About Naruto

Naruto gets his hero's welcome, at Crunchtyroll - Naruto Shippuden, Hero's Come Back, on Crunchyroll - Masashi Kishimoto / Shueisha / TV Tokyo / Studio Pierrot

The shonen series Naruto has entertained fans for more than 20 years. Naruto Uzumaki is an easy hero to like, with his unorthodox ninja style, comical antics, and “never give up” attitude.

Manga artist Masashi Kishimoto created the Naruto manga. The series ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1999 to 2014. 

Like a lot of shonen series, the anime was divided into two parts — Naruto ran from 2002 to 2007; while an older and wiser Naruto fought epic villains in Naruto: Shippuden from 2007 to 2017.

The series spawned a sequel series, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. The story of Naruto’s son started in 2017, and is still continuing. You can find it at Crunchyroll, among other places.

1. Naruto and Sasuke

Naruto and Sasuke cap at Amazon

When it comes to shonen rivalries, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha are top tier, s-ranked rivals. 

This cap features the two ninjas side-by-side, ready to go into battle. The Naruto Shippuden logo is on the side.  

If you don’t care for this design, this is actually one of three available at the same webpage. The second one features Sasuke, and the third has Sasuke’s older brother Itachi.

You can find this item at Amazon.

2. Cloud Bucket Hat

Naruto cloud bucket hat at the Crunchyroll Store

This blue bucket hat features the Shonen Jump Naruto Shippuden logo against a background of clouds. 

Noticeably, it’s the English language logo, rather than the Japanese version, which has Shippuden in kanji. Still, it’s a fun and colorful design.

You can find this item at the Crunchyroll Store.

3. Kakashi

Kakashi (Naruto) cap at Amazon

If If you’re a fan of “the Copy Ninja” Kakashi, you might want this cap. Kakashi lifts his headband to reveal his sharingan eye on this unique cap. 

Behind him, Kakashi’s name is written out in a big sports-style block font. If you turn up the bill, Kakashi is there as well, about to use what looks like the Chidori jutsu.

You can find this item at Amazon.

4. Kunai and Jutsu

Kunai and Jutsu (Naruto) cap at Amazon

This is sort of a busy baseball cap, but it looks good. On the front, Naruto is giving the hand sign for some jutsu. (Honestly, even after Googling it, I’m not sure which sign it is.) The Uzumaki clan’s swirl logo is behind him.

Below Naruto are some crossed kunai knives. The front of the hat is black, but the back is red.

You can find this item at Amazon.

5. Hidden Leaf Beanie

Hidden Leaf Beanie (Naruto) at the Crunchyroll Store

Show your allegiance to Konohagakure (a.k.a. Konoha, the Village Hidden in the Leaves, or the Hidden Leaf Village) with this beanie.

The beanie resembles the forehead protector headband worn by ninjas from Konoha. It features a metallic Konoha “leaf” symbol, while the top of the beanie is the same color as a typical Naruto ninja uniform.

You can find this item at the Crunchyroll Store.

6. Ichiraku Ramen

Ichiraku Ramen (Naruto) cap at Amazon

If Ichiraku Ramen sold a souvenir baseball cap, it would probably look something like this one. 

The cap gives an “Est. 1999” grand opening date for the ramen shop. That corresponds with the publication of the first Naruto manga in Weekly Shonen Jump. Pretty clever, you guys.

Of course, Ichiraku is the best ramen shop in Konoha village. At least, that’s what Naruto says, and as a ramen lover, he should know.

If you’re suddenly hungry for ramen, check out our Japanese noodle article.

You can find this item at Amazon.

7. Ninja Academy

Ninja Academy (Naruto) at Amazon

Here’s where Naruto’s ninja journey began. The “Number One Hyperactive, Knucklehead Ninja” failed the graduation exam several times before finally earning his headband. Of course, that was just the beginning of the series, but it demonstrated how tough things were going to be for him in the future.

You don’t have to be an academy graduate to wear this hat. But it shows that you’re a fan.  

You can find this item at Amazon.

8. Uchiha Bucket Hat

Uchiha (Naruto) bucket hat at Amazon

This bucket hat features a round fan, the symbol for the Uchiha clan. Of course, the family’s name comes from uchiwa, a type of round fan. One of the uses of an uchiwa is to fan the flames of a fire, which is appropriate for a clan with fire-style abilities.

This is one of several Naruto-related designs available in this style of bucket hat.

You can find this item at Amazon.

9. Akatsuki Beanie

Akatsuki (Naruto) beanie at BoxLunch

The Akatsuki organization was probably the best antagonist group in Naruto. Divided up into small groups of charismatic rogue ninja, and led by mysterious leaders with big plans, it was certainly memorable.  How could you not like the explosive artist Deidara, or the goofy Tobi?

This acid-washed beanie features the red cloud logo of the Akatsuki. It’s a BoxLunch exclusive item.

Retailer BoxLunch partners with the charitable organization Feeding America to donate meals to food banks. So when you buy from them, you’re not only getting some cool stuff, you’re helping people.  

You can find this item at BoxLunch.

10. Hello Kitty Naruto

Hello Kitty/ Naruto collaboration cap at Amazon

Sanrio has done a lot of anime collaborations. (You can find a good example of this in our My Hero Academia shirt list.) 

And so naturally, the people behind Hello Kitty and Friends did a collaboration with Naruto.  This particular item features Hello Kitty cosplaying as Naruto. Underneath her, it says “Hello Kitty – Uzumaki Naruto” in Japanese.

You can find this item at Amazon.

Here are some interesting examples of what you may find at ZenPlus:

You can get various different Nyaruto characters. (“Nya” is “meow” in Japanese.) Of course, you can also get more traditional figurines as well.

These include Nintendo Famicom, Sony PlayStation 2, PSP, PS Vita, PS3, PS4, GameBoy Advance, Nintendo DS and 3DS, GameCube, Switch, Wii, WiiU, Microsoft Xbox 360, and Xbox One. A lot of these are fighting games, including some where Naruto fights against other Shonen Jump characters.
