[edit] Konohamaru

• Age: 8¹-9² in Part I, 11 in Part II
• Height: 130.6 cm²
• Weight: 29.5 kg²
• Birthday: December 30²
• Blood Type: B²
• Seiyu: Ikue Otani in Part I, Akiko Koike in Part II
• Voice actor: Colleen O'Shaughnessey

Konohamaru (named after the village he lives in: Konoha) is the grandson of the Third Hokage and by extension the nephew of Asuma Sarutobi. Being the grandson of the Third, Konohamaru is often recognized through that link and feels unacknowledged as a result. Although he had just begun training at the Ninja Academy, he constantly attempted surprise attacks on his grandfather so he could defeat him, and acquire the acknowledgment of the Hokage name. Though Ebisu, his tutor, tried to discourage this, it is only through Naruto Uzumaki's influence that Konohamaru realized that there would be no shortcuts to becoming Hokage. Instead, it is a dream that would take many years of hard work and discipline to realize.

Konohamaru's biggest influence is Naruto himself, looking up to him as a role model (and calling him both brother and Boss to match). At various points Naruto and Konohamaru appear to have common bonds between them, such as use of the perverted jutsus, determination and a fiery attitude. Konohamaru ends many of his sentences with "kore" (コレ, a laughing signal or appreciation), much like Naruto's "Dattebayo!"

Konohamaru usually hangs out with his two friends, Udon and Moegi. Together, they call themselves the "Konohamaru Corps" ("Konohamaru Ninja Squad" in the English dub). He and his teammates wear goggles just like the ones that Naruto wore in the first episode and constantly try to sneak up on Naruto with poor variations of the Cloak of Invisibility Technique.

After the timeskip, the Konohamaru Corps have become Genin and are a team with Ebisu as their mentor and leader. In the anime, Konohamaru and his team were given the same mission as Naruto's team were when they first became Genin (the runaway cat). Konohamaru states that he will become the seventh Hokage and that the sixth would be Naruto. Konohamaru's scarf is even longer post-timeskip, stretching at least several feet beyond his neck. Konohamaru has also learned the Shadow Clone Technique, further emulating Naruto. He demonstrates it with a smaller version of Naruto's Harem Technique, first transforming into two naked women, for which Sakura beats him, then transforming into Sasuke Uchiha and Sai (also naked), for which Naruto beats him, and each was very distracted by the other.

[edit] Moegi

• Age: 8¹, 11 in Part II
• Height: 121.8 cm¹
• Weight: 22 kg¹
• Birthday: June 8¹
• Blood Type: A¹
• Seiyu: Noriko Shitaya
• Voice actor: Wendee Lee

Moegi (モエギ, Moegi^?) is the friend of Konohamaru and Udon. She is the kunoichi in the Genin-team led by Ebisu. Her cheeks seem to always have a red blush to them. Moegi appears to have a crush on Konohamaru, and idolizes Sakura Haruno. She also seems to fall for Sasuke's charm after he crushes a rock in his hand which both Moegi and Sakura proclaim as 'cool'.

[edit] Nawaki

• Age: 12² (deceased)
• Height: 140.3 cm²
• Weight: 37.2 kg²
• Birthday: August 9²
• Blood Type: O²
• Seiyu: Yumiko Kobayashi

Nawaki (縄樹, Nawaki^?) is the younger brother of Tsunade. Like Moegi, his cheeks seem to always have a red blush to them. He also looks a lot like Naruto, minus the blond hair, blue eyes and whisker marks. He was eager to fight in the war when he became a Genin, because he wanted to protect his village. This was also the reason he wanted to become Hokage like his grandfather, the First Hokage. Proud of her brother's determination, Tsunade gave him their grandfather's necklace. Unfortunately, Nawaki died on the battlefield the next day. According to Orochimaru, he was so mutilated that Tsunade wouldn't have recognized him. After Nawaki's death, Tsunade lobbied for adding a medic nin to each ninja team, so that the survival rate would go up.

Nawaki was one of the two people Orochimaru offered to bring back to life in exchange for Tsunade's healing of his arms, which were sealed by the Third Hokage. The other person was Dan, Tsunade's deceased boyfriend.

Trivia

• The word Nawaki means "rope wood".

[edit] Udon

• Age: 8¹, 11 in Part II
• Height: 127.5 cm¹
• Weight: 26.5 kg¹
• Birthday: April 3¹
• Blood Type: O¹
• Seiyu: Tomo Shigematsu
• Voice Actor: Kate Higgins

Udon (ウドン, Udon^?) is the friend of Konohamaru and Moegi. He is in the Genin-team led by Ebisu. He seems to have a perpetually-runny nose and seems to be very sleepy. Udon states many times that he loves math, as he is usually seen writing math problems during class. Udon is also a type of Japanese noodle. Udon idolizes Sasuke Uchiha, stating that if he was lucky enough he would be just like Sasuke.
