Kishimoto first manga Karakuri work as an artist, which is submitted to Shueisha in 1996. In 1999, Naruto was serialized in Shonen Jump magazine, won the monthly "Hop Step Award". Naruto is still ongoing, with more than 40 volumes, and has sold more than 71 million copies in Japan as volume 36, is also being adapted into two anime success. Naruto manga series has become one of Viz Media's top properties, [1] accounting for nearly 10% of all manga sales in 2006. [2] The seventh volume of Viz liberation became the first manga win a Quill Award when ever claimed the award for "Best Graphic Novel "in 2006. [2] As of volume 36, the manga has sold over 71 million copies in Japan. [3] In an exclusive interview and in the Naruto manga, he often mentions the late crop, UKKI-kun. [4] According to Kishimoto, the first time he had the factory office, because the atmosphere of the country is missing, she fed him food plants that have not been disbursed. He continued purchasing several other plants afterwards, but many of them were killed. [4] When Masashi Kishimoto was originally creating the Naruto series, he looked to other shōnen manga for influences while trying to make his characters as unique as possible. [5] Kishimoto cites Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball series as one of these influences, noting that Son Goku, the main character in the Dragon Ball, is a key factor when making Naruto because he was energetic and mischievous personality. [6] For the complete Naruto, Kishimoto worked on creating a rival that is "cool genius", because he believes it is "typical rival character". After reviewing manga for different ideas, he ultimately developed Sasuke Uchiha. When creating the main character, Kishimoto admitted, "I do not have a definite picture of what a heroine should be". He eventually created Sakura Haruno, emphasizing "flirtatious energy and spirit" as its main characteristic. These three characters will be printed to the other three main Naruto teams. [7] For Kishimoto, Sasuke remains the most difficult character for him to draw. While drawing, errors and accidents often result in Sasuke lost youthful appearance, a result of Kishimoto inexperienced in drawing characters mature beyond their years. [8] Although the time and energy spent Kishimoto drawing Sasuke, Sasuke has become his favorite character to draw. [8] When drawing the characters, Kishimoto follows the five-step process that he consistently follows: concept and rough sketch, drafting, inking, shading, and coloring. These steps are followed when he is drawing the actual manga and making the color illustrations that commonly adorn the cover of tankōbon, the cover of Weekly Shonen Jump, or other media, but the toolkit he utilizes occasionally changes. [9] For example, he uses an airbrush for one illustration for a Weekly Shōnen Jump cover, but decided not to use it for future drawings largely due to the cleanup required. [10] When Kishimoto was creating the setting of the Naruto manga, he initially concentrated on the designs for village of Konohagakure, the primary setting of the series. Kishimoto asserts that his design Konohagakure was created "pretty spontaneously without much thought", but admits that the scenery is based on his home in Okayama Prefecture in Japan. Kishimoto created Konohagakure without specifying a particular time or location in the real world, noting that the village was "just a place in [his] head". Without a specific time period, Kishimoto included modern elements in the series such as convenience stores, but specifically excluded projectile weapons and vehicles from the storyline. For reference materials, Kishimoto performs his own research into Japanese culture and alludes to in his work. In an interview, he commented that he "often visits Japanese gardens and [goes] to Kabuki performances" for reference material. [11] Kishimoto added that, as Naruto takes place in a "Japanese fantasy world," the creator must "establish certain rules, in a systematic way" so that he could easily "convey the story." Kishimoto wanted to "draw" the Chinese zodiac tradition, which has a long-standing presence in Japan, the zodiac hand signs originate from this. Regarding technology Kishimoto said that Naruto would not have any firearms. He said he may include automobiles, aircraft, and "low-processing" computers; Kishimoto specified the computers would "maybe" be eight-bit and that they would "definitely not" be sixteen
