Chikara
CharacterChikara is the current daimyo of the Land of Noodles, a flamboyant lord styled like a rock star. Romantic and proud, he is betrothed to Princess Fuku through an arranged match, and he prizes a woman's fuller figure over slimness.
Appearance
Heavyset and dressed like a rock star, Chikara turns heads in a red-and-white shirt left partly unbuttoned to bare a hairy chest. A silver chain hangs at his neck, finished with a pendant cut in the shape of a star. His overall look draws comparison to an Elvis impersonator of the singer's heavier Las Vegas years.
Personality
A romantic streak runs deep in him, and much like Choji Akimichi he bristles at being called fat. He is a man of strong appetites who openly prefers fuller-figured women, treats flowers as something close to a blessing, and struck Ino as thoroughly full of himself.

Princess Fuku, hoping to shed some weight before meeting him, hires Ino Yamanaka and Naruto Uzumaki to stand in for her, a ruse the two cannot sustain for long.

Having heard the princess praise him as handsome and desirable, Ino and Naruto are startled by the reality, though his fawning attendants plainly share Fuku's high opinion of him.
