Clan Name: Akimichi
Village of Occupancy: Konohagakure no Sato
Clan Leader: (NPC)
Ability/Hidden Technique: Baika no Jutsu - Multi-Size Technique
Clan Functions & Description: The Akimichi clan (秋道一族, Akimichi Ichizoku) is a clan that is able to convert calories into chakra, which they then use in their hidden technique, Multi-Size Technique and its various related body-enlargement jutsu. Most of these jutsu are known to rapidly consume the user's chakra upon activation, and maintaining them during a prolonged battle can be tiring indeed, which must be why the Akimichi is prone to overeating in order to constantly replenish their chakra reserves. As a tribute to this, both Choji and Choza wear the kanji for "food" on the front of their clothing. If standard calories aren't enough for a battle, Akimichi can use the clan's Three Colored Pills to convert excess fat into chakra, at the cost of one's health.
The Akimichi clan seems to have a special relationship with the Nara clan and Yamanaka clan. For at least two generations, members of these three families have formed an "Ino-Shika-Cho trio," named after the first part of the names of the members. The Akimichi members are the Cho in the trio. "Ino," "Shika" and "Cho" are the names of three cards needed for a highly prized trick of "Inoshikacho" in the Hanafuda.
Kekkai Genkai/Hidden Technique Description:
The Akimichi clan focuses on heavy hard hitting techniques that use larges amounts of chakra, and thus they tend to eat large amounts of food that can be used to convert into chakra. As well as this, the clan uses "multi-size" jutsu that increase the size of a number of the user's body parts, or even their body as a whole.

Additional Hidden Techniques / Supporting Techniques:
Special Item: Three Colored Pills (三色の丸薬, Sanshoku no Gan'yaku)
The Three Colored Pills are secret medicine used in the Akimichi clan. As the name suggests, there are three pills, each with a different color. First is the green Spinach Pill (ホウレン丸, Hōrengan), next is the yellow Curry Pill (カレー丸, Karēgan), and last is the red Chilli Pill (トンガラシ丸, Tongarashigan).
By forcibly converting the body's fat reserves into chakra, each successive pill ingested gives a tremendous power boost. The Chilli Pill is even said to increase one's power a hundred times. However, the pills have a drawback. Each pill damages the body, poisoning it and since the third pill converts all one's fat reserves, the user will become dangerously emaciated. It is said that after the third pill, death is imminent. However, the Nara clan has apparently done extensive research on the Akimichi and their pills, and that knowledge allowed the Fifth Hokage to neutralize the poison and repair the damage to Choji Akimichi, after he took all three pills to fight and kill Jirobo.

One way is to surround their body with a loose chain of kunai or edged weapons. When their body is enlarged, the chain becomes taught which allows them to increasing the rotation speed and destruction when they roll. The other style takes advantage of clan member's long hair.
