Naruto QuizAnime & GamesAbout this Guess the Anime Character quiz
This guess the anime character quiz gives you 15 rounds of clues about some of the most famous heroes, rivals and sidekicks in Japanese animation. Instead of pictures, each round describes a character through their powers, backstory, signature moves or a short emoji string, so you have to know the story and not just recognise a face.
The rounds start with easy picks from long-running shows like One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball and Pokémon, move through modern hits such as Demon Slayer, Attack on Titan and Jujutsu Kaisen, and finish with harder clues from classics like Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Spirited Away. That mix makes this guess the anime character game fun for new fans who started last year as well as veterans who grew up on late-night anime.
Play it solo to test yourself, race a friend to see who scores higher, or use it as an anime quiz round at a club meet-up. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so even a wrong guess teaches you something about the series.
Fun fact: Naruto Uzumaki shares his name with narutomaki, the white-and-pink swirled fish cake that often sits on top of a bowl of ramen, his favourite food.
