More than twenty years for Naruto without hearing them. Masashi Kishimoto’s manga always remains relevant, with a large number of readers – or viewers, for those who prefer anime – discovering or rediscovering it every year. The history of this ninja remains written in stone indeed one of the most famous shonen in history.

To celebrate the anime’s 20th anniversary, the Narutop99 poll was launched to i 99 of the most popular Naruto characters in the world. And so, week after week, the users voted and won Minato Namikaze, the fourth Hokage, who will also be the protagonist of a short manga. However, the results were presented in a special way: alongside the illustration with the twenty most voted characters, created by Masashi Kishimoto, a video was shot with them.

The ranking in Top 20 Most Popular Naruto Characters Video starts, of course, from the twentieth position occupied by Rock Lee with 39,325 votes. It goes up from there, through Hashirama, Gaara, Jiraiya, Sasuke, Naruto and everyone else, filling the three main positions, in order from lowest to highest, Sakura Haruno with 489,619 votes, Itachi Uchiha with 505,014 votes and finally Minato with 792,257 votes. A huge gap for the Fourth Hokage, who didn’t stand a chance of defeat.

This is also confirmed byinfographic with naruto poll votes over time, which shows how Itachi and Minato were originally paired, with a few more points for the Uchiha, but around the holiday season things changed radically with the Hokage turbo-charging. What surprised instead was Sakura, who received a consistent and enormous number of votes every day in January, even going so far as to undermine the second position of Itachi, who in the meantime had split from the other positions both above and below .
