As of August 5, 2026, BANDAI has officially shown artwork or footage of eight named characters for NARUTO CARD GAME: Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, Boruto Uzumaki, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Itachi Uchiha. None of them has been confirmed as a specific card type yet — BANDAI has revealed the five card categories (Leader, Character, EX Character, Chakra, Summon) but hasn’t matched any named character to a category. Everything else you’ll see floating around online — Kakashi, Minato, Madara, Pain, Gaara — is fan speculation, not an official reveal.

This is a living tracker. We’re building it from the two confirmed BANDAI reveal windows so far — the June 18, 2026 announcement and the July 29, 2026 mechanics/card reveal ahead of Gen Con 2026 (July 30–Aug 2, Indianapolis) — plus the trailers and card art BANDAI released alongside them. We’ll update it as BANDAI shares more, including the promised “additional information” drop planned for December 2026.

The Confirmed Roster: 8 Names, Zero Assigned Card Types

Here’s every character BANDAI has put a name and a piece of artwork to, in the order they were first shown publicly:

A few things worth flagging about that table. First, GameSpot, SNKRDUNK, and Bandai’s own materials consistently name the first five — Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Jiraiya, and Itachi — as the “headline” reveal set shown across press images. Boruto Uzumaki and Orochimaru showed up specifically in the trailer footage rather than the still images, per Siliconera’s coverage of the July 29 drop. Second, coverage from Anime News Network noted the trailers also included “Shippuden versions of characters” — meaning BANDAI is confirming, at minimum, that different eras of the same character (base Naruto vs. Naruto: Shippuden, for example) can exist as separate card art, though no specific era-variant card has been named yet. Third — and this is the detail crossover fans should clock — Boruto Uzumaki’s appearance confirms the roster isn’t limited to the original/Shippuden era; BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS is explicitly in scope per BANDAI’s own framing of the game as spanning “NARUTO, NARUTO: Shippuden, and BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS.”

What “Card Type” Actually Means Here (and Why No One’s Assigned Yet)

BANDAI confirmed five card categories on July 29: Leader, Character, EX Character, Chakra, and Summon. A 51-card main deck is built around a Leader card, plus 5 Chakra cards and 1 Summon card. Character Cards form the front line and can use Jutsu by paying a Chakra cost; EX Character Cards are higher-impact cards playable only once specific conditions are met. That’s the full mechanical picture BANDAI has released — for the deeper rules breakdown, see our NARUTO CARD GAME Mechanics Explained: The July 29 Reveal.

What hasn’t happened yet: BANDAI hasn’t said “Naruto Uzumaki is a Leader Card” or “Itachi Uchiha is an EX Character.” Every character shown so far has appeared as generic card art illustrating what the category looks like, not as a confirmed, specific, playable card with a locked-in type. Given how Leader-based deckbuilding works in comparable games — a player’s whole deck color and strategy hinges on their Leader choice — which characters get promoted to Leader status is arguably the single most-watched unanswered question in the fanbase right now. It’s a reasonable bet that Naruto and Sasuke (the two characters shown most consistently across every reveal) end up as Leaders eventually, but that is speculation on our part, not something BANDAI has stated.

The Peach Momoko Tsunade Card: A Guest-Artist Signal

One of the more specific, sourced details from the July 29 reveal: a Tsunade card illustrated by Peach Momoko was called out separately from the rest of the reveal as an “instant chase card” — collector-speak for a card players will want to hunt for above the standard art. Momoko is a known name to crossover TCG collectors already; she’s illustrated cards for the One Piece Card Game, so her involvement here is a genuine signal that BANDAI is running the same “top creators alongside anime stills and Kishimoto’s own manga art” playbook it uses on its other big anime TCGs, rather than a one-off gimmick. Whether Tsunade’s Momoko card is a Character Card, an EX Character, or something else entirely hasn’t been specified — it’s been described purely as a special-illustration variant so far.

Who’s Missing, and Why Fans Are Already Guessing

Search around and you’ll find character wishlists circulating that include Kakashi Hatake, Minato Namikaze, Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, Pain, Gaara, Rock Lee, and Hinata Hyuga. To be clear: none of these have been shown by BANDAI in any official card art, trailer, or press release as of this writing. They’re reasonable guesses based on popularity and how deep the Naruto CCG (2006–2013) and other Naruto card products went into the roster, but treating them as confirmed would be getting ahead of the actual announcements. If you see a “leaked” card for one of these characters, treat it the same way you’d treat any other pre-release TCG leak — unverified until BANDAI’s official channels (the naruto-cardgame.com site, BANDAI CARD GAMES press releases, or the official social accounts) show it themselves.

For scale: eight characters is a small fraction of what a finished set will need. One Piece Card Game starter decks alone typically ship with 10-14 unique character cards before boosters are even factored in, and BANDAI has explicitly said more product and roster details are coming in December 2026, with in-store tutorial sessions starting January 2027 ahead of the Summer 2027 global launch. The current eight are a first look, not anything close to a final list.

Two of the Confirmed Eight You Can Actually Own Today

A small consolation for anyone frustrated that the roster is eight names and zero purchasable cards: the two characters BANDAI has shown most consistently, Naruto and Sasuke, have current Bandai Spirits figures on the shelf right now. This is merchandise, not card product — nothing below previews a card, an art style, or a Leader assignment — but if the reveal cycle has you wanting something Naruto-related in hand before Summer 2027, this is what exists.

Prices are from Discovery Japan Mall and are as of August 27, 2026, in Japanese yen, before international shipping and any customs charges in your country.

S.H.Figuarts NARUTO Shippuden Uzumaki Naruto -Jinchuriki Of Nine Tails Entrusted With Hope- (¥7,951) — the Shippuden-era Naruto, which matches the era BANDAI has leaned on hardest in the reveal art so far. Downside: S.H.Figuarts figures are built around swappable hands and faces, and the small parts get lost easily. Budget a container for them, and don’t buy this expecting a set-and-forget shelf piece.

S.H.Figuarts NARUTO Shippuden Sasuke Uchiha -A Person Who Carries All Hatred- (¥17,186) — the counterpart release, and the one that completes the rivalry pairing on a shelf. Blunt caveat: at more than double the Naruto figure’s price for a comparable 145mm figure, this is a resale-inflated listing rather than a current retail price. If you’re not in a hurry, this is exactly the kind of item worth watching for a restock instead of buying today.

How the Reveal Pace Compares to Other Anime TCGs

This comparison isn’t a knock on NARUTO CARD GAME — every new TCG reveals its roster in stages, and BANDAI’s own One Piece Card Game did the same thing before its 2022 launch. It’s just useful context for why this tracker exists: there’s no complete card list to review yet because BANDAI hasn’t finished releasing one.

FAQ

How many characters have been confirmed for NARUTO CARD GAME so far?
Eight, as of August 5, 2026: Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, Boruto Uzumaki, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Itachi Uchiha. All were shown in card art or trailer footage during BANDAI’s July 29, 2026 mechanics reveal ahead of Gen Con 2026.

Has BANDAI said which characters will be Leader cards?
No. BANDAI has confirmed the Leader Card category exists and is central to deckbuilding (a player’s whole strategy and color identity flows from their Leader), but it hasn’t assigned any named character to that role yet. Any claim you see about a specific “Naruto Leader card” or “Sasuke Leader card” is speculation until BANDAI confirms it directly.

Will Kakashi, Minato, or other fan-favorite characters be in the game?
Almost certainly at some point — the game is confirmed to draw from NARUTO, NARUTO: Shippuden, and BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS, and it’s hard to imagine a Naruto TCG without characters like Kakashi eventually appearing. But as of this writing, none of those names have shown up in an official BANDAI reveal, so treat them as speculation, not fact, until confirmed.

Is the Peach Momoko Tsunade card a special rare version?
It’s been described by BANDAI’s reveal materials as a “chase card” — collector language for a card intended to be harder to pull or more sought-after than standard art — but BANDAI hasn’t published full rarity or pull-rate details yet since no packs are on sale. Take “chase card” as a signal of intent rather than a confirmed rarity tier.

Where can I see the officially revealed cards myself?
The official NARUTO CARD GAME website (naruto-cardgame.com) and BANDAI CARD GAMES’ press releases are the primary sources; the July 29, 2026 reveal trailers are also the origin point most outlets (GameSpot, SNKRDUNK, Anime News Network, Siliconera) are citing. If you want the full mechanics rundown alongside the character reveals, see our NARUTO CARD GAME Mechanics Explained: The July 29 Reveal and our breakdown of Naruto Card Game vs. Naruto Mythos TCG: Don’t Mix Them Up, which covers the separate, unrelated Naruto Mythos TCG product some retailers already carry.

The Takeaway

Eight characters, five card categories, and zero confirmed Leader assignments — that’s the honest state of the NARUTO CARD GAME roster as of early August 2026. It’s an exciting first look, especially the Boruto-era and Peach Momoko details, but it’s still a first look. BANDAI has been explicit that more is coming in December 2026, with tutorial sessions rolling out in January 2027 before the Summer 2027 worldwide launch. We’ll keep this tracker updated as names get attached to actual card types — until then, resist the urge to treat any fan wishlist as a leak.
