Naruto (both the character and the series) actually inspires me a lot. :) I admire the main character so much because of the way he can affect everyone around him in such a positive way. It's kind of odd to say, but Naruto (and Nel from Bleach) are actually my role models...
:P I don't know if this counts for the topic of the thread, though, so if it doesn't, gomen nasai...
