I think that the more one knows about Japan and its culture, the more you can appreciate Anime. Take a look at the name Naruto Uzumaki. Did you know that Uzumaki also means whirlpool in Japanese. I think this sums up well why they gave him the name Naruto. A whirlpool is something rough and dangerous, and Naruto Uzumaki's personality is similar.
