NARUTOP99

NARUTOP99 is a worldwide poll to determine the most popular character of the original Naruto manga. From December 17, 2022 through January 31, 2023, fans of the series can vote once per day for one of 488 possible characters. The results will be announced in April 2023, including: a list of the 99 most popular characters; an illustration of the 20 most popular characters; a special manga omake featuring the most popular character, illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto.

The 488 candidates are seemingly compiled from the four supplementary databooks: Rin no Sho, Tō no Sho, Sha no Sho, and Jin no Sho. As such, characters that were not featured in any of the databooks, notably Boruto Uzumaki and his age group, are not included. This also means that some characters are listed twice, notably Tobi and Obito Uchiha.
