Rock Lee is a fictional character in the anime and manga series Naruto and Naruto Shippuden created by Masashi Kishimoto. At first, Masashi designed Lee to symbolize human strength. In the anime and manga, Lee is a ninja affiliated with the Village Hidden in the Leaves or Konohagakure, and is a member of Team Guy, which consists of himself, Neji Hyuga, Tenten, and Might Guy—the team's leader. Unable to use most ninja techniques, Lee dedicates himself to using solely taijutsu, ninja techniques similar to martial arts. Lee dreams of becoming a "splendid ninja" despite his inabilities. Lee has appeared in several pieces of Naruto media, including the third and fourth featured films in the series, the third original video animation, and multiple video games.
