You probably don't even need any else if you go with the bouncer design pattern.

function whoIsThis(character) {
    if (character.toLowerCase() === 'naruto') {
        return `Hokage`
    } 
    if (character.toLowerCase() === 'sasuke') {
        return `Konoha's Strongest Ninja`
    }    
    if (character.toLowerCase() === 'isshiki') {
        return `Otsutsuki being`
    } 
    if (character.toLowerCase() === 'boruto') {
        return `Naruto and Hinata's son`
    }
}

I will still prefer switch here:

const whoIsThis = character => {
    switch(character.toLowerCase()) {
        case 'naruto':
            return `Hokage`
        case 'sasuke':
            return `Konoha's Strongest Ninja`
        case 'isshiki':
            return `Otsutsuki being`
        case 'isshborutoiki':
            return `Naruto and Hinata's son`
    }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

or object literals

const whoIsThis = character => ({
    'naruto': 'Hokage',
    'sasuke': 'Konoha\'s Strongest Ninja.',
    'isshiki': 'Otsutsuki being.',
    'isshborutoiki': 'Naruto and Hinata\'s son'
  })[character]
