Choji Akimichi

Choji Akimichi (秋道 チョウジ Akimichi Chōji^?) is a member of Team 10 who is typified by his deep love for food to the extent that he always has a snack with him during the series. Though his habit of always eating gives him a relatively large appearance, Choji insists he is not fat, instead using explanations like being "big-boned". If someone refers to him as fat, Choji instantly becomes hostile and increases his resolve to battle.^[ch. 55] Shikamaru Nara has never found an issue with Choji's weight, instead choosing to look upon Choji's inner strength. Because of this, Choji regards him as his best friend, stating he would willingly give his life to defend Shikamaru.^[ch. 190] In battle, Choji can increase the size of his body to improve the amount of damage his strikes deal upon impact.^[ch. 189] His voice actor in the Japanese anime is Kentaro Ito and his English voice actor is Robbie Rist.^[20][11]
