What does my coin purse say? : r/translator]
Naruto considers Gama-chan to be a cherished possession and even refers to it as if it were a pet. The wallet is often used for comic relief in the series, like when Naruto expresses disappointment if it’s empty after Jiraiya’s “research” trips. The underside of Gama-chan even has a strip of writing that roughly translates to “Naruto’s Wallet”. Some speculate that the design might be inspired by the Chinese symbol of prosperity, the Chan Chu (Lucky Money Toad).
