The Best Naruto Cosplay Ideas

Naruto, the beloved Japanese anime/manga universe that has inspired legions of devoted fan cosplay. The brainchild of Masashi Kishimoto, the two-part series follows the quest of Naruto Uzumaki: a young man who grew up coexisting with the spirit of the Nine-Tailed Fox and desires to become a ninja worthy of the title Hokage of Konohakakuri. During the manga and the subsequent anime, Naruto and his fellow symbiotes train to become elite warriors protecting humanity from the evil external forces that seek to destroy their alter egos.

For this reason, and in no small part due to the 250 million copies sold worldwide of the manga in 46 countries, cosplay of the main protagonist and antagonist characters has become quite prolific, in and outside of conventions and expositions. This article will break down some of the most common and the most innovative cosplay options from this iconic manga.

Naruto

Naruto Uzumaki, The main character of the manga is hands down one of the most cosplayed characters from the series. Because of his versatility and age progression throughout the series, cosplay participants can be as wildly creative within the character construct as they choose. Some commonly sourced materials that might serve as the basis for a Naruto cosplay would be orange jumpsuits with black silk scarf and golden ranking emblem. While Naruto is traditionally blonde in the manga, some of the cosplay image searches on the Internet featured alternative hair colors in a similar spiked pixie style.

Sasuke Uchiha

Naruto’s arch-rival and main antagonist, Sasuke’s distant and aloof nature, make him an appealing cosplay option for participants that thrive when portraying a villainous character with a backstory. Black hair and haunted eyes, accompanied by a palate of muted grey, blue, and black oversized shirts and pants, Sasuke holds extensive appeal to Naruto while mimicking his rival’s headpiece. Previous cosplay examples included the use of moving blankets and bleached muslin fabrics, as well as traditionally sourced Japanese obi and samurai bamboo armor.

Sakura Haruno

The first female character to develop a storyline within the manga creatively introduces the idea of the warrior woman, albeit assigning Sakura the stereotypical human frailties of falling in love with Sasuke as they train side by side. Her long pink hair and brightly hued Mandarin-inspired wardrobe invokes cosplayers the memory of iconic StreetFighter character Chun Li. Many cosplay examples reference silk brocade tops with monkey fist closures and red piping detail on the tunic accompanied by fitted silk breeches that fall slightly below the knee. Sakura wears the same headpiece as the two male characters, but hers is styled as a hairwrap, perhaps to offset the “masculine” nature of her status as warrior and emphasize her gender within the universe of the manga.

Kakashi Hatake

Perhaps no single cosplay was more suited to the pandemic than Kakashi Hatake, the leader of Team 7 responsible for training Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura in the art of elite ninjitsu. His snow-white hair is offset by a black turtleneck and mask over his pale face. Some cosplay features an eye patch to represent his lost sight, which he does at some point within the universe of the manga regain.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generation

Boruto Uzumaki

The star of the second part of the manga is Borutu, Naturo’s son with Hinata Hyuga. Inheriting his father’s blonde hair with his mother’s blue eyes, Boruto’s journey towards martial arts mastery included the study of his mother’s legacy, the Gentle Fist. Some sample cosplay features Boruto as his age progresses, with blue facial and upper arm body art alongside a red version of his father’s jumpsuit-styled wardrobe and headpiece.

Sarada Uchiha

The daughter of Sasuke and Sakura, Sarada becomes prominent as the central character in Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring. Cosplay participants favor her character for blending her parents’ signature styles: dark hair and eyes, vibrant red eyewear, and a Mandarin-inspired wardrobe. Compared to her mother’s long-sleeved uniform, Sarada favors a sleeveless top, and she provides cosplay enthusiasts with a unique option that offers less sultry and more scholarly.

Mitsuki

The artificial intelligence derived teammate of Boruto and Sarada is a highly popular cosplay for fans of the manga that love the dichotomy of cyber technology and warrior student. Created by scientist Orochimaru, the name Mitsuki translates from Japanese to “vessel for the snake to inhabit.” Deciding to exercise the free will that his creator had not intended for him to develop, Mitsuki’s use of chakra to extend his limbs has made for some incredible cosplay work. His blue-grey gi, hair, and traditional form-fitted black pants and sandals make him a unique but accessible cosplay. His amber eyes require colored contacts, and his pallid complexion allows cosplay participants to utilize a full-body makeup application.

Whatever character you select to cosplay, there is no end of options to choose from this groundbreaking, genre-defining manga. For more anime/manga-related content, be sure to subscribe to our blog and get some really cool Naruto wallpaper downloads!

We all know that Naruto is a hit anime/manga, but what are the top 10 strongest characters?

At first, I thought there would only be ten, but as I got deeper into the series, I realized many strong characters. Some are stronger than others, but they should not go unnoticed.

Here are an Extra 20 Strong Naruto Characters

10. Itachi Uchiha

Itachi was probably one of the most popular characters ever introduced into Naruto. He’s powerful, both physically and mentally. He had many bloodlines limits, including Tsukuyomi, which helped put his opponents under genjutsu to make them do whatever he wanted.

He also has Amaterasu, which can burn anything, even fire itself! Not only that, but once activated, it could not be put out with any amount of water.

9. Zabuza Momochi

Zabuza was another powerful character, mostly for his fantastic swordsmanship. Zabuza was able to take on two of the series strongest characters at once, Kakashi and Gato.

He’s known for his greatsword skills which are said to have no equal. These are evident when he took on both Kakuzu and Kakashi on the same day, despite being exhausted from previous fights. Not only that, but he also showed the speed when dodging all of Kakashi’s attacks with ease.

8. Tobirama Senju

Tobirama is the older brother of Hashirama and was also very powerful despite his age. He was the second Hokage who could hold his own against another ninja during that time. Not only that, but he made a mighty army to combat threats. One of these threats included Madara Uchiha, the first-ever jinchuriki, meaning he had all nine tails inside him!

7. Minato Namikaze

He was one of the few characters who were said to be more powerful than both of his parents combined! That’s certainly saying something since Kushina has the 9-tails locked inside her, and Tobirama is considered one of the strongest ninja of his time who could beat Madara Uchiha in battle.

6. Jiraiya

Jiraiya is known to be the Pervy Sage (no pun intended) and has always had a great way with words. Not only can he impress all the ladies, but he was one of the strongest ninjas in Naruto.

During his training with Orochimaru, Jiraiya showed incredible strength by pushing back Orochimaru’s strikes. He was also able to learn the summoning jutsu after just seeing it once.

5. Hashirama Senju

Hashirama is considered one of the strongest ninja in all of Naruto, and for a good reason too! Before even introducing his Mokuton bloodline limit, he was already known as a great shinobi when taking on Madara Uchiha when they were both very young.
Madara was considered stronger at the time, but Hashirama still managed to keep up with him! Not only that, but he was able to push Madara back when they fought in their prime.

4. Jinchuriki Killer Bee

Killer Bee might be the least developed character in Naruto (many different names, including Jin, know him), but that doesn’t mean he can’t take down some of the strongest characters in Naruto.
During his fight with Kisame, he managed to create an 8-tailed cloak almost instantly! That’s saying something since usually, it takes at least a few hours without chakra exhaustion.

3. Hashirama Senju + Mito Uzumaki

Hashirama might be strong by himself, but having Mito backing him up makes him twice as strong! This team is probably one of the strongest in Naruto since Mito has an extremely powerful bloodline limit that makes her invincible when in complete contact with Hashirama’s cells.

This means that she can regenerate infinitely when in touch with him, which is very helpful for long battles.

2. Madara Uchiha

Madara Uchiha might have been considered weaker than Hashirama back in the day, but he still managed to defeat his younger brother when they fought at Valley of the End.
Not only was he strong enough to take down Izuna without any effort when they were kids, but he was also able to create a Sharingan after just seeing it once! He became one of Konoha’s founders and assisted in moving the Nine-Tails into his brother’s body.

1. Naruto Uzumaki

Naruto has always been one of my favorite characters. He may not be the most intelligent person around, but he can pack a punch.

Not only is he able to learn how to use multiple elemental chakra attacks after just seeing them once, but he has also managed to take down some of Konoha’s most elite ninja all on his own.

He was even able to go toe-to-toe with Kakuzu, who had shown exceptional strength by cutting through Shikamaru’s shadows which were considered almost impossible for anyone else before him. Naruto might be reckless at times, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t vital.

In conclusion, these are just some of the top Naruto characters ranked by their strength. Unfortunately, some people might disagree with the order since there are so many unique characters in Naruto.
