[edit] Personality

Choza is the head of the Akimichi clan, and was part of the first "Ino-Shika-Cho Trio" alongside Shikaku Nara and Inoichi Yamanaka, his name being the Cho part of the group name. He is a seemingly gentle and caring man with great wisdom and understanding of the world, and has deep love for his son, Choji. Like the rest of his clan, he has a large appetite, and is prone to eat everything on an entire page on the menu.

He seems very keen to fight with his teammates, and shares a very strong friendship.

[edit] Part I

[edit] Chunin Exam arc

He made his official appearance during the Chunin Exam Festival, sitting alongside his former teammates who were talking about the fact that Inoichi had a daughter, and how troublesome that was, according to Shikaku, while Choza was looking at the menu only to order everything on the page that he was looking at. When Shikamaru came to pick up his father, Choza invited him to come and eat with them.

[edit] Invasion of Konoha arc

He made his next appearance during the end of the Konoha Invasion arc, using the Super Multi-Size Technique to trample some Sound Shinobi, and later met up with Inoichi and Shikaku to reunite the original Ino-Shika-Cho Trio.

[edit] Part II

[edit] Invasion of Pain arc

He and Choji, along with a third unnamed member of the Akimichi clan and other reinforcements, were seen during Pain's invasion, helping Kakashi by crushing the Asura path. During a failed attempt to defeat the Deva path with Kakashi and Choji, Choza was seemingly killed while protecting Choji from Shinra Tensei. Later it was discovered that Choza was still alive but needed to be brought to the hospital immediately, which caused Choji to cry in joy.

[edit] Abilities

Like his son and the rest of his clan, Choza uses the special technique that allows him to change calories into chakra. As the leader of his clan, it is highly logical that he is skilled in all of his clan's secret techniques. He has been seen using the Super Multi-Size Technique, the Human Bullet Tank^[1] and the Partial Multi-Size Technique, which all revolve around the clan's special ability to increase the size of their various body parts.
