Here's the following statement from fellow GameFAQs board member > AceOfSpades7i4
4Kids Entertainment has issued a brief press release today that they have finally won the license to Naruto after over a year of negotiations. The formal announcement of the license will be made at Otakon next week.
4Kids has announced that due to popular fan outcry regarding the planned edits to Tokyo Mew Mew, they will not be following through with plans to edit Naruto so that it was set in a secret valley in the southern United States at the turn of the century. However, to improve accessibility to younger fans, the show will be edited for content and some of the more difficult character names will be changed. While nothing has been officially confirmed yet, Larry McConnell (PR Representative for 4Kids) has given AnimeNewsNetwork the exclusive details that Naruto will be called Nathan and Sasuke will be named Sean.
