'''Kurama''' (九喇嘛) is a nine-tailed fox with the power to harness [[chakra]]. [[Gamakichi]] probably hangs out with him.

==Fiction==
===''Collaborative'' marketing material===
An escape pod left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] before crash-landing on a wooded planet. A [[Transformer|Cybertronian]] ventured out from the pod into the forest and sighted a growling orange blur. After a ruckus involving a lot of roaring, Kurama and Gamakichi emerged into a clearing and transformed to robot mode before dashing away ninja-style. {{storylink|#External links|''Naruto'' Collaborative reveal short}}

:''[[Transformers Collaborative|Collaborative]]'' Kurama is an extensive [[retool]]ing of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' [[Cheetor (BW)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Cheetor]], transforming from nine-tailed fox into a ninja robot based on [[fandom:naruto:Naruto Uzumaki|Naruto Uzumaki]], both from the manga series ''{{w|Naruto}}''.

:Kurama comes with two different kunai: a single-bladed kunai branded with the [[fandom:naruto:konohagakure|Konohagakure]] symbol, and a three-bladed kunai based on the [[fandom:naruto:Flying Thunder God Kunai|Flying Thunder God Kunai]] used by Naruto's father [[fandom:naruto:Minato Namikaze|Minato]], both of which can peg onto his hips for storage. He also has blast effects modeled after Naruto's [[fandom:naruto:Rasengan|Rasengan]] and [[fandom:naruto:Rasenshuriken|Rasenshuriken]] techniques, which plug into a port in the palm of Kurama's right hand. Completing the effect are two more effect pieces that sit underneath Kurama's feet, meant to give off the impression of an anime-esque "chakra aura".

: Kurama was only available in a two-pack with fellow ''Naruto'' character [[Gamakichi#Toys|Gamakichi]] (though said two-pack is specifically branded as a ''{{w|Naruto Shippuden}}'' product). This set was revealed by Hasbro on [[October 10]], [[2024]], and went up for pre-order the same day.

==Notes==
*Given getting sealed in other beings is [[fandom:naruto:Jinch%C5%ABriki|the tailed beasts' whole deal]] in ''Naruto'' fiction, it's a little ambiguous whether the unnamed Transformer [[Scanning|scanned]] the ''Naruto'' character Kurama for a [[beast mode]] or if Kurama is possessing them directly.
*In the ''Naruto'' anime, Kurama is voiced by [[Tesshō Genda]] in Japanese.
