Naruto fans in the United States are in for a treat. After months of anticipation—and a successful run in countries like Brazil and France—Burger King is finally bringing its epic Naruto collaboration to America! But there’s a twist: the U.S. rollout won’t be a replica of the international versions. Still, the stateside launch promises plenty of excitement, as this limited-time promo is shaping up to be one of the hottest fast-food crossovers of the year.
Grab a King Jr. Meal and Score Exclusive Naruto Toys
In December 2024, Burger King and Naruto—one of the most iconic manga and anime franchises of all time—launched a buzzworthy collaboration in Brazil. Just a month later, in January 2025, Burger King France took to social media to announce it would be rolling out a similar promotion featuring the beloved ninja-themed series. Naturally, American fans expected the U.S. launch to follow soon after the European rollout. But for months, there was radio silence.
That changed recently, when Burger King quietly surprised fans by confirming that the Naruto collaboration would be arriving in the United States sooner than expected. Starting July 21, 2025, fans will be able to order limited-edition King Jr. Meals that include collectible toys featuring some of the anime’s most legendary characters.
The full lineup includes eight fan-favorite ninjas: Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, Kakashi Hatake, Hinata Hyuga, Neji Hyuga, Rock Lee, and Gaara. The toys will be available only while supplies last, so fans hoping to complete their collection should act fast, as these exclusive figures are unlikely to stick around for long.
Burger King’s U.S. Naruto Promo Leaves Out the Themed Meals
While the collectible toys alone are enough to stir excitement, American fans may notice something missing from the U.S. rollout. Unlike the versions released in Brazil and France, the American collaboration doesn’t include any Naruto-themed food or drinks.
When the promotion debuted in Brazil in December 2024, it came with more than just chibi-style figures—fans also enjoyed a fully themed menu. Standout items included the Naruto Whopper, Kakashi Chicken Crispy, Shake Sakura, and Batata Sasuke, all drawing playful inspiration from the anime’s most iconic characters. Burger King France followed suit in early 2025 with its own limited-edition meals celebrating Naruto and his longtime rival, Sasuke.

So far, Burger King has not explained why the U.S. version skips the themed menu. While there’s always a chance for additional surprises, no further additions have been announced.
Interestingly, Burger King Malaysia is set to launch its own Naruto collaboration from July 21 to August 31, 2025—the same day the U.S. release kicks off. But unlike the pared-down American version, Malaysia’s rollout will include exclusive Naruto-inspired meals and immersive in-store experiences at select locations.
