Main characters:

Naruto Uzumaki (Uzumaki Naruto)
The primary protagonist of the Naruto series. Naruto is a ninja affiliated with the village of Konohagakure, and has ambitions of becoming Hokage, or the leader of the village. Due to being the host for the nine-tailed demon fox, a malevolent creature that attacked Konohagakure, he is ostracized by the other villagers. He compensates for this with his cheerful and boisterous personality, and over the course of the series, manages to befriend several other Konohagakure ninja, as well as ninja from other villages. He obtains an especially close relationship with Sasuke Uchiha, one of his fellow ninja in Team 7, and treats him as his brother.

Sasuke Uchiha (Uchiha Sasuke)
One of the members of Team 7. He was created by Kishimoto to be a rival to Naruto, as well as a "cool genius." Eventually he becomes close with Naruto.

Sakura Haruno (Haruno Sakura)
The sole female member of Team 7. Kishimoto created her as the heroine of the series, although he has admitted that he has little perception of what an ideal heroine should be. Sakura is infatuated with Sasuke, and spurns the advances of Naruto Uzumaki.

Kakashi Hatake (Hatake Kakashi)
The leader of Team 7 and the sensei of Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. Kishimoto originally had intended for Kakashi to be introduced earlier in the series, and created him as an easygoing person that would be able to keep the members of Team 7 in check. Kakashi treats his leadership position with a detached manner, and is consistently late to meetings as a result.
