Shikadai Nara

- Shikadai as an Academy student. - Shikadai as a genin. - Shikadai in Two Blue Vortex. 1/3 Shikadai bears a strong resemblance to his father and paternal grandfather. He has black-coloured, spiky hair, tied up in a ponytail, and his mother's teal-coloured eyes. Unlike his father, Shikadai has sharper facial expressions — a trait he most likely inherited from Temari. In his Academy days, Shikadai's outfit consisted of a white shirt, a green jacket with yellow sleeves and collar, over it blue pants, and regular shinobi sandals. Shikadai's outfit consists of a cream-coloured zipped-up jacket with a rudimentary Nara clan symbol on the back, blue trousers and standard shinobi sandals. He wears his forehead protector wrapped around one of his sleeves. As customary of his clan, both of his ears are pierced by grey stud earrings. In the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations manga, similar to Boruto, Shikadai also wears a black rubber band around his left wrist. Three years after Boruto left Konoha, Shikadai began wearing a black jacket with green lining down the sleeves and around wrists. The jacket also has the Nara symbol in green on the back and on the right of front with his forehead protector stitched to the right sleeve above the bicep. He also wears beige pants, green belt, and high black sandals reaching his ankles.

Shikadai is the only child of Shikamaru and Temari Nara. Shortly after his birth, Shikamaru took notice of Shikadai's cry and suggested that the infant would be better off exploring the world with his friends. As his parents continued to stay close to their childhood friends over the years, Shikadai ultimately came to know the various parents' respective kids well, but grew especially close to Boruto Uzumaki. Likewise, from a young age, Shikadai would often have sleepovers with Inojin and Chōchō, even having matching pajamas. Their parents would also continue Asuma Sarutobi's tradition of taking the kids to Yakiniku Q to celebrate accomplishments. Being acquainted with Mirai Sarutobi since his birth, the two developed a sibling-like relationship during their training under his father. He would also regularly be practiced on by her for her genjutsu. On the day of the Seventh Hokage's inauguration, he watched the ceremony beside Inojin.
