Choza Akimichi serves as a supporting character in "Naruto Shippūden: The Lost Tower." He joins a Konohagakure mission team, led by Minato Namikaze, tasked with confronting the antagonist Anrokuzan (Mukade) within the ancient desert ruins of Loran. This mission occurs roughly twenty years prior to the main Naruto series events.

Accompanying Minato, Kakashi Hatake, and Shibi Aburame, Choza arrives amidst a critical battle where Naruto Uzumaki (accidentally transported to the past) and Queen Sāra face threat from Anrokuzan’s forces. Choza immediately dives into combat alongside his teammates to protect Sāra and assist Naruto. His role centers on direct combat support, leveraging his clan’s signature techniques: the Multi-Size Technique, dramatically expanding his physical size and strength, and proficiently wielding an extendable bō staff. These abilities reflect his expertise as head of the Akimichi clan.

During the battle against Anrokuzan’s Puppet Ninja Forces and the minister’s giant defensive puppet, Choza fights cooperatively within Minato’s team. He contributes to the collective effort to breach Anrokuzan’s defenses, creating openings for Naruto and Minato to deliver decisive attacks, including the collaborative Super Rasengan. Choza’s participation concludes when Kakashi and Yamato extract Naruto and Sāra from the collapsing tower, followed by Minato sealing the Ryūmyaku (Ley Line) power and erasing the memories of those involved to preserve history.

His physical appearance remains consistent: a tall, heavyset man with spiky brown hair and characteristic Akimichi clan purple cheek markings. He wears samurai-style attire featuring armor inscribed with the kanji for "meal" (食) and a hachimaki headband instead of a standard forehead protector. His personality demonstrates loyalty to Konoha and calm professionalism in combat, depicted exclusively through battle coordination without personal interactions or dialogue.
