uchiha Sasuke?) is one of the members of Team 7. He was created by Kishimoto to be a rival to Naruto, as well as a "cool genius," which Kishimoto believed was an integral part of an ideal rivalry.[1] He is one of the few remaining members of the Uchiha clan, his brother, Itachi Uchiha, having killed the rest of their family.[17] Due to this, Sasuke's sole desire is to kill his brother, and he develops a cold and withdrawn personality.[18] His interactions with his fellow teammates, especially Naruto Uzumaki, make him focus less on revenge, but an encounter with his brother, who leaves Sasuke beaten physically and mentally, causes Sasuke to leave the village to seek more power from the criminal Orochimaru.[19] His teammates' attempts to recover him from Orochimaru form a major component of the plot in Part II of the Naruto storyline. In the Japanese anime, Sasuke's seiyū is Noriaki Sugiyama,[20] and his English voice actor is Yuri Lowenthal.[21] Sasuke Uchiha ) is a fictional character in the Naruto universe created by Masashi Kishimoto and developed into a media franchise, consisting of a series of manga, anime, soundtracks, OVAs, movies, video games, and other collectibles. ...

Sakura Haruno -
Main article: Sakura Haruno Sakura Haruno (春野 サクラ, Haruno Sakura?) is the sole female member of Team 7. Kishimoto created her as the heroine of the series, although he has admitted that he has little perception of what an ideal heroine should be.[1] As a child, Sakura was taunted by other children for her particularly large forehead, a feature Kishimoto has tried to emphasize in Sakura's appearances,[22] but was comforted by Ino Yamanaka. As the two continued to grow, however, they became increasingly distant due to their shared affection for Sasuke Uchiha. During most of Part I, Sakura is infatuated with Sasuke, and spurns the advances of Naruto Uzumaki.[23] After Sasuke leaves the village, she resolves to become stronger by training with Tsunade.[24] In Part II, she displays highly developed skills from her training, and a more open disposition towards Naruto.[25][26] In the Japanese anime, her seiyū is Chie Nakamura,[27] and she is voiced by Kate Higgins in the English adaptation of the anime.[28] This article is about the Naruto character. ...

Kakashi Hatake -
Main article: Kakashi Hatake Kakashi Hatake (はたけ カカシ, Hatake Kakashi?) is the leader of Team 7 and the sensei of Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. Kishimoto originally had intended for Kakashi to be introduced earlier in the series, and created him as an easygoing person that would be able to keep the members of Team 7 in check.[8] Kakashi treats his leadership position with a detached manner, and is consistently late to meetings as a result.[29] In a gaiden on Kakashi's past, this is shown to be the result of an incident in which he witnessed the death of one of his teammates, Obito Uchiha, who gave Kakashi his Sharingan eye and imparted many of his habits, including his tardiness.[30] Due to Obito's Sharingan, Kakashi has amassed a reputation as a skilled and powerful ninja, earning the moniker "Copy Ninja Kakashi" (コピー忍者のカカシ, Kopī Ninja no Kakashi?).[31] Although he mentors all three members of Team 7 early in the series, he particularly concentrates on training Sasuke as the series continues, teaching him his Chidori technique;[32] however, he is unable to prevent Sasuke from leaving the village to seek Orochimaru for greater power.[33] Kakashi is voiced by Kazuhiko Inoue in the Japanese anime,[34] and his English voice actor is Dave Wittenberg.[35] Kakashi Hatake ) is a fictional character in the Naruto universe created by Masashi Kishimoto and developed into a media franchise, consisting of a series of manga, anime, soundtracks, OVAs, movies, video games, and other collectibles. ...

Sai Sai (サイ, Sai?) is introduced during Part II of the series as a replacement for Sasuke Uchiha.[12] Having been a member of Root since he was a child, Sai has been trained to not possess or desire any type of emotion or camaraderie. After spending time with Naruto Uzumaki, however, he begins to crave bonds with other people, which has since become his primary role in the series.[36] Sai's attempts to form bonds involve giving pet names to others; however, he often says what he actually thinks of a person, resulting him choosing names such as "fatso" and "ugly." He eventually learns from his mistakes and attempts the opposite approach, as evidenced when he calls Ino Yamanaka "gorgeous."[37] When not making an attempt to bond with others, Sai spends his time painting and drawing, and has produced thousands of works.[38] His artistic talents extend to his choice of attacks in battles: anything he paints on a scroll that he carries with him comes to life; he most commonly utilizes various animals.[39] Sai is voiced by Satoshi Hino in the Naruto: Shippūden anime.[40] The Naruto universe is an unnamed fictional universe in the anime and manga series Naruto created by Masashi Kishimoto. ...

Yamato Yamato (ヤマト, Yamato?) is introduced during Part II of the series as a temporary replacement for Kakashi Hatake.[12] After Kakashi's return, he stays on the team in an additional leadership position. Though "Yamato" is a codename assigned to him for the purposes of joining Team 7, he prefers it as opposed to his real name, Tenzo (テンゾウ, Tenzō?).[41] During his infancy, Yamato was abducted by Orochimaru and experimented upon in an attempt to replicate the First Hokage's unique abilities. Orochimaru was forced to flee Konohagakure before he could complete his testing, and thus never knew that Yamato had successfully obtained the First's Mokuton techniques.[42] When using Mokuton techniques, Yamato can form anything out of wood at will, and is not above using this ability for making creature comforts like two-story houses to "camp out" in.[38] Mokuton also allows Yamato to suppress a tailed beast's influence over its host. This is the primary reason he is assigned to Team 7, as he can stop Naruto Uzumaki if the nine-tailed demon fox within him gets out of control.[42] In the Naruto: Shippūden anime, Yamato's seiyū is Rikiya Koyama.[43] This is a list of minor characters in the anime and manga series Naruto. ...

Kiba Inuzuka Kiba Inuzuka (犬塚 キバ, Inuzuka Kiba?) is a member of Team 8 characterized by a number of dog-like traits, including being very protective of his teammates and enjoying any food that he can chew on.[45] Most apparent of his connection to dogs is the constant presence of his ninja dog (忍犬, ninken?), Akamaru. Kiba is fiercely loyal to Akamaru, being unwilling to abandon him and will readily put himself in harm's way for Akamaru's sake.[46] In exchange for Kiba's devotion, Akamaru fights with him in battle; he uses his heightened senses to Kiba's advantage, and helps to double team opponents with volleys of physical attacks. Since Akamaru is naturally better equipped for combat, Kiba usually modifies his abilities at the start of a battle, growing claws and traveling with his arms and legs to increase his speed.[47] He can also drastically increase his sense of smell, and by the second half of the series he can use it to track things down that actual dogs cannot.[48] Kiba's seiyū in the Japanese anime is Kōsuke Toriumi,[49] and his English voice actor is Kyle Hebert.[50] KÅsuke Toriumi , born on May 16, 1973 in Chigasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture) is a seiyÅ« employed by Arts Vision. ...

Akamaru Akamaru (赤丸, Akamaru?) is Kiba Inuzuka's ninja dog (忍犬, ninken?), best friend, and constant companion. At the start of the series, Kiba carries Akamaru around on his head or inside his jacket. By Part II of the Naruto storyline, Akamaru grows large enough for Kiba to ride atop his back, but since Kiba spends so much time with Akamaru, he fails to notice this drastic difference.[51] With his heightened sense of smell, hearing, and the ability to detect others' chakra levels, Akamaru acts as a valuable tool for Kiba in hostile situations.[52] To help Kiba keep track of opponents, Akamaru can urinate on them, giving them a strong odor that can easily be tracked. In battle, however, he relies on Kiba to provide the chakra for the combination jutsu they execute.[53] In the original Japanese anime, Akamaru is voiced by Junko Takeuchi, who is also the seiyū for Naruto Uzumaki,[15] and Kōsuke Toriumi, who voices Kiba, when Akamaru transforms into a human state.[49] In the English adaptation of the anime, he is voiced by Jamie Simone,[54] but when Akamaru transforms, he is voiced by Kyle Hebert, who additionally acts as Kiba's voice actor.[50] In the anime and manga series Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto a jutsu technique or skill) is a general term referring to any technique a ninja might use that an ordinary human would likely be unable to naturally imitate. ...

Shino Aburame Shino Aburame (油女 シノ, Aburame Shino?) is one of the members of Team 8 and is fascinated with insects; he spends his free time capturing and studying insects and often uses them as analogies during conversation.[55] A deep connection with insects runs in Shino's family, as each person born in to the Aburame clan is infused with a special breed of insects known as destruction bugs during birth. In exchange for using Shino as a hive, the bugs do as he commands.[56] During a battle, Shino directs his bugs towards an opponent, boxing them in without their knowledge, and absorbing their chakra once they have been surrounded.[57] Shino's merciless tendencies in regards to opponents as well as his attachment to insects have caused other characters to label him as "creepy."[56] Nevertheless, Shino cares deeply for his teammates, acutely aware of their inner workings and always regretting when he is unable to help them.[58] In the Japanese anime, he is voiced by Shinji Kawada.[59] His first voice actor in the English anime was Sam Riegal, who voiced Shino in episodes twenty-three and twenty-four,[60] but in all following appearances, he has been voiced by Derek Stephen Prince.[61] In the anime and manga series Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto a jutsu technique or skill) is a general term referring to any technique a ninja might use that an ordinary human would likely be unable to naturally imitate. ...

Hinata Hyuga Hinata Hyuga (日向 ヒナタ, Hyūga Hinata?) is a member of Team 8 who suffers from a lack of self-confidence throughout the series. She is always reluctant to speak her mind or to do something that might antagonize another character, causing her difficulties whenever she is on a mission.[62] This results in her effective expulsion from her clan; although she is the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan's leader and the heiress to the clan, Hinata's inability to stand up for herself caused her father to disown her at a young age, leaving her in the care of her teacher, Kurenai Yuhi.[63] Series creator Masashi Kishimoto had not originally intended to have Hinata be a ninja, but intended for her to be a regular member of the Hyuga clan.[64] Midway through the Chunin Exam arc, Hinata begins training to become stronger, both to overcome her own weaknesses and to prove her worth to her father. Her efforts begin to prove successful towards the end of Part I, as her father takes a greater interest in her training.[65] The Naruto universe is an unnamed fictional universe in the anime and manga series Naruto created by Masashi Kishimoto. ...

Though Hinata's training has in large part been to prove herself, she also trains to try and win the attention of series protagonist Naruto Uzumaki. Inspired by Naruto's confidence and determination, Hinata becomes infatuated with Naruto, to the extent that she immediately blushes or faints upon seeing him; however, as the series progresses, she goes out of her way to help him.[62][66] While Hinata has yet to openly admit her feelings for him, most characters (except for Naruto, who only considers her blushing "weird") are aware of her feelings.[67] In the anime, Hinata's attempts to impress Naruto result in her creation of a new ability capable of instantly blocking or attacking anything in her extended field of vision through slicing it with extremely fine chakra blades.[68] Her seiyū in the Japanese anime is Nana Mizuki,[69] and her English voice actor is Stephanie Sheh.[70] Naruto Uzumaki ) is a fictional character in the anime and manga series Naruto created by Masashi Kishimoto and the main protagonist of the franchise. ...

Kurenai Yuhi Kurenai Yuhi (夕日 紅, Yūhi Kurenai?) is the leader of Team 8. Of all her students, Kurenai is closest with Hinata, acting as a surrogate parent in the absence of Hinata's father, and helping Hinata overcome her weaknesses.[63] Whenever Kurenai appears in the series, she is almost always accompanied by Asuma Sarutobi. Because of this, many of the other characters assume the two to be a couple, though they both deny this, and try to change the subject whenever it is brought up.[71] During Part II of the series, Kurenai is revealed to be pregnant with Asuma's child, making their relationship clear.[72] In battle she specializes in genjutsu, and is shown to be particularly skilled with illusions involving plants.[73] In the Japanese anime, her seiyū is Rumi Ochiai.[74] In the English adaptation of the anime, she was voiced by Saffron Henderson in episode three, and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn in all subsequent appearances.[75][76] In the anime and manga series Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto a jutsu technique or skill) is a general term referring to any technique a ninja might use that an ordinary human would likely be unable to naturally imitate. ...

Choji Akimichi Choji Akimichi (秋道 チョウジ, Akimichi Chōji?) is a member of Team 10 typified by his deep love for food, to the extent that he continually has some sort of snack with him during his appearances in the series. Though his habit of always eating gives him a relatively large appearance, Choji insists that he is not fat, instead using explanations like being "big-boned." If someone refers to him as fat, Choji instantly becomes hostile, and his resolve to battle grows stronger.[79] Shikamaru Nara has never found an issue with Choji's weight, instead choosing to look upon Choji's inner strength. Because of this, Choji regards him as his best friend, stating on one occasion that he would willingly give his life to defend Shikamaru.[80] In battle, Choji can increase the size of his entire body or specific parts of his body to improve the amount of damage his strikes deal upon impact.[81] His seiyū in the Japanese anime is Kentaro Ito,[82] and his English voice actor is Robbie Rist.[83] Shikamaru Nara ) is a fictional character in the anime and manga series Naruto created by Masashi Kishimoto. ...

Shikamaru Nara -
Main article: Shikamaru Nara Shikamaru Nara (奈良 シカマル, Nara Shikamaru?) is one of the members of Team 10. Kishimoto has noted that he "likes" Shikamaru due to his easygoing nature despite being a genius, and contrasted him against Sasuke Uchiha's intelligent but abrasive personality.[7] Shikamaru's intelligence is such that Asuma Sarutobi, Team 10's leader, has never been able to defeat Shikamaru at games such as shogi or go, and he can devise complex strategies even in the heat of battle. Despite his intelligence, his laziness and unwillingness to work frequently prevent him from applying his intelligence.[84] Shikamaru is longtime friends with Choji Akimichi, his fellow Team 10 member, as he chose to look upon Choji as a person rather than only considering his large girth.[80] In battle, Shikamaru can manipulate his shadow, and by extending it into another person's shadow, can force the target to mimic his movements. In the Japanese anime, Shikamaru is voiced by Showtaro Morikubo,[85] although Nobutoshi Canna acted as a stand-in for Morikubo in episode 141.[86] His English voice actor is Tom Gibis.[87] Shikamaru Nara ) is a fictional character in the anime and manga series Naruto created by Masashi Kishimoto. ...

Ino Yamanaka Ino Yamanaka (山中 いの, Yamanaka Ino?) is the only female member of Team 10. She has known Sakura Haruno since they were children, befriending and helping her to develop her own identity.[88] When they discovered that they both liked the same boy, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura ended their friendship so they could properly compete for his affection.[89] The two eventually make amends and rekindle their friendship, but they still maintain a competitive attitude towards each other.[90] In the anime, when Sakura begins to excel in healing techniques, Ino becomes her surrogate apprentice, hoping to be more useful to her friends and teammates as an able medical ninja.[91] In terms of combat abilities, Ino specializes in mind-altering techniques. To use these techniques, Ino transfers her consciousness to her target's mind, gaining control over their body, which she can then use to attack their allies uninhibited.[92] In the Japanese anime, she is voiced by Ryōka Yuzuki,[93] and her English voice actor is Colleen O'Shaughnessey.[94] This article is about the Naruto character. ...

Asuma Sarutobi Asuma Sarutobi (猿飛 アスマ, Sarutobi Asuma?) is the leader of Team 10 and the son of the Third Hokage. He had a falling out with his father when he was younger, and briefly left Konohagakure in protest. The two had not completely reconciled by the time of the Third's death.[95] Asuma is usually seen smoking a cigarette, but will temporarily drop the habit when something is bothering him, such as when his father died.[96] Among all his students, Asuma shares a particularly close relationship with Shikamaru Nara, and the two frequently play shogi or go together; however, Asuma has never been able to win any of these matches due to Shikamaru's intelligence.[84] This is a list of minor characters in the anime and manga series Naruto. ...

Asuma frequently appears alongside Kurenai Yuhi, leading many characters to assume the two are a couple. Both deny this, and they promptly try to change the subject whenever it is brought up.[71] During Part II of the series, however, Kurenai is revealed to be pregnant with Asuma's child.[72] In battle, Asuma wields unique brass knuckles equipped with blades that can be infused with his chakra.[97] When infused with his wind-based chakra, Asuma can extend the blades to sword-like length and easily pierce through rock.[98] After Asuma is killed by Hidan, a member of the criminal organization Akatsuki,[99] these brass knuckles fall into Shikamaru's possession, and he uses them to defeat Hidan and avenge Asuma.[100] Asuma's seiyū in the Japanese anime is Jūrōta Kosugi,[101] and he is voiced by Doug Erholtz in the English adaptation of the anime.[102] Categories: Weapon stubs | M e weapons ...

Team Guy Team Guy is a group of Konohagakure ninja led by Might Guy. The members of Team Guy primarily concentrate on taijutsu and weapons due to Guy's influence, and are a year older than the members of the other Konohagakure teams due to Guy waiting a year before they could take the test to advance in ninja rank and become chunin. In Part II, the Team Guy joins Team 7 in attempting to save Gaara from the criminal organization Akatsuki.[103] In the anime and manga series Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto a jutsu technique or skill) is a general term referring to any technique a ninja might use that an ordinary human would likely be unable to naturally imitate. ...

Rock Lee Rock Lee (ロック・リー, Rokku Rī?) is a member of Team Guy and the favorite student of team leader Might Guy. As such, Guy spends much of his free time training with Lee, resulting in Lee adopting several of Guy's habits, including his unwillingness to give up and an unyielding optimism that he can complete a given task.[104] When first introduced during the Chunin Exam arc, Lee tries to put this optimism to use in completing two goals: to defeat a "genius" such as Neji Hyuga[105] and to make Sakura Haruno his girlfriend.[106] While Lee puts a great deal of effort into each goal throughout the arc, his later appearances see little to no attempts to make either a reality. Independent of Guy's influence, Lee speaks very politely to other characters. In the Japanese anime and manga, he always utilizes honorifics such as "san and "kun"; in the English adaptations, he never uses contractions. He also refuses to hold a grudge or treat an opponent unfairly, always making it a point to show them great respect.[107] This is a list of episodes of the Naruto anime series, covering the first two seasons of the series. ...

Because of a defect that leaves him unable to control his chakra output, Lee is unable to perform many basic ninja techniques. Though this handicap would ordinarily mean giving up life as a ninja, Lee's dream is to become a respected ninja by using only taijutsu, or physical attacks.[104] To help Lee achieve this goal, Guy has done all in his power to train Lee, giving him arduous training regiments to increase his strength and speed. As such, Lee constantly wears ankle weights that when removed, cause his already impressive speed to drastically increase.[108] Guy has also taught him a number of powerful, even forbidden techniques; because some of these techniques, such as the ability to open the eight chakra gates, can pose a severe risk to Lee's body, he is only permitted to use them to protect something or someone dear to him.[109] He is voiced by Yoichi Masukawa in the original Japanese anime,[110] and his English voice actor is Brian Donovan.[111] In the anime and manga series Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto a jutsu technique or skill) is a general term referring to any technique a ninja might use that an ordinary human would likely be unable to naturally imitate. ...

Neji Hyuga Neji Hyuga (日向 ネジ, Hyūga Neji?) is a member of Team Guy and a child prodigy of the Hyuga clan. Despite his natural talent, Neji's membership in one of the clan's lower houses leaves him ineligible to learn the clan's most secret techniques.[112] At the start of the series Neji openly hates the main house because of this, readily attacking its members verbally or physically when given the chance. At this point in the series Neji is plagued by fatalistic philosophy: that one's destiny is inescapable and that a weak person will always be weak.[63] After being defeated in battle by Naruto Uzumaki, a character that has time and again proven his "destiny" wrong by getting stronger, Neji has a change of heart.[113] He abandons the idea of a predetermined fate, and resolves to get strong enough to never lose a battle.[114] He also tries to remedy the estranged relations between himself and the members of the main house, resulting in his training with the leader of the main house at the end of Part I.[65] The Naruto universe is an unnamed fictional universe in the anime and manga series Naruto created by Masashi Kishimoto. ...

Neji displays his title as a prodigy of the Hyuga throughout the series; when first introduced he is highly proficient with the Gentle Fist style of combat, with which he can directly attack an opponent's internal systems.[115] Though never having been trained in the form, Neji has been able to replicate it and its most powerful attacks through simple observation.[112] As the series progresses Neji refines these abilities into more powerful counterparts, either to increase their potency or to fix an inherent flaw.[114] One such example is his Byakugan, an eye technique that by default grants the owner a near-360-degree field of vision within a fifty meter radius.[116] Though extremely useful as it is, Neji constantly trains to overcome a small blindspot and to increase the Byakugan's range of sight.[114] In the Japanese anime, his seiyū is Kōichi Tōchika,[117] and when he is featured as a child, he is voiced by Keiko Nemoto.[118] His voice in the English anime is provided by Steve Staley,[119] and Wendee Lee provides his child voice.[120] In the anime and manga series Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto a jutsu technique or skill) is a general term referring to any technique a ninja might use that an ordinary human would likely be unable to naturally imitate. ...

Tenten Tenten (テンテン, Tenten?) is the only female member of Team Guy, and longs to prove that female ninja can be just as skilled as male ninja. Of all the Naruto protagonists, Tenten receives the least amount of screen time, such that her only fight in Part I is almost entirely skipped; the battle's start and her eventual defeat are the only portions shown.[90] Despite her lack of appearances, series creator Masashi Kishimoto favors her design more than those of any of the other female characters he has created.[121] In battle, Tenten specializes in weaponry, ranging from projectiles to close-combat weapons and even explosives by the second part of the series.[122] During a fight, she can overwhelm opponents by summoning hundreds of weapons and bombarding them with pinpoint accuracy. Tenten uses this expertise to help Neji Hyuga train his defensive techniques, and she holds him in high regard since he can always block her attacks.[123] Her Japanese seiyū is Yukari Tamura,[124] and her English voice actor is Danielle Judovits.[125] In the anime and manga series Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto a jutsu technique or skill) is a general term referring to any technique a ninja might use that an ordinary human would likely be unable to naturally imitate. ...

Might Guy "Maito Gai" redirects here. For the Japanese actor nicknamed "Maito Gai", see Akira Kobayashi. Might Guy (マイト・ガイ, Maito Gai?) is the leader of Team Guy, though he dedicates most of his time to only one of his students, Rock Lee. Because of Guy's dedication to him, Lee has modeled himself in his master's image, mimicking Guy's distinctive green jumpsuit and shiny bowl haircut (having already had Guy's characteristic thick eyebrows).[105] Lee has also adopted Guy's "nice guy pose", a thumbs up, wink, and smile (complete with teeth so white they give the proverbial "ping"), used to act as their highest form of a promise. Guy lives by his own "My Rules" philosophy, which involves setting tough self-imposed penalties for failure in the belief that the punishment will make him stronger.[126] Series creator Masashi Kishimoto likens Guy's passionate personality to that of a gym teacher he had in junior high school, though the teacher was not a model for Guy's character. Kishimoto goes on to say that he probably wouldn't get along with Guy, as Guy is too inten |
