Celebrate Naruto Uzumaki and Orochimaru's Birthdays at Shinobi-Zato — October 2026 Character Birthday Event

The NARUTO & BORUTO Shinobi-Zato attraction at Hyogo Prefectural Awaji Island Park Anime Park "Nijigen no Mori" holds the Shinobi-Zato Character Birthday Event every month, an event exclusive to Shinobi-Zato that celebrates the birthdays of popular characters from the NARUTO series and BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS. Starting October 1, 2026 (Thursday), the gift for visitors is being renewed, and the stickers handed out until now are reborn as newly designed Shinobi-Zato Birthday Cards.

Shinobi-Zato Birthday Card featuring Orochimaru

The birthday characters for October are Naruto Uzumaki and Orochimaru. During the Birthday Card distribution period, visitors who tell a staff member "I came to celebrate [character name]'s birthday" receive a limited-edition birthday card. Holders of the Shinobi-Zato Annual Passport, which is currently on sale, can celebrate the birthdays of many characters throughout the year.

The birthday cards are available only at Shinobi-Zato, so visitors can pick one up and celebrate the characters' new year.
