Naruto
Anime ninja boy
Naruto is a massively popular Japanese manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto, following a young ninja named Naruto Uzumaki who dreams of becoming the leader of his village.
The franchise has become a cultural touchstone, spawning films, video games, and a sequel series.
References to Naruto appear frequently in internet culture, from the Naruto run (a distinctive forward-leaning sprint with arms trailing behind) to countless memes.
My son went through a major Naruto phase in middle school.
