Manga
author/artist Masashi Kishimoto was born in 1974 in rural Okayama
Prefecture, Japan. Like many kids, he was first inspired to become a
manga artist in elementary school when he read Dragon Ball. After spending time in art school, he won the Hop Step Award for new manga artists with his story, Karakuri.
After considering various genres for his next project, Kishimoto
decided on a story steeped in traditional Japanese culture. His first
version of NARUTO, drawn in 1997, was a one-shot story about fox spirits; his final version, which debuted in Japan in Weekly Shonen Jump in
1999, quickly became the most popular ninja manga in the world. The
series would also spawn multiple anime series, movies, novels, video
games and more. Having concluded the series in late 2014, Masashi
Kishimoto has kept himself busy this year with the side story, Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring, and writing the story for the latest NARUTO movie, Boruto: Naruto the Movie, both of which focus on the title character's son, Boruto.
