Rakuten Introduces Limited Edition NARUTO SHIPPUDEN Credit Card Design for the Rakuten American Express® Card Featuring Naruto and Sasuke

[15-October-2026]

The Rakuten American Express® Card gets an exclusive design featuring two iconic anime characters, with the same Cash Back rewards and perks cardholders already enjoy.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rakuten, the leading Cash Back shopping platform, today announced the Rakuten American Express® Card Limited Edition NARUTO SHIPPUDEN Design. Created in partnership with VIZ Media, the design features Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha — two iconic characters from one of Japan's most influential pop-culture franchises of the 21st century. As a company founded in Japan, Rakuten is celebrating a shared heritage alongside characters recognized by fans around the world.

Rakuten American Express® Card Featuring Naruto and Sasuke

The story of Naruto and Sasuke — a famous rivalry that grows into loyalty and, eventually, brotherhood — is one of the most enduring arcs in the series, tracing a complex history between the two characters.

"Rakuten is all about making everyday life more rewarding for our members, and this partnership with NARUTO SHIPPUDEN is yet another way we're bringing that to life," said Wendy Bergh, Chief Marketing Officer of Rakuten Rewards. "Naruto has connected deeply with fans for decades, and we're thrilled to celebrate their fandom with a limited edition design that turns everyday purchases into something even more rewarding."

The Rakuten American Express® Card has no annual fee¹ and earns cardholders an extra 4% Cash Back on eligible Rakuten purchases² — this is on top of what they already earn shopping on Rakuten's platform of more than 3,500 stores in-person or online. Cardholders also get 10% Cash Back on Rakuten Dining, 2% on groceries and restaurants and 1% on all other eligible purchases³. Plus, new cardholders receive a $100 welcome bonus after spending $1,000 on eligible purchases within the first 90 days on their Rakuten American Express® Card⁴. See the Rewards Program Terms and Conditions for full details and exclusions.

Cardholders also have access to American Express Network benefits, including Amex Offers for shopping, dining and travel, Amex Experiences™ spanning music, theater, sports events and more, along with retail protections.

About NARUTO
Naruto Uzumaki wants to be the best ninja in the land. He's done well so far, but with the looming danger posed by the mysterious Akatsuki organization, Naruto knows he must train harder than ever and leaves his village for intense exercises that will push him to his limits. Two and a half years later, Naruto returns to find that everyone's been promoted up the ninja ranks—except him. Sakura's a medic ninja, Gaara's advanced to Kazekage, and Kakashi, well, he's the same. But pride isn't becoming of a ninja, especially when Naruto realizes that Sasuke never returned from his search for Orochimaru. Plus, the mysterious Akatsuki organization is still an everpresent danger. As Naruto finds out more about the Akatsuki's goals, he realizes that nothing in his universe is as it seems. Naruto is finding that he's older, but will he prove wiser or stronger?
