Naruto seems like the most popular character to ever arrive in Fortnite

Over the years, a wide range of big names have arrived in Fortnite as cosmetic items. This includes fictional characters such as Kratos and Master Chief as well as real life celebrities such as Ariana Grande and Travis Scott.

Surprisingly, none of these skins were able to generate as much hype as the potential Naruto skin. He is the protagonist of the fourth-most selling manga anime series ever, that has sold over 250 million copies worldwide.

The anime industry is more popular than ever at the moment. Naruto is a part of the 'Big Three' alongside Bleach and One Piece, implying that millions of people who watch anime are most likely aware of the young ninja. This certainly explains the sky-scraping hype behind a skin of this particular character.
