Profile

Choji Akimichi (秋道チョウジ, Akimichi Chōji?) is a long-time friend of Shikamaru Nara. When his fellow peers would keep Choji from playing with them because of his size, Shikamaru would stick up for him and spend time with him instead of playing with the others. Because of Shikamaru's willingness to look past Choji's deficiencies and recognize his true strength, Choji came to view Shikamaru as his best friend who he would do anything for. Choji is characterized by his love for food, his favorite being Korean barbecue, general snacks and sweets, and basically anything that is edible. His nigh-constant hunger is a frequent annoyance for his teammates, as satiating himself often comes before other necessities such as stealth and teamwork. Despite his eating habits Choji is very sensitive about his size and becomes highly agitated when somebody calls him "fat" (he refers to himself as "big boned," "chubby," or "pleasingly plump"). Once called "fat," Choji's resolve to fight is elevated to new levels and he becomes much more hostile to his opponents. In Part II he starts to look more muscular than obese, causing him to look like he always claimed he did: big-boned. Even with this new look, he is apparently still sensitive about his size, and others (with the exception of Naruto) make it a point to avoid using the word "fat" around him.

As a member of the Akimichi clan, Choji's style of combat focuses on increasing his size. At the series' start he uses the Multi-Size Technique to serve this purpose, reshaping him into a large, round form. Once in this form he can use Human Bullet Tank (肉弾戦車, Nikudan Sensha?, Viz "Human Juggernaut", English TV "Human Boulder Jutsu") to tuck his limbs inside his increased mass and roll at opponents at rapid speeds. Choji sees a number of advancements in Part II; the Multi-Size Technique, while still increasing his size, no longer makes him round. This more manageable form gives him better maneuverability, as he can now fight as he normally would only with the added bonus of his increased size. While he is seen using the Partial Multi-Size Technique in Part I, Choji also becomes more adept with it in Part II, and is now able to use it with little effort and with a better reaction time.

Bio:
Full Name: Akimichi Chouji
Age: 13
Birthday: 01 May
Zodiac: Taurus
Rank: Genin
From: Leaf
Teacher: Asuma
Teammates: Nara Shikamaru, Yamanako Ino
Main jutsu : Baika no jutsu (Meat Tank Technique)
Bane: Being called a fatass and stealing his last piece of chip.

Background: Chouji is from the Akimichi clan of Konoha and best friend of Shikamaru.

The Deal with him: Your first impression of him must have been "that fatass in Ino's group". Chouji is almost the definition of 'Gluttony'. He is a compulsive eater and he has got this really cool waistpouch that looks small but can contain bags of potato chips AND a cake.

Chouji's choice of the ninja headband looks suspiciously like an inverted underwear. He is mild-mannered and would avoid as many fights as possible, believing he'd lose anyway. Unless, of course, if you call label him a 'fatass'. Then he'd morph into a giant meatball and flatten you.

Chouji grew up with people making fun of him because he's fat and soft-spoken but don't look down on this butterfly. Besides turning himself into a meat tank, Chouji also has his clan's ultimate Houren pills to increase his chakra (though they come with great side effects). The 3 pills that reflect the traffic light colours lend him momentary great power when he take them. The final red pill though, not only increases his power to a hundred times and changes his voice but also doubles as an instant slimming pill.The drawback is that the user may very likely suffer from overdose and die.

During the Sasuke-hunt, Chouji demonstrated his pills' abilities when he fought Jiroubu of the Sound 4 (aka The Fight of the Fat Asses).
