Chikara (チカラ) is the current daimyō of the Land of Noodles.

Background

He was engaged with Princess Fuku, who was so excited to meet him that she ate too much food and became overweight and then became dissatisfied with her weight, so she then became bulimic through "bruno style" techniques.

Personality

He has a very romantic personality. He appears to take offence if anyone calls him fat — similar to Chōji Akimichi's reaction.

Appearance

Chikara is a fat man and is usually compared to the rock star Elvis Presley. He has a red and white shirt and some buttons open showing his hairy chest. He has a silver necklace in the shape of a star.

Part I

Princess Fuku hired Ino Yamanaka and Naruto Uzumaki to pretend to be her, while she tried to drop weight. They couldn't hold it for long. When Chikara found out about the real Princess Fuku, he loved her more than Ino and they married. Chikara is overweight and seems to have based his look upon an Elvis style. Ino and Naruto are rather taken aback by the daimyō after having heard how handsome and desirable he is from the princess. Nonetheless, her opinion is supported by the daimyō's attendants, who swoon over him.

Trivia

• "Chikara" (力) means "power".
• His appearance is similar to many Elvis impersonators. Particularly those that impersonate Elvis' Las Vegas years, when he put on a great deal of weight.
• In the English dub, his voice is based on Elvis Presley.
