About kekkei genkai names

A kekkei genkai is an ability passed down by blood, and Naruto names them in two ways. The first is an advanced nature that combines two basic chakra natures, called a Release: Ice Release from wind and water, Wood Release from earth and water, Lava Release from fire and earth, along with Boil, Storm, Magnet, Explosion and Scorch. Dust Release combines three natures and is a kekkei tota. The second is a named body trait, such as Shikotsumyaku, the Dead Bone Pulse. Release and Style translate the same Japanese word, and this page uses Release throughout.

The list follows both. About 180 entries are Releases: single materials (Thorn Release, Prism Release), forty with two suggested natures in brackets such as Glass Release (Fire + Earth), fifteen three-nature combinations such as Meteor Release (Fire + Lightning + Earth), and a small share in Japanese with a gloss, like Kaiton (Ash Release). The rest are inherited traits: bone, blood, hair, skin and voice lines (Glass Bone Lattice, Quicksilver Blood, Thousand Voice Throat), beast lines, sealing and sensing lines, and clan pairs such as Tsukishima Clan: Moon Tide Pulse. Entries marked Hiden or Secret Art are clan-taught techniques, not bloodlines.

Nineteen entries come from the series. Everything else is new, and the bracketed natures on new names are suggestions only.

How to choose kekkei genkai names

  • Start from two natures, then look for one clear image. Fire and earth could be Glass Release, Kiln Release or Obsidian Release, and each one suggests a different clan and fighting style.
  • For a body bloodline, name the part that is inherited and what it does: Glass Bone Lattice, Needle Hair Mantle, Stone Skin Mantle, Echo Lung Chorus.
  • Use Japanese only when you are sure of the reading. The series joins one character to ton, as in Hyōton for Ice Release, and the new names here follow that pattern, such as Kaiton (Ash Release) or Muton (Mist Release). A plain English name is better than a guessed compound.
  • Pair the bloodline with a clan name so it reads as family history, the way Hoshikawa Clan: Star River Veins or Kanamori Clan: Tempered Bone Forge does. The Naruto clan generator has surnames to match.
  • Keep eye powers and single techniques off this line of the character sheet. An eye belongs to the dojutsu generator and a move such as a fireball belongs to the jutsu generator.

Frequently asked questions

How are kekkei genkai named in Naruto?

Most are advanced chakra natures with the word Release, each made from two basic natures: Ice, Wood, Lava, Boil, Storm, Magnet, Explosion and Scorch Release. A few are named body traits instead, like Shikotsumyaku, the Dead Bone Pulse. New names in this list copy both patterns, for example Coral Release (Earth + Water) and Iron Knuckle Marrow.

Which entries are canon?

Nineteen. Nine Releases are from the manga: Ice, Wood, Lava, Boil, Storm, Magnet, Explosion, Scorch and Dust Release. Crystal Release is from the anime, and Steel, Swift and Dark Release are from a film, so they are not manga canon. The others are Shikotsumyaku, Sage Transformation and four hiden techniques: Shadow Imitation, Mind Body Switch, Multi-Size and Hydrification.

Do the natures in brackets follow canon?

No. On a new name such as Snow Release (Wind + Water) or Hurricane Release (Wind + Lightning + Water) the brackets are only a suggestion for how the bloodline might work. Change them freely, and decide for yourself which clan, village and user the ability belongs to.

What is the difference between a kekkei genkai and a hiden?

A kekkei genkai is carried in the blood and cannot be taught, while a hiden is a secret technique a clan teaches only to its own members. In this list the taught arts are labelled, as in Hiden: Ink Menagerie, Hiden: Paper Crane Host and Secret Art of the Bunraku Hand, so you can choose either kind for an original clan.
