When: Saturday, July 23, 2022 - SDCC Panel at 10:30am - 11:30am PST. WHO: VIZ Media,
the #1 destination for manga in America and home to some of the most
prestigious anime brands driving the industry, will host a panel at this
year’s Comic Con, to celebrate the beloved NARUTO franchise; the epic adventures of the world’s greatest ninja!
Naruto
is the definitive force behind Japanese pop culture in America, its
influence and style. With masterful art and epic storytelling, the young
ninja who seeks recognition from his peers and dreams of becoming the
Hokage, today inspires millions of people across generations on a daily
basis.
Setting
sales records at over 250 million manga copies sold globally, Naruto’s
cultural impact is vast; from musicians like Cardi B and Lil Uzi Vert
referencing the ninja in their lyrics, to NFL players mimicking Naruto’s
actions after making a touchdown, and to the viral sensation and meme
that is the Naruto Run – the storming of Nevada’s Area 51, all make Naruto an icon of our time.
Fun Facts:
• Now in its 20th year of the serialization
• 4th best-selling manga of all time
• Ranked #1 in Hulu’s Anime category
• 6th all-time most popular program on Hulu
• Over 3 million home video units sold
WHAT: Come and celebrate NARUTO with fantastic voice actors Amanda C. Miller(Boruto) and Tom Gibis (Shikamaru). Joining us on stage is basketball star, Jordan Brand athlete and hardcore NARUTO fan Zion Williamson!
Find out how NARUTO has inspired him and his latest Jordan Brand
collaboration. In addition, all attendees will get a limited edition
NARUTO anniversary poster!

Gecco announced the Naruto Shippuden 1/6 Scale Bust. The first 3 to be made is Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura.
This bust collection features 3 ninjas at a time (three-man cell) from "Naruto Shippuden." Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura mark the start of this exciting series. The characters are recreated in 1/6th scale, a statue size Gecco excels at. This scale is the perfect size to capture the sensitive facial expressions, atmosphere and to sculpt every single detail of the costume without compromise. While the "Bust Format" is utilized to pursue both affordable and collectible item, the body cut lines are thoroughly calculated to make the characters even more attractive.
