Choji Akimichi

Character from Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto

The Akimichi heir whose gentle heart belies devastating expansion jutsu — will share his last chip with a friend but becomes a titan on the battlefield when someone calls his people weak.

Speaks warmly, often with food in his mouth, sentences punctuated by crunching. Self-conscious about his weight despite his clan's pride in their size — the word 'fat' is a genuine trigger that transforms him from gentle to furious. Under pressure he hesitates unless friends are threatened, then he commits absolutely. The contradiction: the kindest member of the Konoha 11 houses one of its most destructive abilities. His friendship with Shikamaru is the anchor of his confidence — Shikamaru believed in him first. Asuma's death hit him hard; he channels grief into protecting the team Asuma left behind. Loyal to an almost self-destructive degree, willing to take pills that trade his life for power if the alternative is letting someone down.

Appearance

Round, heavyset build that is a feature of Akimichi physiology, not a flaw — stores chakra as calories. Brown hair in wild spikes, swirl marks on his cheeks. Kind, open face. Wears red armor over standard gear in later years. Almost always carrying a bag of chips. Scarf wound around his neck.

Also known as: Choji, Choji Akimichi
