Jump to navigation Jump to search

Itachi Uchiha is a major supporting character and an anti-villain in the Naruto franchise created by Masashi Kishimoto. A member of Konohagakure's famed Uchiha clan and the older brother of Sasuke, Itachi is introduced as a nuke-nin (missing ninja) and a member of the villainous Akatsuki group, where he is partnered with the shark-looking Kisame Hoshigaki. During his youth, he was highly praised as a prodigy and later served as an Anbu Captain, which specializes in black operations. However, he is treated as a criminal in the present day, as he is the one responsible for perpetrating the massacre of his own clan, with only Sasuke being spared. Itachi's best known abilities include using fire-based powers and an ability called sharingan (literally "copy wheel eye") which manifests as a red eye with black details; upon experiencing traumatic loss later on this ability is upgraded into the more powerful Mangekyo Sharingan.

Itachi is one of the most popular characters in the whole franchise, and is best known for his relationship with his younger brother. Uchiha's characterization and role in the story is also a popular subject of analysis by many fans. Likewise, his popularity also makes him the most successful representative in anime character popularity contests, having won several online tournaments throughout his existence.

ISML record[edit]

Itachi is the best-performing Naruto contestant in the International Saimoe League. He first appeared in ISML 2016, placing 3rd in the first group stage and was eliminated. The ninja returned in 2018 where he made his best result to date by reaching the ruby period (6th group stage), and finishing with a ??-?? record. He then entered a slump in ISML 2019, placing near the bottom of qualified nominees and exiting the Topaz wildcard rounds without scoring a win.

Uchiha continued to appear in the contest's three-split regular seasons starting from 2020, where he was eliminated in the second wildcard round following an 11th place finish on Split 2 (a 16-man round-robin). In ISML 2021, the presence of new Naruto characters in the tournament led Itachi to a career-high 7th place in the nominations stage, and he was not included in the seasonals because he did not appear in the long-running Boruto sequel, which Naruto and Sasuke appeared in and were banished selected into Winter and Spring as a result. Itachi placed 11th in the second split again - only avoiding direct elimination by defeating L Lawliet in the final round - and like last year went out in the ensuing wildcards.
