Naruto Uzumaki; charecter profile
Naruto Uzumaki (うずまき ナルト Uzumaki Naruto?) is a fictional
character in the animeand manga franchise Naruto,
created by Masashi
Kishimoto. The eponymous protagonist of the series, he is a teenage ninja from the fictional village of Konohagakure. The villagers ridicule Naruto
because of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox—a malevolent
creature that attacked Konohagakure—sealed in his body. To be recognized, he
aspires to become the village's leader, the Hokage. His cheerful and boisterous personality
lets him befriend other Konohagakure ninja, as well as ninja from other
villages. Naruto appears in the series' films and in other media related to the
franchise, including video games and original video animations.
When
creating Naruto in the initial part of the series, Kishimoto kept the
character "simple and stupid",[3] while giving him many attributes of an ideal hero.
Kishimoto added a harsh past to give him a side of darkness. Many times he has
revised Naruto's image, providing the character with different clothes to
appeal to Western audiences and make him easier to illustrate. Kishimoto
changed his design for Part II of the storyline, which starts
two-and-a-half years after Part I. Naruto is voiced by Junko
Takeuchi in the
original animated series and Maile
Flanagan in the
English adaptations.
Naruto
has remained popular with the Naruto fan-base, placing high in popularity
polls. Merchandise based on Naruto has been released, including figurines and keychains.
Naruto's character has been praised by anime and manga publications. Although
some saw him as a stereotypical manga and anime protagonist comparable to those
in other shōnenmanga,
they have praised his personality and development as he avoids stereotypes.
