Biographical Note:
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 college, 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
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 will focus on the title character's son, Boruto.
