Who are Chocho Akimichi's parents?

Her father is Choji Akimichi (Akimichi clan of Konoha) and her mother is Karui, a kunoichi originally from Kumogakure. This mixed heritage gives Chocho her mother's dark skin and amber eyes, and her father's brown hair.

Which team is she on and who is her sensei?

She is part of the new Team 10 (Team Moegi) with Shikadai Nara and Inojin Yamanaka — the new generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio — under the leadership of the jonin Moegi. Not to be confused with the parents' Team 10, once led by Asuma.

What is her connection to Sarada Uchiha?

Was she really adopted?

No. In Gaiden, she convinces herself for a time that she was adopted or that she is the secret daughter of another man: it is pure comic relief, never confirmed. Choji really is her father.

Which techniques does she use?

The body expansion techniques of the Akimichi clan: the Multi-Size Technique, the Human Bullet Tank, and above all Butterfly Mode, which she can activate without the clan's colored pills by converting her calories into chakra.

Daughter of Choji and Karui

Chocho is the daughter of Choji Akimichi and Karui, a kunoichi originally from Kumogakure. From her mother she gets her dark skin and amber eyes; from her father, her brown hair.

This mixed heritage between the Hidden Leaf and the Hidden Cloud makes her a character with a dual culture — a rare trait in her generation.

At a restaurant counter, a dark-skinned woman with long red hair, a young girl with orange hair styled in two puffs and a heavyset man in green clothing eat in front of a row of empty bowls. — Chocho seated at the table between her parents: Karui, a kunoichi from Kumogakure, and Choji Akimichi.

The New Ino-Shika-Cho Trio

In Boruto, Chocho makes up the new generation of the famous Ino-Shika-Cho trio, within the new Team 10, with Shikadai Nara and Inojin Yamanaka.

Their sensei is the jonin Moegi. Not to be confused, then, with the parents' Team 10, once led by Asuma — same lineup, next generation.

Three dust-covered young genin side by side: a girl with orange hair in a pink top, a blond boy in a hooded sweatshirt and apron, a brown-haired boy with a ponytail in a green jacket. — The new Team 10 in full: Chocho, Inojin Yamanaka and Shikadai Nara.

The Expansion Techniques

Like every Akimichi, Chocho wields the body expansion techniques of the clan: the Multi-Size Technique, the Human Bullet Tank, and above all Butterfly Mode.

Notably, she can activate this Butterfly Mode without the clan's colored pills, by converting her calories into chakra — even if her very first attempts remain clumsy. An affinity for Lightning Release, inherited from Kumogakure, is also attributed to her, mainly in the anime.

Her Role in Naruto Gaiden

In Naruto Gaiden, Chocho is not the teammate of Sarada but her classmate and close friend: still students at the Ninja Academy, they leave the village together.

After graduating, they will be assigned to different teams — Sarada to Team 7, Chocho to Team 10. Their friendship therefore comes before, and outlasts, their assignments.

Two teenage girls pass through a village gate, shoulder bags slung across them: one with orange hair and amber eyes in a pink outfit, the other with black hair and red glasses. — Leaving the village alongside Sarada: in Gaiden, Chocho is her Ninja Academy friend, not her teammate.

An Unapologetic Food Lover

Confident, image-conscious and an utterly unapologetic food lover, Chocho often serves as comic relief, a bag of chips in hand. In Gaiden, she even convinces herself for a time that she was adopted.

This doubt is only a gag: Choji really is her father, and the illusion fades. Her true contrast with him is this complete absence of self-consciousness — she wears her relationship with food as a point of pride.

In front of a taiyaki stand, a girl with orange hair makes her choice at the counter between two boys and a girl with glasses; yellow wrappers litter the ground. — The wrappers on the ground say it all: Chocho's unapologetic appetite often serves as comic relief.
