Talk:Anko Mitarashi

I noticed how several characters have trivia sections, and I was thinking Anko should have one as well.

... but what would one put in it? Simple, a little tidbit I discovered a little while ago. According to an interview with Kishimoto in the book "Naruto Anime Profiles, Volume 1: Episodes 1-37", Anko is, apparently, Kishimoto's favorite female character.

Just an idea, mind you. If there are no objections, I think it'd be a good idea to add this information. 69.255.133.199 00:28, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Anko pic
Whoever made this page,the Anko pic is blurred.Shreyman


 * Yes, that is the only valid image of Anko we currently have. Someone else uploaded Image:Anko-7.jpg, however they did not include proper license information and it's tagged for deletion. And as a rule of thumb, in infoboxes an image which is not tagged for deletion always has rule over one which is tagged for deletion. Also, the infobox always uses an image of the character close to their first appearance in the show (why you see an old image of naruto rather than him in Part II), and that other Anko image looks kinda new, or doesn't make a good depiction.
 * Of course, if you can find a good image of Anko and upload it with proper license information, then feel free to and we can put it into the article. A wiki is about collaboration. Instead of posting comments saying something's wrong, fix it yourself, that's why there's an edit tab at the top of the page. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Jun 26, 2008 @ 01:18 (UTC)

I'm Paranoid I'll do it wrong, so if I put up a link on here that leads to a good Anko screenshot can someone put it up then?

''Mitarashi Anko's height and weight are both incorrect. Her height stated by the First Data Book is 167 cm and her weight is 45.8 kg.''

Anko's actual age
In the image of Anko with young Orochimaru,she looks like a 12-14 year old,and Orochimaru looks like he's in his 20's.But then it would mean Anko's current age is something aoround 40 as Orochimaru is now in his 50's,right?Saiyan16 (talk) 18:11, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The first databook gives her age as 24. Orochimaru looks about the same at any age. ~SnapperTo 18:24, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Anko's page just says she's 24. does this mean she's 24 in part 1 or part 2? also if that of Anko and Oro is during her days as a Konoha genin at age ten, then Kishimoto is officially on crack as that would contradict Oro leaving Konoha prior to Yamato graduating from the academy at age 6 as he is supposed to be two years older then Anko.


 * Read the post above what you just said, first databook says shes 24, which means part 1. And that gets me confused if shes older than yamato, cuz part two hes 26. And he might have left konoha, but he still very much so experimented, But remember yamato was captured shortly after his birth so he would have had the first hokage's DNA infused in him then. I think thats what youre talking about....Shelldone (talk) 21:06, March 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Anko is 24 in the First Databook, which makes her 28 by the time of the Third Databook. We do not know exactly when Orochimaru left Konoha, when he trained Anko, or when he experimented on Yamato. --ShounenSuki (talk 00:39, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 28? It hasn't been four years since the beginning of the series has it? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:25, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Naruto was 12 at the time of the First Databook and 16 at the time of the Third Databook. So yeah, it has been four years. It may even have been five years by now. --ShounenSuki (talk 17:56, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not knowing in which month things happen does this. All I understand is that there has been an October since the timeskip then. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:06, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, I wouldn't put much faith in the characters' birthdays. It seems Kishimoto-sensei simply gives each member of a specific age group the exact same age, without taking the actual date in the manga into account. --ShounenSuki (talk 18:16, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Idk if this is canon or not, but on naruto.viz.com, they have wallpapers that have the exact day and month as the birthday. example: hinata december 27th, yamato, august 10th or tenten march 9th. All the other character info it has on it is true.--Shelldone (talk) 19:48, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * The databooks give us the day and month of birth for almost every character. What's your point, exactly? --ShounenSuki (talk 20:00, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh hahaha, I didnt know it was in the databooks. i didnt read any of them. anyways, well you said kishi gives each member of a specific age group the exact same age. I thought you meant like their birthday is unknown. Sorry!--Shelldone (talk) 20:10, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Who were Anko's teammates?
I've been searching for this info everywhere but I really don't understant why Orochima had only one Genin student, Anko. Even if presumably, he killed off the other two, it still doesn't make sense because he's a highly suspicious character and I'm sure someone who would have taken Anko away from him and also even if he weren't suspected, they'd surely have tried to get other members to make a new team. (btw, I thought all missions, except for certain ones involving ANBUs or jonins, has to involve at least 3 people so how come there's always been missions throughout the story with just two people? Like Gai and Lee.) Anyways, just who were Anko's other two teammates? I really wish someone would make mention of it or at least a picture of them. Even Kakashi was shown in pictures with his other Genin teammates and the sensei but Anko's always been alone.
 * Reason : There was no mention of them (atleast not that i know of)..AlienGamer | Talk 03:27, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I haven't heard anything about them either, why is unknown. Jacce | Talk 05:35, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 * In the official fanbook, there is a chart of genin teams. Orochimaru has three genin students there, although two are only depicted as a question mark (the third being, of course, Anko). So it appears he did have a normal three-man genin team. --ShounenSuki (talk 07:12, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Trivia

 * The time-line for Anko's and Orochimaru's pasts don't add up. Orochimaru defected before the Kyuubi attack, 16 years ago meaning Anko would have been 12. Assuming she recieved her curse mark just before Orochimaru left, Juugo, whom the curse mark originated from, would only have been 2 at the time.
 * Thats quite intrestin, wouldn't u say....and it is true, cause when orochi went to recruit kimmimaru, he was a sound shinobi wasn't he...And kimmimaru is the one who found Jugo rite?? ..-- AlienGamer--Talk-- 19:06, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * They are crazy. here is how to fix it. anko go with orochimaru when he defected.. or something in that filler arc where she found lost memories? how old was she was she was found again after that incident..? and for the age of jugo.. ill just assume he has been living forever and has been giving away his flesh and reverting to a young child.. and sometimes he didnt recoperate.. and the age in data book reflects physical age instead of chronological just for that specific character..Simant (talk) 19:14, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * He hadn't defected then, anko was given the curse mark, then orochi defected, the orochi found Kimmimar, the kimmimaru found Jugo who was the main ehh...item? behind the curse mark....-- AlienGamer--Talk-- 19:17, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * When was it said that Orochimaru defected before the attack of the Nine-Tails? --ShounenSuki (talk 21:43, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * He defected aftr the attack on the 9 tails..I dunno, I just found this trivia to be intrestin, it wasn't me who came up with it....-- AlienGamer--Talk-- 04:05, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

It is really confuseing, with the timeline and all, but lets remember this is Anime and 18-Year olds often look 12, I think that Anko went back to Orochimaru, cause I frankly don't believe any of filler episodes really count as information since Masashi Kishimoto didn't make them. And going back to the age thing, Anko could of very well have been between 14 and 8 when the picture of her as a child was stated, cause she was supposed to be talented and then would have gradutated ealry (Like Itachi who did in one year) And I can't think of when Orochimaru was defected, but it seemed like it was before Nine-Tail's attacked, becase the Third Hokage was ever-so younger in the flashback of them finding out Orochimaru was doing experiments. And he was grey-haired when comforting Iruka after his parents were killed by Nine-Tails, so, once again, I think Anko made contact, maybe joined Orochimaru for a short time after his defection, and Orochimaru got Jugo and Kimimaro (And, please, it's bugging me none of you are spelling his name right) around that time, cause in my point of view Kimimaro looked about 6 or 7, and Jugo was probably the same age. But then again Simmant's theory of him giveing his flesh and turning young over-and-over again doesn't seem so unbelieveable, --LoveGunnerKuniochi (talk) 19:39, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

curse mark
did she ever use the curse mark. if so tell me when and also sombody should put a pic if she ever did use it-Bleach boy

no she didnt cuz her curse mark is dormant--Moiz1224 (talk) 20:15, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

sorry but what dose Dormant mean?-Bleach boy
 * It means she has it but it isn't active, like malaria can be in your body but it is not infecting you. Jacce | Talk 20:20, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

ooo thnx XD-Bleach boy

i wander how she got the curse mark when she was young and the source of the mark ( jogo ) is younger than her about 10 years --82.114.160.31 (talk) 21:31, November 29, 2009 (UTC)((somebody))
 * Maybe she wasn't as young as you think she was. --ShounenSuki (talk 21:33, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

Anko's Appearance
Anyone else think it's kinda weird that most of the Konoha shinobi have those "appearance content thread thing" (for lack of a much better term lol), and Anko doesn't? If so, then shouldn't we make one for her? Krone8


 * I think we should too. ZeroSD (talk) 00:07, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

Age
I think we can fix the age problem with Anko, it's not hard to do, just take her age and add 2 and then three for Shippuden. We don't want people thinking Anko is still 24 after basically 3-4 years. Shock Dragoon 7:30am EST
