How Ikemoto Created Boruto Characters

Ikemoto develops characters as needed.

Every character has a unique twist added.
Ikemoto has created something amazing. boruto Characters over the years. I would say that the writing of the characters in the story, while not the best, has improved quite a bit over the years. Ikemoto had considerable difficulty writing new characters and often used older Naruto characters to add depth to the story. Since they were already well-known characters, it's now easy to introduce interesting characters with their own motivations.
Don't mess with the 7th Hokage. – Kawaki
Each of his characters is given a very interesting role to play in the story, many of which are based on what the current plot requires. Many writers develop interesting characters and then shape them in a way that makes the story more interesting, adding characters accordingly. For Ikemoto, things are different. He ended up creating characters based on what the main cast needed, and while this approach isn't uncommon, it's certainly very interesting. And while these characters live up to fan expectations, they also add unique twists to the story, becoming more enriching as the story progresses.
Here's what Ikemoto had to say about the new creation: boruto Text when asked about the process:
First, there is the role of the character. The basic premise is to create characters according to your needs. After that, he always shows something unexpected. In Ada's case, she has the ability to rule the world. Instead, he prioritizes love and has a foolish side. There is also a Hidari character reminiscent of Sasuke. On the one hand, he is showing off jutsu and techniques reminiscent of Sasuke. But on the other hand, he reveals that he is completely out of the box and has nothing to do with Sasuke. To summarize, it's about Gap Moe. – Ikemoto
Fans may be confused about what Ikemoto means by Gap Moe. It's just a difference between what fans expect of certain characters and reality. Ikemoto himself provides a good example of this. Ada was born with incredible strength. boruto series. After all, she has the ability to do anything due to her omnipotence. But the lack of true love in Ada's life forces her to set aside her desire to conquer and destroy and embark on her own personal quest. This is what fans generally expect from a character of her power level.
Likewise, Hidari is in some ways a clone of Sasuke. Therefore, fans would expect Hidari to act like him, aloof and short-tempered, among other things. However, Hidari's appearance is quite different and is obvious to fans. He is more open-minded than Sasuke, and his quest for knowledge makes him a quite different character than fans would expect.
Ikemoto's most important Boruto character
Ikemoto made Boruto and Kawaki outstanding characters.
When it comes to the Boruto series, it's no surprise that the main characters at the center of the story, namely Boruto Uzumaki and Kawaki, are the best characters. Technically, Boruto wasn't created by Ikemoto. But it's safe to say that he's made the character his own, adding his own twists and writing brilliantly over the years. Boruto may be just as good a character as Naruto or any other Naruto character, but he is unique in his own right and that's what makes him special. Fans have grown fond of Boruto over the years, and it goes without saying that his overall growth in terms of character development and strengths has been amazing.
I also want to be a protector like Uncle Sasuke. – Boruto
In the case of Kawaki, most of the character writing was done by Ikemoto himself, and needless to say, the character has firmly captured the hearts of fans. He has a tragic past, and his unwavering determination makes Kawaki a shining character.

Boruto: It has been confirmed that Sasuke has surpassed Naruto Uzumaki.
Naruto and Sasuke have always been close rivals. Sasuke may have surpassed Naruto in the Boruto series.
His growth has been amazing to see, and fans have seen him go from an unreliable individual to opening up to his family in Konoha. Nonetheless, Kawaki is a complex character who, despite his sometimes polarizing behavior, seeks to do good in his own way. This is what Ikemoto means by Gap Moe, and this metaphor is once again utilized brilliantly in the story here.
The most dominant Boruto character so far
Otsutsuki Shibai rises to the top.
Writing compelling characters aside, Ikemoto has already given fans plenty to get excited about by introducing some very underwhelming characters in the story over the years. From Momoshiki Otsutsuki, who wrote much of the story, to Isshiki, Ikemoto consistently introduced the most interesting and overwhelming characters in the story. Recently, fans have heard about a god named Shibai Otsutsuki, and although he now exists in a completely different realm, it's safe to say that he's a god to watch out for.
In Two Blue Vortex, Ikemoto introduced fans to even more powerful and overpowering characters, and Jura is the character every fan has their eyes on. With the plot becoming more exciting than ever, fans know that Jura will only become more compelling, while Boruto's plot will also take another exciting turn. Needless to say, Boruto may not be the best story, but the author sometimes does his best to create compelling characters, and he usually succeeds in his efforts.
