Choji

Choji Akimichi is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto. He is a ninja from Konohagakure and a member of the Akimichi clan, known for their calorie-based methods to enhance physical power. He is part of Team 10, alongside Shikamaru Nara and Ino Yamanaka, under the leadership of Asuma Sarutobi.

Akimichi techniques rely on calorie control to convert food energy into chakra. This enables Choji to expand his body and weaponize his mass using the Expansion Jutsu and its variants, such as Partial Expansion. The techniques produce large limbs and enhanced strength, but they require careful management of calories and chakra to avoid exhaustion.

Character: Initially quiet and self-conscious about his weight, Choji grows into a loyal ally who protects his teammates and demonstrates courage in battle. His development is shown through his teamwork with Shikamaru and Ino, and his willingness to sacrifice for friends. He participates in major missions and battles across the series, including conflicts during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

In Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Choji appears as an adult and is depicted as the father of Chocho Akimichi, continuing the Akimichi clan's legacy of strategic and physical prowess.
