About the Author

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.

Customer Reviews

Maybe my expectations were too high
Naruto is one of the best animes out there. Some people think it's not a "true" anime; well, whatever you want to call it, it's one of the greatest and most creative shows out there. Now for the book. I thought this would have a lot of background info on the characters that they didn't say in the show; it doesn't. But it's still a great gift for anyone who likes the series. It has a lot of the stuff from the show that was either skimmed over or was so long ago most people can't remember. It also has puzzles, games, and other goofy Japanese goodness (***this book is NOT WRITTEN IN JAPANESE). Overall it's definitely a fun read.

Great!
I got this book for my daughter and she loved it! She read it over and over again. I read this after her, (I normally read what she reads) , and I, who knew almost nothing about Naruto, found this very inturiging. There are some characters my age, so I think anyone would like this book and the whole Naruto series!!
