Ino Yamanaka (#23665;#20013;#12356;#12398;, Yamanaka Ino?) is a fictional character in the anime and manga series Naruto.

The name "Yamanaka" means "deep in the mountain" and "Ino" means "a wild boar" (this is why Sakura calls Ino a pig or "porker" to insult her). Her name is something of an ironic contrast to her teammate Choji, whose name means 'butterfly', as he is the larger of the two. The names "Ino", "Shika" and "Cho" are also a pun on the "Ino-Shika-Cho" winning combination in Hanafuda.
Ino Yamanaka was a Genin assigned to Asuma Sarutobi's Team 10. With her teammates, Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi, they make up the 2nd-generation Ino-Shika-Cho Trio. At first, it seemed as though Ino disliked both Shikamaru and Choji (Shikamaru for being dull and unpopular, and Choji for being fat), but she actually holds a strong bond with both of them. Ino is the daughter of Inoichi Yamanaka and part of the Yamanaka family, who owns a small flower shop in Konoha. Part of her bond with her teammates might come from her father, as he was teammates and good friends with the fathers of Shikamaru and Choji. She, Shikamaru, and Choji wear the same type of earring: a small silver hoop. At her graduation, she graduated as one of the best kunoichi in her class. She is talented in the way of the flower (Ikebana) as well as mind-altering jutsu. She is the rival of Sakura Haruno.

Her favorite food is small tomatoes and pudding. Her hobby is shopping and her favorite phrase is #33457;#35328;#33865;#12398;#25968;#12293; (Hanakotoba no kazukazu, "The many words/meanings of flowers"). Her personality is outgoing.
