About the Creator...
Author/artist Masashi Kishimoto was born in 1974 in rural Okayama Prefecture, Japan. After spending time in art college, he won the Hop Step Award for new manga artists with his manga Karakuri (Mechanism). Kishimoto decided to base his next story on 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 Japan.

I LOVE NARUTO!!!! THAT IS MY SHINOBI WAY!!! LOVED this interview and also loved him drawing Naruto. How about Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth as a special insert manga. I LOVE ROCK LEE's manga and it comes out every once in a while in Japan. I wonder if this thing is on? Can anyone read this or is it private? I LOVE NARUTO!!!
