The Boruto series sees Naruto Uzumaki's generation of shinobi take on the bigger roles and responsibilities in the village as the next generation begins their ninja journeys. With Naruto Uzumaki as the Hokage, the world enjoys the peace that everyone has fought so hard to create throughout the history of shinobi.
Boruto has shown a lot of promise so far, with each chapter making the story more intriguing than ever. As such, the fans have already been introduced to a number of characters who play an influential role in the story and have become quite popular.
10 Kashin Koji Is A Clone Of The Legendary Jiraiya
Kashin Koji was introduced in Boruto as a villain, and he posed as a member of Kara until recently. When the opportunity arose, Koji went against Jigen, and it was revealed to the fans that he was actually a clone of Jiraiya, who died at the hands of Pain in Naruto. Jiraiya, being one of the most lovable characters in the Naruto series, immediately garnered more love for Kashin Koji. Furthermore, Koji is an extremely calm person whose personality felt intriguing from the get-go, making him even more fun to watch.
9 Konohamaru Sarutobi Has Taken The Stage As Team 7's Leader
Just like Kashin Koji, Konohamaru Sarutobi is one of the most loved characters in the story. Having grown up in front of the fans from the Naruto days, it is no surprise that Boruto fans love him as much as they do. Konohamaru has also finally become a Jonin and is in charge of Team 7, meaning he has big responsibilities on his shoulders. Fans have high expectations for Konohamaru, and eventually, he'll live up to them.
8 Kakashi Hatake Remains As Cool As Ever In Boruto
Kakashi Hatake became the Sixth Hokage of Konohagakure after the events of the Fourth Great Ninja War, and in doing so, he's only become more loved by the fans. Although he's no longer as active now that Naruto has taken the position, the love that fans have for him remains. Kakashi makes an appearance in Boruto at times and remains cool as ever. His extraordinary skills as a shinobi, understanding of what makes a true ninja, and his calm and collected demeanor make him one of the fan-favorites even in Boruto.
7 Himawari Uzumaki Makes Boruto Heartwarming To Watch
Naruto's daughter Himawari Uzumaki is quite an amazing character who, although not a ninja yet, plays a great role in the story. Himawari is shown to be extremely smart for her age and, unlike Boruto, she's a bright presence.
Episodes with Himawari are quite limited in the story, but she makes every appearance count, and those moments are especially heartwarming. Without a doubt, Himawari remains one of the most likable Boruto characters.
6 Boruto Uzumaki Is Becoming More Likable By The Episode
Fans' initial opinion of Boruto Uzumaki wasn't nearly as good as one would've hoped. However, he has progressed a lot since then. Following the Momoshiki Otsutsuki arc, Boruto has shown great growth as both a shinobi and a person. His relationship with his father has only gone on to improve, and his motivations are far better understood. Boruto is certainly not a character whom everyone loves, but he is one of the most respectable characters in the story.
5 Mitsuki Is An Extremely Straightforward Character
Mitsuki is one of the main characters in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. As a member of Team 7, he is always in the spotlight, but interestingly, he offers something much different from Boruto. Mitsuki is quite a smart character who uses his wits in battle. Being Orochimaru's son, he's incredibly versatile in combat. However, unlike his parent, Mitsuki is very kind and straightforward. Often, he appears to be far more innocent than the others, yet at the same time, he understands most situations better than the rest, which is what makes him likable.
4 Sarada Uchiha Aims To Become The Next Hokage Of Konohagakure
Sarada Uchiha is the daughter of Sasuke and Sakura, and unlike Boruto Uzumaki, she aims to become the Hokage of the village in the future. Sarada is one of the main characters in the story, which provides her with many opportunities to win over fans.
Her kind personality, along with her drive to follow in the footsteps of Naruto Uzumaki and become Hokage, gives fans a reason to root for her. Being an Uchiha also adds to her likability, considering how popular the likes of Sasuke and Itachi are in the franchise.
3 Kawaki Has A Very Saddening & Traumatic Past
Kawaki is one of the main characters in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. Introduced shortly after the Ao arc, he immediately struck the fans as an intriguing character with a story to tell. As the series dove deeper into his past, Kawaki easily became one of the best characters Boruto had to offer. His traumatic past experiences with his father and Jigen made it very easy for everyone to feel for him and support his journey, making him extremely likable.
2 Sasuke Uchiha's Redemption Makes Him Better Than Ever Before
Sasuke Uchiha was arguably the most important Naruto character alongside Naruto Uzumaki, and his role in Boruto is also quite massive because of that. Although Sasuke's character walked a fine line between hero and villain in Naruto, he ended up following Naruto Uzumaki and returned to the village after the war. Boruto sees Sasuke defend the village and its people with his life while redeeming himself in the process.
1 Naruto Uzumaki Is The Core Of The Story Even Today
Naruto Uzumaki is the protagonist of Naruto and a main character in Boruto as well. Naruto is one of the main reasons for Boruto's ever-growing popularity and continues to be an inspiration to countless fans. He's the greatest creation of Masashi Kishimoto, and it goes without saying that Naruto Uzumaki will always be the essence of the franchise. His ability to fight against all odds and never give up resonates deeply within thousands of fans. Undoubtedly, Naruto Uzumaki is the most likable character in Boruto.
