Tips & Warnings
Dressing up as a character from a Japanese cartoon (or "anime") is also known as cosplay and involves some role-playing. No matter what Naruto character you choose, you'll be expected to know something about his personality and mannerisms and to act accordingly.
Included with the fun of role play and cosplay is knowing your friends from your enemies. Due to the variety of characters on the show, there are a number of love triangles and rivalries that you should know about. For example, Sasuke and Naruto are bitter rivals; don't forget to act the part.
