This thought crossed my mind: systems like pathfider and D&D have what could be considered 'Iconic pregenerated characters' that are typically inserted into a module or full campaign for players that don't have time to make their own characters.

I was wondering if anyone here had the idea to recreate the practice for this system? One character that would each represent a Naruto advanced class, complete with backstory and motivation, village they are from and any friends they'd have (whether original or from the main cast)

A neat idea. It's very unlikely to happen on an official level, but unofficially I have some suggestions:

Genjutsu Master: Maro, the Unmaker
Shinobi Swordsman: Mizugiri Toushirou
Master Strategist: Shiguro
Medical Specialist: Uzuki Shitan
Sword Savant: Kagami Yuko

Oh well, it was worth a shot, might as well toss in my idea.

In fairness, especially thanks to cmkawasaki's statblock generator, you could probably generate these iconic characters yourself, before posting them to in "Community Creations"? That may be worth a look, and helpful for those who've had the same idea, but never ended up doing it.

And in regards to iconic characters as you define them, while they don't really exist in the main file, I know Frankto tends to add a couple of them to each supplement, outlining the benefits of new classes, like in Way of the Master and Playwrights Primer. In fact, both the Conjurer's Codex's are good for it, as he does at least 2 genned summons for each new bloodpact. Worth checking out, if you have them.

Sadly do not, but I DO have that stat generator (wish it had a jutsu selection, but perfectly understandable to leave out)
Anyway, when I talk about pregenerated characters, I got the actual idea from pathfinder 3pp Legendary Games, their Heroes series, that present not just stat blocks, but fleshed out backgrounds, personalities and suggested advancement up to level 4 (artwork was nice too)

Ah, I see. Personally, I've not seen or even played in Pathfinder, so this is new to me. Hmm, truth be told, it still does not seem difficult to go through yourself. Obviously, there are difference present in both systems I imagine you'd have to work around, but the concept is still about the same.
