In honour of my goat Masashi Kishimoto& #39;s Birthday, here& #39;s my appreciation thread for him https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😤" title="Triumphierendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Triumphierendes Gesicht">
Kishi is famous for influencing the new gen Shounen like MHA, Boruto, JJK, GOH,... Kohei Horikoshi even outright thanked him for "creating the best Shounen manga"
In return, Kishi is a huge supporter of MHA and been giving Hori shout out from day 1, even before MHA had an anime. Kishi also defended MHA from "Naruto copycat" accusations and told Hori to surpass him
Kishi and Oda are both friends and rivals for decades. Oda admitted being influenced by Kishi& #39;s style many times
The cat that taught Naruto Rasengan in the manga is Kishi& #39;s cat irl =)))). His name is also Shu
Kishi had a very strict "no dating until you& #39;re 18" policy and heavily insisted a time skip in The Last so the characters are 19+. He also found it& #39;s embarrassing to draw the characters in revealing clothes and kept that in mind drawing them
For Kishi, the most interesting thing isn& #39;t the final goal but how the characters struggle to go for it, their development, where did they come from and the such. He digged deep in the psychological aspect of his characters
When drawing the part where Sasuke left the village, Kishi found himself making the same face as Sakura as in crying
Kishi used to apologize for making the final volume a bit longer than usual therefore a bit more expensive. In his last note to end Naruto, he said he& #39;ll be happy if people can occasionally remember his work in the future
I just wanna tell all the folks that said he "fumbled the series for money" for creating the Last is the mangaka barely received anything for the movies they wrote. They did it for the fans
Kishi was in a bad state of health in the War arc of Naruto. He couldn& #39;t sleep, his eyes couldn& #39;t see clear, had multiple mental breakdowns and tried to injure his feet so that he can finally have some days off. :((( He didn& #39;t want to injure his hands though
