Symbol and Markings Guide


Shuriken
To help personalize their wardrobe and identify themselves, the ninja in the world of Naruto will often adopt certain markings. These can be clan symbols, tattoos and logos.

To view seals, please consult the General Seal Guide.


Smoke Grenade

Clothing Symbols

Akatsuki Clouds



Though they are a secretive organization, Akatsuki is known for wearing their striking black cloaks with the red cloud patterns.


Akimichi "Shoku" Symbol



Both Akimichi Choji and Chomaru bear the "shoku" (food) kanji on the front of their clothing. Known for their consumption of high calorie foods, the kanji character is fitting.


Fourth Hokage's Jacket Symbol



Over his normal ninja flak jacket and gear, the Fourth Hokage often wore a long white jacket with red flames along the bottom. Emblazoned on the back was the kanji for "Yondaime Hokage" (Fourth FireShadow).


Gamabunta's "Ebi" Symbol



The Toad boss Gamabunta wears a short kimono bearing the "ebi" (shrimp) kanji on its back. Ebi, when used in conjunction with another kanji, changes to form "gama," meaning toad. By itself "ebi" could possibly refer to Gamabunta's favorite food, or be a play on his size.


Hyuuga Hinata Jacket Symbol



Hinata wears this symbol on the upper right and left arms of her jacket. The symbol may be tied to Hinata's name, the kanji of which means "Sunny Place".


Jiraiya's "Abura" Symbol



Jiraiya wears a forehead protector bearing the "abura" (oil) kanji. The kanji comes from Jiraiya's title as Gama Sennin (Frog Hermit), where toad oil was thought to hold special medicinal properties.


Jiraiya's Toads' "Chuu" Symbol



Jiraiya often summons an orange man-sized toad to help in battle and also with which to hang out. The toad wears a necklace bearing the "chuu" (friendship/loyalty) kanji.


Kankurou Jumpsuit Symbol



While no explicit meaning is ever given, the colors utilized in both the symbol and suit itself are probably drawn from Kabuki as well. With black meaning terror and fear and the dark red meaning anger.


Nara Shikamaru Jacket Symbol



Shikamaru wears this symbol on the upper right and left arms and on the back of his jacket.


Nin-Dog "Henohenomoheji" Face Symbol



Hatake Kakashi's Nin-Dogs wear the "Henohenomoheji" hiragana face on their clothing. The hiragana characters for Henohenomoheji form the face itself. The first two "he" are the eyebrows, the first two "no" are the eyes, the "mo" is the nose, the next "he" is the mouth and the final "ji" forms the chin. This is often placed on the face of kakashi (scarecrow) in Japan.


Sound Five Tunic Symbol



The six members of the Sound Five (Kidoumaru, Jiroubou, Tayuya, Sakon, Ukon and Kimimaro) all wear this variation of the Yin-Yang symbol. The Yang portion which is white represents light, heaven and dominance. Here the light dominates, which prevents harmony in life.


Tsunade's "Kake" Symbol



The Legendary Sannin Tsunade wears the "kake" (gambling) kanji on the back of her robe. Known for her love of gambling, the symbol is fitting.


Uzumaki Naruto and Leaf Flak Jacket Symbol



Naruto wears this red swirl symbol on the back of his jacket. The symbol is worn on the standard uniform of the Chuunin and Jounin, being found on the upper arms and back of the flak jacket.


Zaku's "Shi" Symbol



The Sound ninja Abumi Zaku wears three "shi" (death) kanji down the front of his shirt.

Official Logos

Konoha Military Police Symbol



Founded by the ancestors of the modern Uchiha clan, the Police Corps incorporates the Uchiha fan and a four-cornered star.


Medical-Nin "I" Symbol



Doctors in the Leaf medical squad bear the "I" (doctor) kanji on their left breast.


Sasori Puppet Stamp



Sasori of the Red Sands was a master puppet maker. To that end he stamped all his works with his official scorpion mark. Kankurou's puppets were from his line of creations.


Uchiha Clan Symbol



Drawn from the meaning of the term "Uchiha" in Japanese, the Uchiha clan has adopted a fan as their clan symbol.


Body Marks

ANBU Tattoo



This tattoo is worn by ANBU members of their upper left arm.


Gaara's "Ai" Tattoo



Gaara used his sand to scar the kanji of "ai" (love) into his forehead.


Jiraiya's Cheek Marks



Jiraiya has two red marks on his face which start at his eyes and run down his cheeks. These have been present on his cheeks from his youngest appearance in the series, growing longer and larger as he aged.


Jiraiya's Summoning Tattoo



Jiraiya has this tattoo on the palm of his left hand. Whenever he wants to summoning a frog, he will bite he right thumb to draw blood and then wipe it across this tattoo on his left palm. It should be noted that this tattoo has appeared about 4 times in the series, and each time Kishimoto has drawn it differently. What it displayed to the left comes from when Kishimoto drew it the largest and clearest.


Kankurou Kabuki Face Paint (Initial)



When Kankurou first appears in the series, he wears this kabuki face paint. In kabuki, purple color make-up is sometimes used to represent nobility, which makes sense as Kankurou's father is Kazekage.


Kankurou Kabuki Face Paint (Second)



When Kankurou appears again later in the series, he has modified the look of his kabuki facial paint.


Kankurou Kabuki Face Paint (Third)



When Kankurou appears yet again later in the series, he has modified the look of his kabuki facial paint.


"Karasu" Mark



Kankurou's puppet Karasu has the "karasu" (crow) kanji on its chin.


Kimimaro's "Maro Mayu" Mark



Drawn from the Heian era, Kimimaro has the mayu (eyebrow) mark commonly found on the noble class (who used the formal "maro" to refer to themselves).


Mizuki's "Chakra Enhancing" Formula Mark



This skull was placed on Mizuki in the past by Orochimaru. This skull contained one of Orochimaru's experimental formulas. If the formula was mixed and ingested, the ninja would be granted the genetic power of an animal. Unfortunately the formula was not perfected and power fades soon after, leaving the ninja a weakened shadow of their former self.

Orochimaru's Summoning Tattoo



Orochimaru wears this snake-like tattoo on his left arm. The tattoo itself runs fully around the length of his forearm. When Orochimaru needs to summon Manda or another great snake, he will draw blood and run it along the length of the tattoo, terminating the wipe at the head portion.


Rasengan Training Tattoo



Jiraiya wears this tattoo on the palm of his right hand. He also placed an ink version of this tattoo on Naruto's palm. The tattoo is used to concentrate the wearers focus when controlling the swirling of their chakra in their palm. By focusing on this one spot, the wearers mind stabilizes and is capable of extracting great power.


Tsunade's Forehead Mark



The Legendary Sannin Tsunade bears a mark on her forehead. This is not a tattoo or beauty mark, it is a chakra gathering point for her Souzou Saisei technique. Releasing this massive amount of built up chakra in battle allows the cells of her body to hasten the creation of new cells. This allows her to heal her wounds.


Uzumaki Naruto's Kyuubi Cheek Whiskers



After the Kyuubi was placed into his body, three facial markings appeared on Naruto's cheeks. When Naruto gets very angry and his uncontrolled Kyuubi power leaks out, the whiskers grow in size and become more feral looking.
