Like many kids, he was first inspired to become a manga artist in elementary school when he read \u003ci\u003eDragon Ball\u003c\/i\u003e. After spending time in art college, he won the Hop Step Award for new manga artists with his story \u003ci\u003eKarakuri\u003c\/i\u003e. After considering various genres for his next project, Kishimoto decided on a story steeped in traditional Japanese culture. His first version of \u003ci\u003eNaruto\u003c\/i\u003e, drawn in 1997, was a one-shot story about fox spirits; his final version, which debuted in \u003ci\u003eWeekly Shonen Jump\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eNaruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring\u003c\/i\u003e and writing the story for the latest \u003ci\u003eNaruto\u003c\/i\u003e movie, \u003ci\u003eBoruto: Naruto the Movie\u003c\/i\u003e, both of which will focus on the title character's son, Boruto.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Viz Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50875251327250,"sku":"9781421541259","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_27a88393-962b-4043-8072-4fe0853b3266.jpg?v=1738284083","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/naruto-the-official-character-data-book-9781421541259","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
