Most of these techniques rapidly consume the user's chakra during use, and maintaining them during a prolonged battle can be tiring. For this reason the Akimichi have high chakra levels and eat a lot in order to build up or replenish their chakra reserves.<section end=summary /> As a tribute, members of the clan wear the kanji for {{translation|"food"|食|shoku}} on the their clothing. If standard calories aren't enough for a battle, Akimichi can use the clan's [[Three Coloured Pills]] to convert excess fat into chakra, at the cost of one's health. Many Akimichi use [[Wikipedia:Bō|bō]] as their weapon of choice. These have the ability to lengthen in proportion to their wielder's size. These weapons also have small appendages at the top of them. These clan members have all also been depicted with markings of sorts on their cheeks and most of them have been seen wearing plate armour, both with and without flak jackets. The Akimichi clan has a [[Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi Clan Memorial|special relationship]] with the [[Nara]] and [[Yamanaka clan]]. For generations, members of these three families have formed "Ino–Shika–Chō" trios, named after the first part of the names of the members with the Akimichi members being the "Chō" in the trio. To strengthen the unity between the three clans, a member of the [[Sarutobi clan]] will give them special earrings to present to each generation head when they are promoted to [[chūnin]] after which they will swear their oaths. The earrings also symbolise that they are considered adults by their respective clans. == Other Notable Clan Members == * During the [[invasion of Pain]], an Akimichi was part of Chōza's team that went to back up Kakashi.
