NARUTOP99

NARUTOP99 character poll results revealed

During last December’s Jump Festa, the ultimate Naruto character poll called NARUTOP99 was announced. Fans from around the world could vote for their favourite character from Masashi Kishimoto’s manga, and the winning character would get their own one-shot manga.

Polls were open between December 17th, 2022 until January 31st, 2023, limited to one vote a day, with the results being revealed in April 2023.

The wait is now over, with the outcome posted in a 17-minute long video shared on YouTube. Approximately 4.6 million votes were cast across 45 days with the clear winner declared as the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

Kishimoto had originally planned to draw the top 20 characters, but decided to add both Might Guy and Kurama, numbers 21 and 22 respectively, in the artwork. He was hoping to include the Nine Tails as he figured the fox demon would break the top 20, but did so anyways.
