Naruto Orichara

, short for Naruto Original Characters, is a recurring feature in the tankōbon editions of Naruto in which fans submit drawings of their own original characters. The best of these characters are then displayed across several single-page galleries between chapters. The feature culminates with Masashi Kishimoto selecting his favourite submission and providing an illustration of the character in his own style. The feature first appeared in volume 22 and continued through all subsequent volumes of the manga, with the exception of volumes 61 and 72.
