The protagonist of NARUTO. 16 years old. Bright and forward-looking. Positive and energetic. A hard worker who never gave up despite being called a failure, growing stronger through sheer effort. Deeply cares for his comrades. Possesses a strong sense of justice, stubborn and straightforward. Kind-hearted. Prone to loneliness due to his isolated childhood. Ends his sentences with "Believe it!" (dattebayo). He harbors romantic feelings for Sakura.

A Jonin of the Hidden Leaf Village and the leader of Team 7 (Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura). Calm and composed, yet somewhat elusive, often lightening the mood with jokes. While he usually appears lethargic, he is prepared to risk his life to protect his comrades. He rarely shows his full face, keeping his mouth hidden behind a mask. His hobby is reading, and he is often seen with a book during mission downtime. He is notoriously loose with time and frequently arrives late to meetings, offering flimsy excuses as a routine. While he maintains a relaxed and poised demeanor, his expression shifts instantly when his allies are in danger, confronting enemies with overwhelming skill and experience. To his students, he is a reliable teacher and a guiding light in life.
