Konohamaru Sarutobi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Konohamaru Sarutobi (猿飛 木ノ葉丸^?), named after Konohagakure, is the grandson of the Third Hokage. He strives to replace his grandfather as Hokage so the villagers of Konohagakure will recognize him by name, not as the Hokage's grandson. He looks to Naruto Uzumaki as a mentor in this quest, emulating his work ethic, determination, and signature jutsu such as the Rasengan and a variety of perverted techniques. Konohamaru insists, however, that he will only become Hokage after Naruto has been Hokage first.

^[13] Konohamaru's design caused great difficulties for Masashi Kishimoto; he intended for Konohamaru to look like a "punk" smaller than Naruto, yet all of his attempts resulted in a mere recreation of Naruto. He eventually gave Konohamaru small, angry-looking eyes, and was instantly happy with the design.^[151] He is voiced in the Japanese anime by Ikue Otani, and by Akiko Koike as a stand-in.^[152][153] Colleen O'Shaughnessey is his English voice actor.^[87]
