27
28Shikamaru and Temari's son. A genin of Boruto's graduating Academy batch. A former classmate and a close childhood friend of Boruto. A member of the seventeenth generation of Ino-Shika-Chou trio. Currently a chūnin in Team Moegi.
29----
30* AlliterativeFamily: '''S'''hikadai of course, shares first letters with his father, '''S'''hikamaru. Coincidentally, he also shares the first three letters of his name with his cousin, Shinki.
31* BadassFamily: Like with Boruto and Himawari, he comes from some pretty good genes. Shikamaru and Temari are his parents. The Fifth Kazekage (Gaara) and Kankurou are his uncles, and Shinki is his equally badass cousin. His grandparents include Shikaku Nara and the Fourth Kazekage (Rasa).
32* BigBrotherInstinct: In an interesting parallel of their fathers' relationship, he himself shows tendencies of this towards Boruto. He tends to give Boruto advice and reprimand him when he doesn't act appropriately. Hinata is even constantly asking him to watch out for Boruto in the anime.
33* BlowYouAway: Within a year or two of graduating the academy he had mastered his mother's Sickle Weasel Technique and Dance of Turbulence, though he admits they aren't as powerful as her versions of them.
34* BrainyBrunette: Just like his father, he is raven-haired and is the man with the ideas and strategies in the team.
35* BrilliantButLazy: Because as Shikamaru's son, the best way to honor his father is to be just as lazy and unenthusiastic, while being the smartest kid of his generation.
36* BrutalHonesty: Shikadai showed himself to be blunt and outspoken like his mother, telling Boruto that pursuing a prank during the Five Kage Summit was stupid.
37* ButtMonkey: Whether or not he is involved with Boruto's antics, Shikadai will also get scolded either by his teacher or his mother.
38* CastingAShadow: He wields his family's signature [[ShadowPin Shadow Possession jutsu]], although he seems much more proficient with it, even creating a massive shadow circle to capture Boruto and all his clones in their fight.
39* {{Catchphrase}}: "Mendokuse."[[note]]”What a drag.”[[/note]] what else?
40* CharacterDevelopment: After the Chunin Exams and becoming a chunin himself, Shikadai became more rule-abiding and strict. He also puts more heart into the things he does.
41* ChessMotifs: He also enjoys playing shōgi. His possible representation is the pawn. He manages to destroy the Byakuya Gang plans, because he recognized the strategy Ryōgi, a member, used in the game.
42* ChildProdigy: Like his father, his I.Q. is said to be over 200, and he also possesses the Kazekage bloodline. This is why he is said to be a prodigy of the new generation.
43* CrazyPrepared: He said he had at least 12 countermeasures in place if Boruto had used the Rasengan in their fight.
44* ADayIntheLimelight: Episode 97 revolves around Shikadai.
45* DeadpanSnarker: Doesn't address his uncle Gaara properly, and when told to do so by Temari, responds by saying, "sup" and then asks for his other uncle.
46* EarlyBirdCameo: In a non-canon Naruto SD anime spin-off, in which a boy who appears to be Shikadai himself and his non-canon, unnamed sister who looks like Temari.
47* FamilyThemeNaming: Yet another generation of Ino-Shika-Cho, [[GenerationXerox like his father and grandfather, and at least 16 generations before that]], he's got "Shika" in his name.
48* FighterMageThief: When Boruto, Shikadai, and Inojin play their favourite RolePlayingGame together, Shikadai is the [[KnightInShiningArmor armor-clad warrior]].
49* FriendlyRivalry: Shikadai has a small one with Boruto, in the manga he mentions disliking the idea of having lost to Boruto in the Chunin Exams although this was overturned once it was found that Boruto had cheated.
50* GenerationXerox: Of all the SpinOffspring featured in Boruto, Shikadai is the one who most closely resembles his father in terms of looks and personality. He is also the only one to become a chunin after the exams, just his father before him. Indeed, it's hard to say much about him that is all that different from Shikamaru, aside from him being more motivated and interested in the world than his father was as a young teen.
51* HeroicLineage: Shikadai is the son of [[NumberTwo Shikamaru]] and [[LadyOfWar Temari]]. Although, on his mother's side, she started off as an antagonist in Part I.
52* HeterosexualLifePartners: He is Boruto's best friend. He later becomes close to his teammate Inojin.
53* HiddenDepths: Despite showing little caring about winning or losing a battle, on the rare times he does it, he is shown putting a lot of heart in it. When he lost the battle against Boruto, even he was surprised at himself for being so disappointed and almost heartbroken, when his usual reaction would have been "What a drag".
54* IAmNotLeftHanded: Initially Shikadai tries not to use his Wind ninjutsu because he feels it reflects badly on his father and the Nara Clan to use the jutsu of outsiders.
55* KnowWhenToFoldEm: He gives up in his fight against Boruto after the latter makes numerous shadow clones after Shikadai had him beat. Shikadai is later declared the winner after it was revealed that Boruto was using a banned device and not his own abilities. The anime changes it to having Boruto advance and not Shikadai.
56* TheLeader: He is the unofficial internal leader of the newest Ino-Shika-Cho trio. His strategic mind makes him the mastermind time, but because he is a firm believer of "ThePowerOfFriendship" he also shows characteristics of the charismatic type, too.
57* LikeParentLikeChild:
58** Shikadai takes after his father, Shikamaru, in several ways, possessing a similar relaxed, unenthusiastic personality. He even [[spoiler:gives up in the Chunnin Exam when things become too tough, frustrating Ino and amusing both Sakura and his mother, Temari.]]
59** From his mother, Temari, he inherited her blunt manner (see his BrutalHonesty section).
60* NervesOfSteel: He manages somehow to remain levelheaded and think of a plan despite facing a powerful and agile foe like Kokuyō.
61* RealMenWearPink: Wears what appear to be jade stud earrings.
62* RoyalBlood: In ''[[Literature/NarutoHiden Gaara Hiden: A Sandstorm Mirage]]'', it is said he possesses the Kazekage bloodline, and if Gaara and Kankuro do not have children, Suna would seek to have him return there one day to succeed the title of Kazekage from his uncle Gaara.
63* ShadowPin: He can neutralize and control his enemies' movements with various Nara clan Hidden techniques.
64* TheSlacker: Temari's genes couldn't overcome this Nara trait. Shikamaru even lampshades this in the first chapter of ''Naruto Gaiden''. That said, Shikadai is notably more motivated than Shikamaru was in his early genin years. At one point he even volunteers to go into politics simply to reduce the burden his father carries as clan head, before being convinced it is better for him to remain a ninja.
65* TheSmartGuy: He is the smartest of both Team Moegi and the six New Era Shinobi. His stats show that his intelligence stat is already 180. Definitely Shikamaru's son.
66* TheStrategist: He is in development of become a great tactician. During his fight against Boruto, Shikadai said he had at least 12 countermeasures in place if Boruto had used the Rasengan.
67* StrongFamilyResemblance: He is a young Shikamaru, with Temari's eyes and facial features, giving him a much more [[LongHairedPrettyBoy feminine appearance]].
68* SuperiorSuccessor: He is as smart as Shikamaru, but with Temari's strength and chakra pool. While Shikamaru at his age often struggled to stretch his shadow due to chakra issues, Shikadai has little trouble using the jutsu and can even completely cover a large area with his shadow, something Shikamaru has never shown. He easily defeats one of the favorites to win the Chunnin Exams in Yodo and then has little trouble in defeating Boruto until the latter uses the Kote that Naruto had forbidden to create a huge number of Shadow Clones (or one extra clone in the anime/canon version of the fight). Compare that to Shikamaru who nothing was expected of in the Chunnin Exams.
69* TallDarkAndHandsome: Shikadai is 155cm (5'1"). He is 6 centimeters (3 inches) taller than every other Konoha next generation kid with the exception of Iwabee Yuino who is 3 years older.
70* UnwittingTestSubject: Mirai would often use him to practice her genjutsu on. This also allowed him to learn a lot about genjutsu and how to release it long before his classmates learned about the subject.

80----
81* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite her size, she's quite fast.
82* AdvertisedExtra: Although she was a "main" character in the Naruto Gaiden, she practically has no lines in the movie and gets [[spoiler:defeated fairly quickly by Shinki in the final part of the Chunnin Exam]].
83* AdaptationDyeJob: Kishimoto and the anime depicts Chocho as a dark-skinned girl with auburn hair, while Ikemoto draws her as a blonde in the manga.
84* AllLoveIsUnrequited: She gives a bag of chips to Mitsuki to symbolize her crush on him. Though he does try them with Orochimaru, Mitsuki admits that they're good but "not for him".
85* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: Chocho upgraded her kimono to a two pieces ninja gear after the time skip which shows her tummy. She is not less feminine.
86* BeTheBall: She can do the Human Bullet Tank jutsu but she dislikes it because of how it makes her look.
87* BigEater: She skips a family training session to go off and eat dango with Anko.
88* BigFun: She is a bit fat like her father and she's quite funny.
89* BlueBlood: Chocho is the heiress to the Akamichi clan, one of the four noble clans of Konohagakure. Like her father before her however, Chocho does not carry the air of pretention that one would expect someone of her stature to have, being the epitome of ModestRoyalty.
90* BrokenPedestal: Chocho becomes very disappointed to learn that Tomaru is a vain and shameless man, only interested in the beauty of Chōchō's Butterfly Mode. When he didn't recognized the normal Chocho, he began to mock her for her plumpness, crushing her feelings for him in the process. Chocho's resolve is to not tell him the truth and continue the mission just for the sake of it. Tomaru eventually gets quite enchanted with the real Chocho and she appreciate his character growth, but she advises him to keep improving himself before he tries to seriously woo her.
91* ChangelingFantasy: Fantasizes that one or both of her parents aren't really hers despite the obvious family resemblances. Mitsuki considers the possibility that she needs some real professional help, much to her annoyance. In the ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' anime, a flashback shows that Chocho fondly remembers a handsome, slim-looking man taking care of her when she was ill, leading her to believe that man is her real father. This man of course was still Choji... only after activating his [[BishonenLine Butterfly Mode]].
92* CharacterDevelopment: She receives some during her own arc. Appointed to guard her favorite actor, Chocho uses The Butterfly Mode jutsu to stay slim, despite weakening her considerable in the process, just to get the attention of the guy she likes. By the end of the arc, Chocho learns 2 lessons: to stay true to herself because quality is more important than physical appearance, and people who truly appreciate her will do it for who she is on the inside regardless of how she looks.
93* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Naruto Gaiden proves Chocho to be a bit...eccentric. This carries over to her future appearances as well, where she often comes to odd conclusions or makes strange comparisons.
94* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Constantly, it doesn't matter the subject, Chocho will manage somehow to make it romance, fashion or food related.
95* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: She has several things in common with Ino, such as being the hot-tempered best friend of the red-coded main heroine, being a ProudBeauty and the daughter of the head of the clan, and having a long bang covering one of her eyes, but she also differs from Ino a lot.
96** First, her friendship with the red-coded main heroine. Ino and Sakura broke up for a few years because Sakura felt she needs to step out of Ino's shadow and learn to shine on her own. They became bitter rivals over the years, for both pure competitiveness and being in love with the same boy. Chocho always stayed good friends with Sarada and never became rivals. Chocho ends up fighting her best friend during the chunin exams, but unlike Ino and Sakura, they stayed friends both before and after the fight. Ino's battle with Sakura ends up being stalemate, while Chocho loses the fight.
97** Ino was always a light-skinned woman with blond hair and a slim stature, whereas Chocho is a dark-skinned redhead and quite stout.
98** Ino rarely joined a physical fight in her youth, while Chocho is the BigGuy of her team.
99* CurbstompBattle: In the movie her battle against Shinki is just her throwing everything she has at him while he holds her in place and swats rocks back at her. She had absolutely no chance despite the fight she put up. In the anime/canon version she does push Shinki to actually put forth some effort against her, but it's still clear she had no chance of beating him.
100* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Was an IdiotHero for thinking Choji and Karui are not her parents at first in Gaiden, until the end. That said, she's quite a good fighter when motivated.
101* CrushFilter: Boruto sees her with this after seeing her in her thin form for the first time.
102* DaddysGirl: Despite her "problems" with her parents, Chocho still has her dad pretty much wrapped around her lil fingie.
103* DelayedReaction: Sarada [[CallingTheOldManOut vents her frustrations]] on Sasuke for a while but it's only after she walks out that Chocho finally gets who Sasuke is.
104* DemotedToExtra: In the Boruto movie, where she does not even get a speaking role. She only appears about four times in the whole movie.
105* TheDitz: Chocho is not terribly bright and [[ComicallyMissingThePoint frequently misses the point]] of things, but she does have a [[SimpleMindedWisdom candid wisdom]] about her at times.
106* ElectricBlackGuy: Chocho can use lightning based jutsus.
107* FamilyThemeNaming: Yet another generation of Ino-Shika-Cho, [[GenerationXerox like her father and grandfather, and at least 16 generations before that]], she's got "Cho" in her name.
108* FanservicePack: During her own focus arc, Chocho spent most of her time on her Butterfly Mode to catch attention of the actor she crushes on. She is shown being slender, but more curvaceous then the other girls.
109* FatAndProud:
110** Unlike her father who claims to be big boned, her reaction to Inojin calling her fat is to tell him a very nonchalant "yeah, so?". In fact it all comes from her father's bloodline. She is ''slightly'' more sensitive about her weight in ''Naruto Gaiden''.
111** She temporarily comes to dislike being cute and chubby and desired to solely be cute and slim when her favorite actor makes it clear he dislikes girls with some weight to them, She only regains her confidence after Mitsuki cheers her up making a chip metaphor about what's on the inside that matters.
112* FatAndSkinny: Strong and chubby compared with lithe, agile Sarada.
113* FatBestFriend: To Sarada.
114* FatComicRelief: Many jokes are made at the expense of Chocho's weight, especially Inojin love to tease her about it, calling her "fatty".
115* FieryRedhead: On the rare occasions where she is really fired up about something, she can have a temper to match for, and can become even physically aggressive when she is angry.
116* FunPersonified: Chocho absolutely hates grim moments, and is often seen trying to relieve the tension by offering food, cracking jokes, talking about who she thinks her parents are, etc.
117* GirlishPigtails: Wears her hair in a pair and is a flighty slacker.
118* GirlyBruiser: She's a romantic at heart and has an eccentric nature but she also has mastery of several of the Akimichi clan's destructive jutsus.
119* HeterosexualLifePartners: Despite being {{Childhood Friend|s}} with Inojin and Shikadai, Chocho admits she can show her more vulnerable self only around Sarada.
120 -->'''Sarada:''' I think it's great... that part of you.\
121''' Chocho:''' Well, you're the only one I can talk to about this kind of things, right?
122* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Averted, despite her [[ChangelingFantasy personality]] [[TheDitz quirks]]. She warns Sarada not to trust [[AffablyEvil Orochimaru]], since that man... woman... whatever creeps her out.
123* HotWings: Just liker her father, she can use Calorie Control jutsu that gives her butterfly wings.
124* IceCreamKoan: Chocho is full of wisdom that not many people seem to understand.
125-->'''Chōchō:''' We're like lounge pants with an elasticized waist. There's lots and lots of room for us to grow... to the max!\
126'''Inojin:''' I can never get your questionable metaphors!\
127'''Shikadai:''' What the hell... Is this your idea of consoling me?
128* InnocentlyInsensitive: Constantly complains about her parents to Sarada, unaware of Sarada's inner turmoil about her own.
129* IntergenerationalFriendship: She and Anko bond over their love for sweets.
130* InSeriesNickname: Inojin likes to call her "Debu" ("Fat/Fatty", "Chubs" in the English version).
131* ItsAllAboutMe:
132** She thinks Shin Uchiha was after her, and taken aback when she learns the purpose of Sarada's journey was to meet with Sasuke.
133** She thinks all the boys are in love with her, even ''Naruto''.
134* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her self-centered attitude, Chocho is a brave kunoichi who cares about her friends.
135* LetsGetDangerous: On the rare times Chocho doesn't think about boys or food. She trained constantly for the second Chunin Exams because she did not want to disappoint Shikadai or Inojin, and became very frustrated in the middle of her fight with Sarada, when her friend would not take her serious at all. Despite losing, she was capable to keep up with Sarada.
136* LongHairIsFeminine: To contrast Sarada's raven-colored BoyishShortHair, Chocho has auburn long hair which indicates her more girlish preoccupations and style as a GirlyBruiser.
137* MaleGaze: Out of all girls of the new generation, Chocho is the most exposed to moments of fanservice in anime. She is the only female character to get {{Panty Shot}}s and have her clothing get teared for fanservice. The camera also tends to focus on her chest, best seen during ''Chocho's Arc''.
138* PassThePopcorn:
139** She eats the bag of chips she had previously offered Sasuke while the battle between Naruto and Sasuke versus the Akatsuki wannabes rages outside the tower.
140** She also eats sweets whenever Boruto and Sarada bicker. Often thinking "I'm not getting involved..."
141* PinkMeansFeminine: Before graduating the Academy, Chocho used to wear a pink kimono with butterflies and her butterflies wings are pinkish.
142* PluckyComicRelief: She serves as one for the Scarlet Spring Month, bringing points of levity to break up the drama in the story.
143* PowerGivesYouWings: She is able to do the Butterfly Transformation technique, turning excess calories into chakra and growing pink chakra butterfly wings in the process. That said, unlike her father's perfected transformation, hers doesn't actually boost her power at all. In fact it weakens her, making it a jutsu that currently only has aesthetic value.
144* ProudBeauty: Except for her worries for weight, Chocho is quite delighted by her looks. She is careful to her clothing and make up, and tries to use her looks on others, but nobody seems to give her attention.
145* SassyBlackWoman: She acts this way.
146* SeriousBusiness: On the rare times Chocho is worked about something, is usually about boys or finding the perfect flavor of chips.
147* SheCleansUpNicely: Chocho was never presented unattractive to begin with, but when she goes Butterfly Mode, everybody is bewitched by how beautiful she is as a slender tall girl. She is even shown in {{Bishie Sparkle}}s from the point of view of some characters. Even [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Sarada blushes and ogles her for the most of ''Chocho's Arc'']].
148* SizeShifter: Her main power, as passed down from her family most notably the [[RightHandOfDoom Partial Expansion]] technique which is above the ability of fresh genin let alone an academy student.
149* SkewedPriorities: The reason she's worried about someone destroying the Academy is that it may destroy the food as well.
150* SmallNameBigEgo: Often talks how popular she is with boys. She isn't.
151* SmittenTeenageGirl: Chocho falls for every guy she deems as handsome.
152* StoutStrength: She has great striking power but fairly poor stamina.
153* StrongFamilyResemblance: She looks quite alike to both her parents, with her features and build resembling Chouji and her eyes/hair/skin color resembling Karui. Amusingly, she thinks she is living a ChangelingFantasy [[LikeFatherUnlikeSon because her personality is very different from theirs]].
154* ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: When it comes to boys, Chocho seems to believe that she lives in a romance novel. She has the impression every boy is in love with her and mistakes Mitsuki's roasting as declarations of his love for her, that she in her mind, has to turn them down.
155* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She is seen eating chips, just like a father, though is stated she likes foods just about anything.
156* {{Tsundere}}: Chocho is usually very straightforward with what she feels to the point of being InnocentlyInsensitive, but during her own arc, she started to act like the "hard to get " tsu-tsun with a tough and indifferent demeanor to get Tomaru to like her. It works.
157* TwoferTokenMinority: In a world where almost all the main characters are either Japanese or Caucasian coded, Chocho stands out among the children of the newest generation for being the only character who is a black-coded, somewhat chubby girl.

167----
168* ArtAttacker: He brings to life very colorful attacks.
169* ArtInitiatesLife: Like his father. He thinks his father's artistic sense is really old-fashioned, though, drawing more cartoon-like figures rather than his father's elaborate Chinese inspired designs.
170* BrutalHonesty: Like his father, he isn't afraid to say exactly what he thinks to people's faces and he doesn't even have the EmotionSuppression background his father has.
171* ButtMonkey: Chocho and Shikadai ditch him to slack off and leave him to face [[AlmightyMom Ino's]] wrath on his own.
172* CombatMedic: His data stats show that he has medical ninjutsu in his arsenal.
173* CoolSword: Like his father, he wields a short sword for close-quarters combat.
174* DeadpanSnarker: He is the smartass son of Ino and Sai for a reason.
175* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: "Riding on the Hokage's coattails, huh? Oops, '''did I just said that out loud'''?" ladies and gentlemen, Inojin's first spoken lines. And no, he didn't care about saying it loud.
176* FamilyThemeNaming: Yet another generation of Ino-Shika-Cho, [[GenerationXerox like his mother and grandfather, and at least 16 generations before that]], he's got "Ino" in his name.
177* FighterMageThief: When Boruto, Shikadai, and Inojin play their favourite RolePlayingGame together, Inojin is the [[SquishyWizard lightning shooting mage]]. Amongst the new Ino-Shika-Cho trio, he’s more frail and relies on the Super Beast Scroll and Mind Transfer Jutsu to defend himself.
178* TheForceIsStrongWithThisOne: He's a Sensor type like his mother, and while he is not particularly interested in developing sensing skills he respects the people who put hard work in this field.
179* GrandTheftMe: He has mastered the secret technique of the Yamanaka clan allowing him to take over peoples bodies with the Mind Transfer Jutsu. Albeit when he tries it on his mother she proves he's still got a lot to learn when she easily forces him back out of her mind.

181* HeterosexualLifePartners: His bio says he is always with his best friend Shikadai.
182* HorseOfADifferentColor: Like his father Inojin has the ability to create ink birds capable of carrying him.
183* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Like Ino and Sai, Inojin can be abrasive and caustic to his peers but he's a good kid deep down.
184* LikeParentLikeChild:
185** When Chōchō refuses to go along and instead goes to eat dango with Anko, he calls her fat, which showcased that he may have inherited a penchant for insensitivity from his father, Sai.
186** He also seems to have inherited the role of being the most motivated of the trio from his mother, Ino.
187* LineageComesFromTheFather: Inverted, emphasis is put on his mother's clan as a part of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, which is also reinforced by the fact that his father is a man who only ever knew himself by a CodeName.
188* LongHairedPrettyBoy: He is a blondy {{Bishonen}} with shoulder length hair kept in a ponytail.
189* TheMedic: He has affinity for Medical_Ninjutsu.
190* MouthyKid: Inojin can brazenly mouthy and insulting to pretty much everyone he meets.
191* NomDeMom: See above. Inojin has his mother's last name.
192* OddFriendship: With Himawari. Inojin even asks her of all people to teach him how to draw after a loss of inspiration/passion causes his Super Beast Scroll jutsu to stop working.
193* OnlySaneMan: He seems a little exasperated with his teammates' slacking and interest in eating.
194* PrettyBoy: He does somewhat favor his mother, though his pale skin is from Sai. Also described as a "pretty young man" in the Boruto novel.
195* SquishyWizard: While his chakra pool is pretty high and is adequate at kenjutsu and the Super Beast Scroll, Inojin’s physical abilities are lacking and against opponents that can counter his jutsu or [[spoiler: like Araya’s puppet]] durable enough to withstand his attacks or break free of the Mind Transfer, Inojin tends to fall quickly.
196* StrongFamilyResemblance: He's a mini-Sai with Ino's blond hair and eyes.
197* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: When Akkun died in his arms, Inojin wanted to play it like he didn't care.
198-->'''Inojin:''' What an idiot. Coming all the way here at the most dangerous time... He wasn't even human, but I guess he thought we were friends. Good riddance to that clay doll! He was... such an idiot! ''[[starts to cry uncontrollably]]''
199* {{Telepathy}}: He is able to use his clan's secret jutsu which allows for them to communicate telepathically at quite some distance, notably alerting his mother to Amado's arrival just outside the walls of the village.
