NARUTO - Okage Rock - Figure 18cm

This Banpresto creation recreates the famous Hokage Monument, one of the most iconic landmarks in the village of Konoha in Naruto. Sculpted to look just like rock, the monument features the faces of the first leaders of the Hidden Leaf Village and transforms this iconic scene from the series into a collectable item measuring approximately 18 cm.

The model features the four faces visible on the Hokage Monument at the start of the story: Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze. Each portrait is set against a textured rock face to recreate the appearance of the monument overlooking Konoha.

This piece also has a practical function, as it serves as a money box. A discreet slot allows coins to be inserted whilst preserving the overall appearance of the design. It can therefore be displayed as a figurine on a shelf or desk whilst also serving as a money box.

Origin and background of the Hokage Monument (Lore)

The Hokage Monument, or Hokage Rock, is a massive rock formation overlooking Konohagakure, the Hidden Leaf Village. The faces of the various Hokage are carved into it to honour the ninjas who have served as leaders of the village.

According to Konoha’s history, Hashirama Senju conceived this monument as a symbol reminding the village that the Hokage would continue to watch over it and its inhabitants. As new leaders assume the title of Hokage, their faces are added to those of their predecessors.

The monument also plays a role right from the start of *Naruto*. In one of the series’ earliest iconic moments, Naruto Uzumaki daubs paint over the faces of the four Hokage present at that time. Behind this act of defiance lies his ambition: to become Hokage himself and one day earn his own place on the monument.

The four portraits depicted on this version correspond to the Hokage known at the start of the story: Hashirama Senju, founder of Konoha and First Hokage; his brother Tobirama, Second Hokage; Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage; and Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage and Naruto’s father.

Throughout the saga, the Hokage Monument remains one of the main visual symbols of Konoha and of the passing on of the Will of Fire from one generation of ninjas to the next.
