Naruto Makes Cartoon Network Debut in SeptemberNaruto, the global hit animé series centering around Uzumaki Naruto, a rebellious ninja in training, makes its U.S. debut on Saturday, Sept. 10, at 9 p.m. (ET, PT) during Toonami, Cartoon Network's high-rated action block.
The series has already acquired a huge fan base in the U.S. through DVD sales and bootleg tapes, having first aired in Japan in 2002.
Its debut on Cartoon Network will mark the first time the series has been shown in English.
"Naruto has reached a level of underground fandom comparable to the Dragonball phenomenon in both the U.S. and abroad.
We are excited and honored to present Toonami fans with the compelling characters, story arcs and incredible action that have made Naruto an international sensation," said Bob Higgins, senior vice president of programming for Cartoon Network.
Naruto is an adaptation of the popular manga series Naruto created by Masahi Kishimoto.
Cartoon Network has acquired 52 episodes of the animé series that will air during Toonami, Cartoon Network's Saturday prime time action block.
