Naruto: Sarutobi Hiruzen

The Third Hokage of Konohagakure, Sarutobi Hiruzen was a powerful ninja hailed as a God of Shinobi. He was a source of wisdom to many, passing on the things he had learned to the next generation. As Hokage, he acquired a habit of attempting to end things peacefully in order to avoid bloodshed amongst both his allies and his enemies.

Oh wow, Hirakawa Kazuhiro looks exactly like the character! They did a good job with the make up on his face too! What do you guys think?

Naruto: Gaara 04

Gaara was a kind child who desperately tried to be friendly with others until his father, the fourth Kazekage order Yashamaru to attack Gaara physically and psychologically in order to see if Gaara could gain control the sealed Shukaku within him. As Yashamaru was the only one who seemed to care for him, his assassination attempt upon Gaara twisted his personality and misled him to believe that no one cared for him. Gaara used his sand to carve the kanji for “love” (愛) on his forehead as a symbol of his resolution to become a “demon loving only itself”, and live up to the name his mother gave him.

In a way, Gaara and Naruto have similar childhoods, no? But how they overcame their difficult pasts are completely different. Anyway, what do you guys think of Suga Kenta’s version of Gaara?

Naruto: Uchiha Sasuke 06

Although Sasuke was a kind and loving child, he had grown into cold, cynical, and arrogant young man after the downfall of the Uchiha Clan. During his time at the Academy, Sasuke was a loner who preferred to hone his skills than socializing with other students. However, when he was introduced to Team Kakashi, he first though of his teammates as a hindrance, until he slowly grew attached to them and began to think of them as his family.

Doesn’t Sato Ryuji make a lovely Sasuke? It looks like there are some changes to the textures and layers of his outfit. Maybe it simply looks better on the theatrical stage? I’m really curious to know how the fans thought of this play! Has anyone seen it yet?

Naruto: Uzumaki Naruto 06

Naruto is a boisterous and exuberant individual well-known for his catchphrase “Dattebayo!” or the American alternative, “Believe it!”. He is quite the picky eater, almost exclusively eating ramen for all of his meals. He also likes giving nicknames to anyone he meets, and often addresses them without proper honorifics, even if there is an obvious gap in social standings.

So, fans of this franchise who are in Japan, how was the performance? Frankly, I’m impressed with this photo of Matsuoka Koudai, because a handstand like that is difficult to do! Hopefully a DVD and/or Blu-Ray will be out soon?
