"BORUTO" is a hugely popular serialized manga. Its predecessor, "NARUTO," is so popular that everyone knows about it, and it was a hot topic as the story of the next generation of characters from "NARUTO." The main character is "Boruto," the son of Naruto and Hinata, and the heroine is "Sarada," the daughter of Sasuke and Sakura. There are many other characters that appear in "BORUTO," but in this article we will introduce the mysterious character "Mitsuki." Mitsuki often acts together with Boruto and Sarada, but what kind of character is he?
Who is Mitsuki?
"Mitsuki" is one of the new generation of Konoha ninjas who transferred from another village (Otogakure) and enrolled in the Ninja Academy. He lives alone in Konoha in a one-room apartment and only eats nutritional supplements. He has light blue hair and striking yellow eyes, and is characterized by his transparent appearance. His personality gives the impression that he is somewhat elusive, but he also shows a caring side that cares for his friends, and he acts together with Boruto and Sarada.
Mitsuki after graduating from the academy
After graduating from the Ninja Academy, Boruto remained in Konoha and joined Sarutobi Konohamaru's squad (squad 7) with Boruto and Sarada. He also told Boruto and Sarada's parents (Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura) that his parents were very great. There was a lot of talk about who Mitsuki's parents were, but it will be revealed at the end of the movie.
Mitsuki's parents...?
At first, it was not revealed who Mitsuki's parent was, but later it was revealed that it was Orochimaru. Sarada, who knows Orochimaru, was quite upset to hear this. Rather than being a parent, he was officially an artificially created android, and did not give birth to a child in the normal way. (Sarada also asks if Orochimaru is the father or mother, but it seems that it doesn't matter to Mitsuki.) Incidentally, it was also revealed here that Mitsuki's real name is "Mitsuki".
Do other characters know?
This is a pretty shocking fact, but do all the other characters know about it? Some of the upper echelons, such as Uzumaki Naruto, Nara Shikamaru, and Aburame Shino, knew about it and placed Mitsuki in the village with full knowledge. However, at first, they hid this fact from Tsunade and Konohamaru, Mitsuki's jonin. Konohamaru in particular had his grandfather killed by Orochimaru. When Konohamaru found out about this fact later, he was quite upset, but he took the time to accept it and began to think of Mitsuki as Mitsuki and Orochimaru as Orochimaru.
A thorough introduction to Mitsuki's abilities!
As expected of the son of Orochimaru, Mitsuki has some very strong abilities. His body is flexible and he can summon snakes just like Orochimaru. From here on, we will introduce Mitsuki's techniques in detail.
① Wild Snake
This is the main attacking method used by Mitsuki. His arms can be stretched and contracted by "soft modification", and can be used for both attack and defense.
② Hidden Shadow Snake Hand
This is an advanced version of the summoning technique used by Orochimaru. He summons snakes from his sleeves and attacks his opponents by surprise. When this skill develops, he can summon many snakes at once.
③Wind Release: Breakthrough
This is the basic form of the Wind Release: Great Breakthrough that Orochimaru also used, and he can create a storm with his chakra.
④Lightning Release: Snake Lightning
This attack uses snake-shaped chakra to restrain the opponent and hit them with lightning and electricity. Boruto also acquired this by imitating Mitsuki's.
⑤Sage Mode
In this world, "Sage Mode" refers to the transformation form that a ninja can use when using sage arts. Mitsuki has been able to master this "Sage Mode" since birth, but Orochimaru has told him not to use it carelessly. Although it is compatible with Senjutsu chakra, it seems that there are still some areas that are lacking in terms of combat ability and duration.
Mitsuki's voice actor is Ryuichi Kijima
Mitsuki's voice actor is Ryuichi Kijima. Born in Hokkaido on March 29, 1985, he is affiliated with Mausu Promotion. His hobbies include collecting stuffed pigs, gardening, muscle training, and traveling. He seems to especially love pigs, and the name of his Nico Nico program is "Ryuichi Kijima's This Pig Guy." Also, when you think of Kijima Ryuichi, many people may think of the male voice actor rap project "Hypnosis Mic". Kijima Ryuichi plays "Izō Hifumi", a member of the Shinjuku Division.
What are his main appearances?
Kijima Ryuichi has appeared in various works other than Hypnosis Mic. For example, he played the role of Utsugi Lenka in "God Eater", the role of Manjusri Bodhisattva in "Namu Amida Butsu! -Rendai UTENA-", and the role of the pig Ryuichi in "Mouse Zoo Masterpiece Theater". Ryuichi Kijima also played many supporting roles in "NARUTO" before, and was selected for the role of Mitsuki. Currently, he plays supporting roles in "BORUTO" when Mitsuki is not on screen.
A summary of Mitsuki, a character from [BORUTO]
That's all for the summary of Mitsuki, a character from "BORUTO". What did you think? Mitsuki is a mysterious character, but it's surprising that he was created by Orochimaru. He can also use a wide variety of abilities, so he is one of the characters whose future activities are very exciting to watch. The manga and anime of "BORUTO" are currently being serialized to great acclaim, and we are already looking forward to seeing what kind of adventures the characters will show in the future!
