Shikadai Nara

Shikadai Nara is a supporting character in the Boruto series. He is the son of Shikamaru Nara and Temari. 
He is voiced by Kenshō Ono, known for voicing Giorno Giovanna in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Todd Haberkorn in the English version of the anime.
==Appearance==
Shikadai follows the customary look of the Nara, with his black, spiky hair tied up in a ponytail. His eyes, however, are teal and shaped like his mother's. His facial expressions also favour his mother's. He is quite tall for his age. He wears a dark outfit with a light cream-coloured jacket over it, which bears the rudimentary form of his clan's crest. Also, as customary of his clan, both of his ears are pierced with grey stud earrings. In Boruto, he wears an unbuttoned black coat with a white shirt.
==Personality==
Shikadai takes after his father, Shikamaru, in several ways, possessing a similar relaxed, unenthusiastic personality. He finds participating in activities to be very tiresome and is quick to shirk out of them as seen when he rejected an invitation from Inojin to train after school.
Stemming from his lax nature, he also isn't one to properly respect rank, greeting his uncle — the Kazekage — plainly before flatly asking for his other uncle Kankurō. He also showed himself to be blunt and outspoken like his mother, telling Boruto that pursuing a prank during the Five Kage Summit was stupid.
Shikadai is referred to as a gamer and seems to have a strong moral code. For instance, he was personally offended when Boruto revealed he was cheating in the video game the two were playing with Inojin. He also gave up against Boruto, who he did not know was cheating at the time, in their Chūnin Exam fight because he felt that as a gamer, one should understand when to give up fighting another day when the odds are overwhelmingly against you. He also has a fierce rivalry with Boruto.
==Abilities==
Shikadai has been hailed as a prodigy amongst the Nara clan, having inherited his father's intellect and possessing the Kazekage bloodline. During the Chūnin Exams, he was able to defeat Sunagakura's top genin Yodo, was able to corner and almost defeat a highly skilled Boruto until the latter cheated by using the Kote to win and was considered well-above the level of Kumo-elite genin Yurui. In fact, he like his father was also the first of his fellow Genin to become Chūnin.

*Boruto mentions that Shikadai was very excellent in using the Wind Release when they were younger.
*Shikadai was briefly considered as a contender for the position of Kazekage as his Uncle Gaara had no living heirs at the time. But this has most likely chanced do the fact that Gaara adopting a son named Shinki but it's not clear if he's elidable for the role or the process has changed.
*Like his father, Shikadai was promoted to the rank of Chūnin before anyone in his graduation class, this is do to the leadership and ingenuity during the Chūnin Exams just like his father.
