Shinobi Striker Character Creation: Full Avatar Guide

Character creation in Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker happens in two stages: a first-time creator where you set gender, voice, face and body type, and the Inn, where you keep changing your look, outfits and loadouts for the rest of the game. The choices you make first are the ones to think about, because gender, voice, facial features and body type can only be changed later with Ninja Remake Op. Seals.

We put this together from the Shinobi Striker community wiki's avatar, Inn, Ninja Remake Op. Seal and class pages, the game's own loading-screen tips as recorded on the wiki, Bandai Namco's DLC pages and the official Naruto site's anniversary announcements, all checked in November 2026.

What You Choose When You First Create Your Ninja

Your avatar is a near-fully customizable male or female ninja, and it is the character you will play most of the time, since most progression is built around your ninja training under Ninja Masters and inheriting their jutsu and gear. The community wiki lists the core appearance options set at creation:

• Gender and voice: Male or female, plus a voice selection for your ninja.
• Facial features: Eyebrows, eyes, pupils, nose and mouth.
• Body type: Five options for each gender, which set the physical size and shape of your ninja.
• Name: Your ninja's name, which falls under the same Ninja Remake rules as the face and body.

The wiki is clear that gender, voice, facial features and body type are only customizable afterward through Ninja Remake Op. Seals, with the exception of eyebrows and colors. In other words, everything that defines the base of your character is semi-permanent, while clothes, hair and gear are free to swap at any time.

Everything You Can Change Later at the Inn

Once you are in the village, the Inn, run by an adult Sakura, is where your avatar lives. It handles costumes, weapons, titles and your overall look, and it also holds the Gift Box where event rewards, presents and purchased DLC items arrive. The list of options you can change there freely is long:

• Hairstyles: Nearly all of them reference characters from the series, including ones who are not playable. DLC masters often add new ones; Sage Mode Naruto's training adds Naruto and Minato hairstyles without headbands, for example.
• Forehead protectors and face paint: Face paint styles are modeled on characters like Choji, Kankuro, Gaara, Itachi and Kakashi.
• Costumes: Separate top and bottom pieces, each with its own skill.
• Accessories: One per loadout slot, again with its own skill.
• Titles: Shown during matchmaking, on the scoreboard and under your name when you knock out an enemy.

Hair, face paint and headbands can also be adjusted from the Ninja Remake screen. Because costume pieces carry skills, dressing your ninja is never purely cosmetic; our guide to the best accessory skills in Shinobi Striker explains how to pick pieces that help your role.

Ninja Remake Op. Seals: Changing Your Base Look

If you regret your first-day choices, Ninja Remake Op. Seals are the fix. According to the community wiki, one seal lets you change your character name, gender, facial features, body type and voice, and the remake option is only available at the Inn.

Seals are not rare once you know where to look. The wiki lists three sources: training with the base game masters, online events, and buying them at the Ninja Tools Shop for 10,000 Ryo. Campaigns hand them out too. During the fifth anniversary in 2023, one Emergency Special Mission rewarded Ninja Remake Seal x10 for completing three Quick Matches, and the beginner and comeback login bonuses announced on the same page also included Ninja Remake Seals. That means a new or returning player can usually experiment without much cost.

A sensible approach is to make quick, rough choices at creation, play a few hours to see how your ninja looks in motion and with real outfits, then use a seal to fine-tune the face and body once you know what you want.

Loadouts: Sets, Slots and Class Choice

The part of creation that affects how you play is the loadout system, and it is more flexible than many new players realize. The community wiki explains that the Inn gives you 4 sets with 4 customizable slots each, for 16 loadouts in total. In a match you pick one set, and you can switch between that set's four slots, which the game's tips note you can do when reviving after being knocked out.

Each slot defines a complete build:

• Class type: Attack, Ranged, Defense or Heal.
• Weapon and Ninja Tool: Limited to what that class can equip.
• Costume: Top, bottom and accessory, with their skills.
• Jutsu: Two ninjutsu, a Substitution and a Secret Technique.

A good starting setup is one set per game mode with a slot for each class, so you can react to the enemy team without leaving the match. The wiki's description of the costume menu adds two useful controls: pressing Triangle or Y shows each piece's skills, and pressing Square or X adds an item to a favorites list you can open with R2 or RT. Weapons are covered in detail in our Shinobi Striker best weapons guide.

Picking Your First Class

Your class is set per slot, not at character creation, so you are never locked in. Still, the first class you level shapes your early experience. The community wiki's class pages give the base maximum health of each type, and the in-game role tips describe their jobs:

• Attack (700 health): Front-line, close-range fighters who rely on Substitution to survive. The default class when you first play.
• Ranged (600 health): Long-distance fighters who should stay near allies and avoid close combat.
• Defense (900 health): Slow but durable, with super-armored heavy attacks and ninjutsu that protect allies and hold bases.
• Heal (600 health): Support players who heal, buff and can revive allies under certain conditions, and whose heavy attacks break guards.

The loading tips also recommend not building a team where everyone has the same role, which is another reason to keep all four classes ready across your slots.

Ranks, Levels and Titles for Your Avatar

Your ninja grows in two ways. Story rank comes from VR Missions: the wiki notes that beating the Entrance Exam promotes you to Chunin, and completing all missions except the Ultimate Showdown missions promotes you to Jonin, which unlocks more items in the Ninja Tools Shop. Separately, your level climbs with experience from matches and missions, and every 100 levels adds a new rank. Ranks 16 to 20 were added in version 2.02 and ranks 21 to 25 in version 2.39, so the cap now sits at rank 25, covering levels 2501 to 2600.

Titles are the other long-term part of your identity. The wiki lists the ways to earn them: leveling up, completing specific missions, battling as a specific class, using specific ninjutsu, finishing a master's training and buying them in the shop. Several trophies overlap with this progression, including training base masters to rank 5, so our Shinobi Striker trophy guide is worth reading alongside your first weeks.

DLC masters add more outfits, hairstyles, weapons and titles for your avatar through their training packs. The full roster is in our Shinobi Striker DLC characters list.

Mistakes New Players Make With Their Avatar

Most avatar regrets come from treating creation as a one-time decision instead of the start of a long project. A few habits save time and Ryo:

• Spending too long on the first face. You will barely see your ninja's face in fast matches, and seals are cheap enough to fix it later. Lock in a body type you like and move on.
• Dressing for looks only. Every top, bottom and accessory carries a skill, and a matching three-piece set from the same outfit line is often built to complement one class. Check the skill screen before you commit to a fashion set in a competitive slot.
• Filling every slot with the same class. Four slots per set exist so you can adapt mid-match. Keeping at least one Defense or Heal slot ready lets you cover a team that has drifted into all attackers.
• Ignoring the Gift Box. Campaign rewards, presents and purchased DLC items land in the Gift Box at the Inn rather than straight into your inventory, so check it after events and purchases.
• Skipping the base masters. Training with the original roster is one of the listed ways to earn Ninja Remake Op. Seals, and it unlocks ninjutsu, outfits and titles that round out a new avatar.

Keep cosmetic slots separate from competitive ones. One simple option is to dedicate one full set to your favorite look for casual play and screenshots, and keep the other three sets tuned for performance.

Starting With a Fully Stocked Wardrobe

Most of the outfits, hairstyles and accessories that make an avatar stand out come from scroll luck or long master training. If you play on PlayStation and want to design your ninja with everything available from day one, the Shinobi Striker modded save for PS4 and PS5 lists unlock all including DLC and all clothes, plus max scrolls and infinite ultimate, ninjutsu and sub-weapon effects. It is the save file only, applied directly to your PlayStation profile, and it needs active PlayStation Plus on that same account. Other services for the game are on the Shinobi Striker hub.
