Masashi Kishimoto

Masashi Kishimoto is the creator of the Naruto manga series and so in turn the anime as well. Born in the Okayama Prefecture on November 8, 1974 Kishimoto spent his younger days admiring the great manga artists of his time such as Akira Toriyama the creator of the Dragon Ball and Dr Slump series and Katsuhiro Ootomo for his work on "Akira". He would spend his time imitating these great artists drawing characters such as Son Goku and even entering a crayon drawing of Arale into a contest. It was through this that Kishimoto made the decision to follow his idols and become a professional manga artist.

I think this all bull crap!!.They make this guy seem like a genious creator. Im not gonna lie,naruto is a good show but I wont give as much credit as they give it.BLEACH is my personal favorite.
