Naruto – From Outsider to Cult Ninja
If you don’t know Naruto yet, it’s about time: The character Naruto Uzumaki comes from the manga and anime of the same name, which was published between 1999 and 2014 and is one of the most successful manga series of all time. By 2025, more than 250 million books have been sold worldwide, and on Netflix alone, the series celebrated a real streaming record in 2024 with over 330 million hours of viewtime. Even in the USA, Naruto was among the top 3 most-watched anime shows in 2020. No question: This blond ninja, whose dream is to become Hokage, the leader of his village and the strongest ninja, has brought spirit and willpower to the center of pop culture.
Model Building Meets Ninja Myth
Naruto Uzumaki is much more than just a figure for his fans: he is a piece of living history, a symbol of the never-ending fight against resistance and prejudice, and an invitation to combine your passion for crafting with the fascination for anime. The set is suitable for children from 10 years old, beginners, and even experienced model builders get their money’s worth: The assembly is completely glue-free thanks to the Easy-Click system and as clean as it is simple. There is no mess here but a stress-free experience where every detail of the figure and its pose, line, and expression is recreated with loving attention to detail. In the diorama, experts still have plenty of creative freedom for painting or adding further details.
From First Sketch to Perfect Miniature
Naruto stands for goals that seem unreachable but still come true. The character was originally developed as an outsider who believes in himself and grows with every challenge. The development team quickly realized that the figures must be “authentic” in every aspect, not just decorative. With 37 precise components, an extensive sticker and optional decal set for decoration, as well as the included display diorama, you later present your model stylishly in the showcase. The proportions are exactly thought out and, as a finished scene, form an implied cube with edges of 15 cm length. Perfect to transport Naruto’s typical look and expression onto your bookshelf among your mangas.

From the World of Naruto
Many stories revolve around Naruto’s inventiveness, his determination, and the legendary strength he shows in every fight. Especially the Rasengan, a spiraling energy attack, has become a symbol of creativity and perseverance. The technique was developed by Naruto’s father Minato Namikaze to protect Kushina and has created iconic moments in the series. That’s why we decided to show Naruto in the depicted scene winding up to throw one of his legendary Rasengans. Every attack stands for the idea that true power arises inside and spreads spirally until it changes the world. Naruto himself perfects the Rasengan again and again and manages to combine the technique with impressive individual powers—this is not only storytelling at its finest but also a beautiful inspiration for every kind of art, even in model building!
Records You Should Know
To this day, few manga series come close to Naruto’s success: With more than 250 million books sold worldwide, Naruto stands in a league of its own. In France alone, more than 2.2 million volumes were sold in 2021, which shows how closely the community is networked and how strong the enthusiasm is. With several special editions and “Naruto: The Whorl within the Spiral,” a one-shot manga about Namikaze Minato and the origin of the Rasengan released in 2024, the story continues to expand and remains constantly up to date.
Personal Stories & Fans Worldwide
Naruto fascinates across generations. My daughter was instantly hooked after borrowing the first volume in elementary school and read through the entire series last year: 24 thick books, around 700 pages each, so over 17,000 pages in three months! The fascination for Naruto knows no boundaries. Many fans report that they found motivation for their own projects and life goals through the story, whether it is sports goals, creative expression, or building models.
