How many Minato Namikaze cards are there?
Naruto’s father, the Fourth Hokage, and the fastest ninja of his era. The gallery holds 3 records under the name Minato Namikaze. Those 3 records resolve to 3 card-number-and-version pairings across 1 card numbers, because the same number is reused for printings at different rarities. The earliest printing is dated 2026-09-04 and the most recent 2026-09-04.
| Rarity code | Records | Where it appears |
|---|---|---|
| R | 1 | Set 2. |
| RA | 1 | Set 2. |
| SP | 1 | Set 2. |
Across the two recorded sets that is 0 in Set 1 (Konoha Shidō) and 3 in Set 2 (Shinobi Shiren). By edition the split is 3 first-edition records and 0 second-edition records.
Every Minato Namikaze card, listed
Every Minato Namikaze record the gallery holds, in card-number order. “Card number” is the number printed on the card itself; a card number can carry more than one printing at more than one rarity, which is why some numbers appear several times. Chakra is the cost in the top-left of the card and power is the printed value. Effect text is quoted as printed.
| Card number | Version | Rarity | Edition | Chakra | Power | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
122/140 |
“This ninja was known as the Fourth Hokage.” | R | 1stnd | 5 | 5 | MAIN ↯ Discard all Tailed Beast characters from an enemy stack in this mission or move a friendly Tailed Beast character in play. |
122/140 |
“This ninja was known as the Fourth Hokage.” | RA | 1stnd | 5 | 5 | MAIN ↯ Discard all Tailed Beast characters from an enemy stack in this mission or move a friendly Tailed Beast character in play. |
122/140 |
“One Shinobi faced the Nine-Tailed Fox in mortal combat.” | SP | 1stnd | 5 | 5 | MAIN ↯ Discard all Tailed Beast characters from an enemy stack in this mission or move a friendly Tailed Beast character in play. |
Minato Namikaze — the strongest cards
The highest power printed on any Minato Namikaze card is 5. The top of the range looks like this:
| Card number | Version | Rarity | Chakra | Power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
122/140 |
“This ninja was known as the Fourth Hokage.” | R | 5 | 5 |
122/140 |
“This ninja was known as the Fourth Hokage.” | RA | 5 | 5 |
122/140 |
“One Shinobi faced the Nine-Tailed Fox in mortal combat.” | SP | 5 | 5 |
Power is not the same as usefulness. A card’s chakra cost is what it takes to play it, and the effect line is what it does once it is in play; a high-power card that costs more chakra than the deck can produce is not the strongest card in the set.
What Minato Namikaze’s cards have in common
Every Minato Namikaze record in the gallery is filed under Leaf Village (3), so the group line does not vary between cards. The keyword lines do vary, and they show what the card is expected to be used with:
| Keyword | Records |
|---|---|
| Hokage | 3 |
Every card of this character in the gallery is a Character card — the line has not printed this character as any other card type.
Minato Namikaze in the Naruto Card Game
Bandai’s Naruto Card Game, the 2027 game, has shown a different set of cards from the Mythos line. For Minato Namikaze, the revealed cards are:
N-007— Character. Minato Namikaze. POW 8. Gains Rush only if power is 10 or more.
Those are reveals and display cards, not a card list: the game does not release until 2027 and Bandai has published no numbering for it. See every Naruto Card Game card that has been shown for the full set.

How these counts are made
The counts on this page are read out of the manufacturer’s own card gallery rather than estimated. A “record” is one entry in that gallery: where the same card is held in more than one edition, each edition is its own record, which is why the record count reads higher than a count of distinct cards would. Rarity codes are shown exactly as the gallery prints them, and where the gallery prints a code without explaining it, the code is shown rather than a name invented for it. Prices are not quoted: there is no tracked market for these cards that we can quote from. See the full Naruto card list for the same data taken across every character at once.
