When it comes to Naruto, the anime has plenty of theme songs for fans to geek out over. The original anime and its sequel Naruto Shippuden house dozens of openings and endings, but few of them scream hip hop. Popping and locking to songs like "Afternoon in Konoha" should not be possible, but one superstar dancer has done it anyways.

That's right; One of the industry's touted dancers has a soft sport for Naruto, and Fik Shun is not afraid to show it.

The famous dancer is a staple in the dancing community thanks to his insane isolation skills and musicality. However, Fik Shun is now becoming an otaku icon thanks to the love he's shown to franchises such as Naruto and Dragon Ball Super. Back in 2016, Fik Shun attended the World of Dance convention in Hawaii where thousands of dance enthusiasts came to celebrate the art. It was there the dancer debuted a Naruto-centric hip hop routine which will totally blow your mind.

The routine, which can be seen below, uses two very famous Naruto themes to back up Fik Shun's unreal moves. The dancer is seen popping in time with "Fooling Mode," an upbeat track Naruto often uses during the anime's lighter moments. However, Fik Shun then kicks up the routine a notch when his track features a dubstep transition into "Girei (Lucas Fader Remix)." The latter theme is more commonly known as Pain's theme as it accompanies the Akatsuki member in the anime.

So far, Fik Shun's Hawaii performance is his only once which nods directly to anime, but the dancer has shown out for anime before. Most recently, the dancer appeared at the City Walk showing for World of Dance, and Fik Shun was seen dancing whilst wearing a Super Saiyan Rose t-shirt.

You can check out Viz Media's synopsis of Naruto below:

"Naruto is a young shinobi with an incorrigible knack for mischief. He's got a wild sense of humor, but Naruto is completely serious about his mission to be the world's greatest ninja!"

Author/artist Masashi Kishimoto was born in 1974 in rural Okayama Prefecture, Japan. Like many kids, he was first inspired to become a manga artist in elementary school when he read Dragon Ball. After spending time in art college, he won the Hop Step Award for new manga artists with his story Karakuri. After considering various genres for his next project, Kishimoto decided on a story steeped in traditional Japanese culture.

His first version of Naruto, drawn in 1997, was a one-shot story about fox spirits; his final version, which debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1999, quickly became the most popular ninja manga in the world. The series would also spawn multiple anime series, movies, novels, video games and more.
