Shinta
CharacterShinta is a young boy living in Konohagakure, remembered mainly for a childhood slight against Chōji Akimichi. Blunt to a fault, he speaks his mind without weighing how his words land, and his design later resurfaced as a background cameo in the anime.
Appearance
Two rectangular marks sit on Shinta's cheeks, a detail that echoes the ones worn by Rin. His hair is kept cropped short in a dark brown shade, with eyes to match. His usual outfit pairs a green pageboy cap with a grey shirt and dark-coloured trousers.
Personality
Shinta comes across as self-absorbed, quick to blurt out whatever crosses his mind. Whether the remark stings the listener does not seem to factor into what he decides to say.

History
As children, Shinta brushed off Chōji Akimichi when the other boy wanted to join a game of make-believe ninja. He dismissed Chōji as useless, ignoring that turning him away left the sides unbalanced. A boy built on the same character design turns up briefly in the 212th episode of the original anime, and a comparable-looking child named Toshi later appears in a Naruto video game.
