Choji Akimichi belongs to a clan whose techniques turn calories directly into size and force. Expansion jutsu inflates a limb or the whole body, and the human boulder move is exactly what it sounds like. All of it costs him weight, which is why he is eating in most scenes he appears in, and why his teammates treat crisps as ammunition rather than a snack.
He is also, by a distance, the gentlest member of the Leaf's rookie year. Shikamaru befriended him when the other children would not, and Choji has been quietly loyal ever since. Call him fat and the gentleness evaporates. The three coloured pills his clan carries take that much further, buying enormous power at a price the family treats as a last resort.
Team 10 pairs him with Shikamaru's shadows and Ino's mind transfer, a formation their fathers used before them under the same name. The trio is one of the better arguments the series makes about inherited teamwork: three abilities that look mediocre alone and are awkward to counter together. Choji is the part that hits.
Spelling CHOJI
CHOJI is five letters and the Japanese is チョウジ, with a long O in the middle. Romanise that faithfully and you get CHOUJI, one letter too many for the row, so Otakana takes the English convention and drops the U. The J is the tile that locks the answer the moment it lands, since very little else in the dataset uses it.
