You guys have been loving the addition of even more Boruto characters into our Naruto Inspired Workouts, so we’re keeping that going with Koji Kashin.
I really like being able to bring in some of the larger characters from the Naruto Universe being that normally we have slimmer, leaner characters that tend to lean better towards being added into our calisthenics workouts – so it’s nice to be able to add some weight training into the database for you guys as well.
As a Jiraiya clone Koji Kashin comes in beefy and larger than most of the characters we’re used to seeing, and we’re going to be able to have some fun with how we build this one out.
Koji Kashin Stats:
Real Name: Koji Kashin
Height: 6′3
Weight: 193 lbs.
Anime: Boruto
Powers: Yes
Koji Kashin is only a few inches off of being considered a behemoth among our male anime characters within our Anime Workouts Database.
And his 193 lbs. shows just how much muscle he’s carrying on his frame as well.
Wolverine was the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, prior to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming in at 5’2, (and Gimli even shorter) – but Damian Wayne (Robin) is only 5’4. Goku isn’t that tall either, though, standing only 5’7, with Miles Morales only an inch above him.
One Punch Man falls in at 5’9 right there with Ryu, Nightwing at 5’10, and then Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.
We’ve had Superman and Eddie Brock’s Venom at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, and Carnage at 6’1. Thor and Cyborg are towering over them at 6’6, Thanos and King right there with them at 6’7, Bane at 6’8, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5, and Black Manta at 6’4.
Ronan and Sagat are 7’5, and Doomsday came in at 8’10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.
But, don’t worry if you’re not the same height or weight range.
We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

Koji Kashin Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero.**
Every hero needs to still have a good diet.
Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.
You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.
You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.
Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.
It’s all about sustainability.
AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.
Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!
Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

Koji Kashin Workout Routine Research
We’ve made it to “the fun part”.
And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.
To learn more about Koji Kashin we’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page starting with his bio section that they give us here:
Koji Kashin is a clone of Jiraiya that was created by Amado Sanzu for the purpose of killing Isshiki Ōtsutsuki. A former Inner of Kara, he was in charge of the sector on the outskirts of the Land of Fire.
Another thing I want to breakdown is Koji’s appearance section being that it does tell us more about how we’re going to want to build out this workout.
Here’s what they share:
As a clone of Jiraiya, Koji’s likeness is identical to the Sannin, albeit he is physically in his prime compared to his template, having no wrinkles and his hair is straight unlike Jiraiya’s spiky hair. Koji is a tall man with shoulder-length white hair that he keeps the top of in a topknot, leaving the rest to flow freely.
His Fandom page goes on to say a lot more about his style, but what we want to focus on is his physical prime.
We’ve seen Jiraiya with a muscular physique, and even abs, even not in his prime – so knowing that Koji is the prime makes us realize just how much clean mass we’re going to need to build to make our way to his aesthetic.
From there we can move down into Koji’s abilities section starting with his overall abilities that they tell us here:
As a clone of one of the Sannin and an Inner of Kara, Koji is regarded to be a complete monster in terms of power and ability, with his abilities being viewed as superhuman. He was able to easily overpower and defeat one of Konohagakure’s top jōnin. In the anime, he was viewed as a very troublesome opponent by the Sixth Hokage. He appears to be among the stronger Inners, as he easily defeated and killed Victor and was confident he could defeat Delta. Even Isshiki Ōtsutsuki himself acknowledged Koji as a very capable man. He was capable of killing Isshiki’s vessel after he was severely weakened and even held his own against Isshiki himself.
Clearly we’re dealing with an extremely powerful character.
Jiraiya even came in just missing our most powerful Naruto characters of all time (top of the runner up section); so that should make it pretty clear just what we’re dealing with here.
From there we can move on to his physical abilities and chakra:
Koji has had his body modified with Scientific Ninja Tools by Amado. He has blazing speed, able to catch an opponent off guard from a distance even while they face him. He possesses great stealth skill, as he snuck up on the more experienced Victor unnoticed and also moved around Konohagakure upon infiltrating it completely unnoticed. He is highly skilled in taijutsu, easily countering all of Konohamaru Sarutobi’s melee attacks and simultaneously implanting techniques on the latter without him knowing. He could even compete with a heavily weakened Jigen, able to counter and exchange blows with him very well. He is extremely resilient, able to survive having an arm destroyed, his torso and legs crippled, and still had enough strength to summon a toad to escape. Likewise, Koji has tremendous chakra control, able to perform techniques with only a single hand, despite his mangled state. He also has equally strong and large enough reserves of chakra to use Sage Mode.
Thankfully we’re going to be training to build mass so the speed and strength that is clearly a big part of Koji’s physical abilities will come from that, but we’ll also need to factor in his ninja endurance and body control.
His abilities section goes on for a bit more, but we have plenty to work with here already.
The goals for our Koji Kashin Inspired Workout are:
- Koji Kashin’s Massive Muscular Physique
- Koji Kashin’s Immense Strength and Speed
- Koji Kashin’s Ninja Endurance and Body Control
This isn’t anything we aren’t used to already, but I definitely want to make sure we have some fun with it.
I’m actually going to be taking our Jiraiya Inspired Workout and upgrading it to another level that brings us to the peak like Koji.
That means it might be slightly more advanced, likely an intermediate to advanced level, so if you’d like to start with one of our Beginner Workouts the best one to go with would be our Beginner Behemoth Workout and then level up to this one.
