“NARUTO” First Worldwide Character Popularity Poll, No. 1 is Namikaze Minato! New manga to be drawn!
The results of "Naruto Top 99," the first worldwide character popularity poll for "Naruto," have been announced. In conjunction with this announcement, Kishimoto Masashi, the author of the original manga, has released newly drawn illustrations of the top 22 characters. In addition, a new manga focusing on Namikaze Minato, who won the first place, will also be drawn. “NARUTO" is a ninja action manga series by Kishimoto Masashi that was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" from 1999 to 2014 and completed in 72 volumes. The story follows the main character, the ninja Uzumaki Naruto, as he overcomes deadly battles with rivals and past fates in his quest to become the Hokage, the chief of the village of Konohagakure. The series is highly popular not only in Japan but also overseas, with a total of more than 250 million copies of the comics sold worldwide, including digital editions. Currently, the sequel "BORUTO -NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS-" is in development, as are "Naruto: Sasuke Retsuden Uchiha no Matsuei to Tenkyu no Hoshikuzu" and "Naruto: Kinoha Shinden Yusake Ninpocho", which are comic adaptations of the original novel. The anime started on TV Tokyo affiliated channels from 2002, and it was broadcast as "Naruto: Shippuden" deom 2007 to March 2017. In October 2022, the 20th anniversary of the TV broadcast will be celebrated. In addition, a total of 11 animated feature films have been released. In addition to numerous apps, games, and goods, exhibitions, 2.5D musicals, music festivals, and kabuki performances have also been held. This was the first time in 11 years that a character popularity contest had been held for a work since the 7th Popularity Poll in 2011. For the first time, the poll was conducted online for the entire world, with approximately 4.6 million votes cast. “Namikaze Minato," which became overwhelmingly popular in all regions of the world and among all ages, took the prestigious first place, followed by "Uchiha Itachi" in second place. "Haruno Sakura" came in third place, who made an amazing catch-up in the final stages of the competition. For the final results of the top 100 and below, of those who narrowly missed making the "NARUTOP99" list, as well as other special data such as rankings by generation, please check the special webpage. In addition, the short manga of the top-ranked character by the original author, Kishimoto Masashi, will be drawn in the volume of a "reading manga" with more pages due to the high expectations from fans all over the world. As well as that, to commemorate the announcement of the "NARUTOP99" results, LINE stamps of the top 22 characters featured in Kishimoto's illustrations are now on sale. We will keep an eye on the "NARUTOP99" related developments, including the continuation of the reading manga. (c) Kishimoto Masashi, Scott/Shueisha

“NARUTO” Uchiha Itachi & Sasuke in Retro-Modern Style♪ “Konohagakure no Sato” Commences Project to Celebrate 3rd Anniversary of Opening
To commemorate the third anniversary of the opening of "NARUTO x BORUTO Fuji Konohagakure no Sato" at Fujikyu Highland (Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi) in July 2022, a new anniversary project has been launched to release illustrations of eight popular characters from "NARUTO" in stages. As the first phase, a visual of Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke drawn in a cool retro-modern style was released on June 9, which is Uchiha Itachi's birthday. "Naruto" is a battle action series centered on Uzumaki Naruto, a dropout ninja who grew up in the ninja village called "Konohagakure no Sato", and depicts his growth with his friends. It was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump (published by Shueisha) until 2014 and has sold more than 153 million copies in Japan. The series is popular not only in Japan but also overseas, with more than 46 countries and regions in circulation and more than 97 million copies of the original comics sold overseas. Also, "BORUTO -NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS-" is a spin-off of "NARUTO" serialized in "V Jump" (published by Shueisha). The story is set in the modernized "Konohagakure no Sato" with Boruto, the son of Uzumaki Naruto, who became the "Hokage," the leader of the village, as the main character. The anime has been airing on TV Tokyo since 2017. This time, an original illustration commemorating the third anniversary of "NARUTO x BORUTO Fuji Konohagakure no Sato" has been released. The cool finish of the illustration is sure to tickle fans' fancy with its chic fur and leather outfits and appearances. The red string seen on Itachi in Western clothing and Sasuke in Japanese clothing share expresses the strong bond between the brothers. Also, "Uchiha’s Summer 2022," an annual event commemorating Uchiha Sasuke's birthday (July 23), will be held from July 9 to September 11. During this period, "Ramen Ichiraku," a restaurant in the village, will serve "Uchiha Itachi Kaleidoscope Sharingan 'Tsukuyomi' Infinitely Spicy Ramen," which is rich and infinitely spicy, inspired by the Itachi's Dojutsu "Tsukiyomi," and "Yakitori Q" will serve"Sasuke's Big Spicy Chidori Skewer," which is like an electric shock and gives you an addictive sensation inspired by the Sasuke's ninja technique "Chidori." We hope you will enjoy the Uchiha brothers' special ninjutsu as much as we do. In addition, "Uchiha's Summer Special Mission! Science Ninja Tool Rally" using modern scientific ninja tools (smartphones) has been held, related to the anime "BORUTO -NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS-", which is being aired currently. Visitors who successfully complete the mission will receive a coaster (limited quantity) with a newly-drawn illustration as a reward. Moreover, to commemorate the birthday of the popular character "Mitsuki" (July 25), the first 500 visitors to the "souvenir shop" on or after the day of the mission who give a password will receive a Mitsuki's original birthday sticker. "NARUTO x BORUTO Fuji Konohagakure no Sato" is planning to hold "Uchiha's Summer 2022" with original goods featuring new artwork and events in the "NARUTO Room" at the official hotel, Highland Resort Hotel & Spa. Why don't you come and visit?
