Fan Nickname/Anime and Manga/Naruto

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Fan Nicknames for Naruto include:

  • Bunny Foo-Foo, The Foxrabbit - The Fanfiction Forum's nickname for the Kyuubi.
  • Deus Ex Machingan - The Sharingan eye, especially as its powers have started to enter the Lensman Arms Race.
  • Emo-duck - Sasuke, arising from his Wangst and the resemblance of his hairstyle to a duck's ass.
    • "Raven Butthead" - Referring to Sasuke's, at times, jerkass-ish behavior and hairstyle that looks like a duck butt.
    • Duckbutt McCrazy - Also referring to said duck butt. And the crazy.
    • Saucegay, Gay Sauce - An affectionate nickname from fangirls who love their Ho Yay. It is often used in a derogatory matter.
    • Other Sasuke nicknames include Sauce-kay, Sa-SOO-kay (coming from the German opening), and Saucecakes.
    • Sasuke is often dubbed "The Sauce" by die-hard fans and die-hard haters alike.
    • Yaoi fans who prefer Sasuke as the Uke in their pairing of choice sometimes render his name as "Sas-Uke". Very common for haters too.
    • The Ultimate Poser. Could also apply to any other character with the "rare" Sharingan skill.
    • Now officially Dr. Snakes, thanks to Itachi's idea.
  • Fillain - Derogatory name given to main villains in filler arcs with generic motives. While not Naruto-specific, per se, use of the term was propagated by the Naruto fandom.
  • Kishi - Masashi Kishimoto (series creator). Kishi-Baka to those that question his recent story decisions.
  • Naruko - Naruto's "Sexy Jutsu" form.
  • Narutard, Dattebayo - The series, as referred to by annoyed non-fans.
    • "Narutard" is also a mildly pejorative term for Naruto fans, sometime reappropriated by Naruto fans.
  • O-chan and K-Fed - for the coldblooded villains Orochimaru and Kabuto.
  • Sailor Hinata - Hinata for a scence in a filler episode where she practices twirling around over water, nude and silhouetted by moonlight, in a way that resembles a Magical Girl's Transformation Sequence.
  • ToMaTo - the name given to the character whose identity was severely conflicted until recently; is he merely Tobi, Madara, or Obito? This, combined with the guy's actual resemblance to a tomato, led to the affectionate moniker.
    • Who?
    • The Mask, because he's constantly wearing one, and it's hard to be sure of who's under it. At least this name can't be Jossed.
  • The series itself is sometimes called "Sasuke", in reference to the fact that it recently seems like Sasuke, not Naruto himself, is the main character.
  • Nathan the Ninja - The hypothetical Americanized name for the series if it was dubbed by 4Kids! Entertainment.
  • Kabuchimaru - Kabuto, after his appearance once he'd absorbed Orochimaru.
    • Kabutops, derived from the above, by the fact that Kabuto had evolved.
  • Some Sakura-haters are fond of the moniker "Pink Roach" or "Pink Banshee".
    • Even more sophomoric ones might use "Suckura".
    • Or "Failkura".
    • Likewise, Karin is most often referred to simply as "The Whore" or "Skankrin" by many special SasuSaku fans, but also from many haters who despise her unhealthy infatuation with "The Sauce".
  • Before his name was revealed, the leader of the Akatsuki was often referred to by fans as Sir Leader.
  • Gaara, The Pimpkage. A nickname bestowed on Gaara by his loyal fans.
  • Pimpkage can also be applied to the Raikage, after he pimpslapped Sasuke out of his Amaterasu shield.
  • Dei-dei is an affectionate nickname bestowed upon Deidara.
    • Patrick Star: Deidara's giant suicidal explosion in Chapter 362 that looks like a sillhouette of Patrick.
  • Before her name was revealed, Konan was sometimes referred to simply as "Blue", on account of her blue hair.
  • Sand Siblings - The Sibling Team of Gaara, Kankuro and Temari.
  • Plot no Jutsu - The fandom's term for New Powers as the Plot Demands.
    • The Great Snake Escape - The nickname given to a particularly inexplicable example of the above when Sasuke escaped Deidara's suicide explosion by summoning Manda (a giant snake), controlled it with genjutsu, and then teleported it away with some ability which was not elaborated on or mentioned again. After the explosion had already gone off not ten feet from him.. While out of chakra.
  • Satan Shield - Sasuke's version of Susanoo, as his own hate/inner darkness is apparently the reason for its generally demonic appearance (dark aura, huge horns).
  • Therapy Jutsu - Naruto's ability to make his oppponents flash back to their tragic past during a fight, Naruto tells them why they're being stupid, and it changes the course of their whole life.
    • Also sometimes called Jesus-no-jutsu or Talk-no-jutsu and Naruto is sometimes called Ninja Jesus due to this tendency.
  • The events of Chapter 467 have led people to call Madara Uchiha's master plan Instrumentality (see the series directly below this one).
    • The place he sends Karin and Sasuke to in that same chapter has also been called "The box dimension" or occasionally "Hueco Mundo".
  • Kisame's merger with his sword in Chapter 471 was quickly given the moniker of Kisamehada. Some even call it his Bankai or Resurrecion.
  • Curse Hickey - Orochimaru's Curse Seal that he applies via his teeth.
  • What Danzo's arm turned out to be was quickly dubbed "the Sharingarm"
    • "Oh Danny-boy, the eyes, the eyes are calling!/From clan to clan, especially Sharingan/The Uchiha are gone/And your sclera are dying..."
    • Also, Chapter 478 has the "Shodar," seeing as Danzo also implanted the cells of the First (Shodaime) Hokage in the shoulder to gain his power, which has what may be the First Hokage's face on his shoulder.
  • Aloe Vera - Zetsu, although this nickname was coined by Naruto himself
  • After his filler One-Winged Angel stint, Mizuki was rechristened as Tony The Tiger (sometimes "on crack" is appended to the end).
  • As of chapter 489 ZombiTachi for Itachi (along with the other deceased Akatsuki members) after being resurrected as a zombie by Kabuto's use of Orochimaru's technique.
  • And some Uchiha haters dub them as being masters of the "Art of Run".
  • There's also "Uchihahaha" for Itachi's Not So Stoic moment in chapter 386 and Sasuke's Laughing Mad moment in chapter 483.
  • Fuck You Fodder Nin - This guy
  • The 40-Year-Old Genin: Manabu Akado, a genin who looks a like a middle-aged banker seen in the first round of the chunin exam.
  • Dan The Ninja: Tsunade's dead boyfriend, named Dan. Because of the laughably un-ninjalike nature of his name.
  • Sharinnegan: The 10-Tailed Beast's massive eye, which is a combination of rinnegan and Sharingan.
  • Bitchkage/Trollkage: the Second Mizukage. Before anything was known about him, it was decided that he looked like a bitch. Then, Word of God confirmed his personality was pretty bitchy. Then when he decided to stop bitching, he kept inadvertently trolling the fanbase and the rest of the characters.
  • GARuto following Naruto's taking a level in badass.
