The story of Naruto is filled with many intense battles and profound themes that have earned the respect and attention of countless fans, so much so that it’s become the most popular TV show for kids around the world. Based on the hit manga by Masashi Kishimoto, Naruto‘s tale explores the life of a discarded orphan who vows to become the most respected ninja in his village. While it’s got great action, its emotional and character-rich story helped make it an appealing series for many.
In retrospect, Naruto‘s beginning is both better and worse than some fans may remember. Still, as soon as its first episode ends, fans are effectively introduced to its fascinating world of shinobi with epic battles, creative supernatural abilities, and characters that deal with themes of empathy, loneliness, and the effects of hatred on society. Because of the stellar combination of those factors, one study by the independent publication TheToyZone has found that “Naruto is the most popular kids’ TV show in 83 countries.”
The study looked at the average volume of Google searches in every country across the most popular TV networks and streaming platforms to come up with their results. In 83 countries, Naruto was searched for more than any other TV series. According to the study, that makes it, on average, the world’s most popular kids’ show.
There Are A Lot Of Reasons Why People Like Naruto

Naruto is a series that has a broad appeal across both kids and adults. While some may enjoy it for its incredibly well-animated fights, others enjoy its complex themes and character writing explored through Sasuke and Naruto’s bond and its other cast’s dynamic personalities, like fan-favorite Rock Lee. Because of its wide range of appeal, several age groups likely contributed to the impressive amount of well-deserved attention it’s garnered from so many places and cultures worldwide.
While Naruto earned more searches on average, other shows like CoComelon, Peppa Pig, and Dragon Ball also proved to be incredibly popular on nearly every continent on the planet. Some shows are only available on specific streaming services. Because of this, Sonic Prime was the most popular Netflix Original show for kids in 52 countries. However, of the 6,638 shows included on TheToyZone‘s list, it could be clearer if more mature-rated series like One Piece and Demon Slayer were absent from the study, which are both incredibly popular anime series in many parts of the world.
