Kishimoto's favorite Naruto character.

• Kishimoto is a big fan of Uchiha Sasuke.
• Naruto Uzumaki bears a striking resemblance to Kishimoto.

There are many characters he really admires. In addition to Akatsuki He has previously spoken about some of the characters that he truly adores and admires. One character is Uchiha Sasuke. At the beginning of the series, Kishimoto paid special attention to Sasuke, as his character design was very striking and at the same time used to cause him some problems. It was because of this meticulous effort and attention to detail that Kishimoto became a huge fan of Sasuke's character.

Until today It could be said that Kishimoto is proud of the work he did with Sasuke. And the way he writes is really great.

“This is the original design for Sasuke's character. It hardly changes all the time.

The main difference is the absence of the amulet he wears around his neck. In general, whenever I create a new character, My initial impulse was to use as many lines and decorations as possible. That is until a visual idea is in danger of getting lost in a flurry of tiny details.

This is especially true of the main characters. I was so caught up in what I was doing with them. I make things too hard for myself Until I finally had the feeling to step back and ask myself, “I would be able to draw such fastidious and complex characters over and over again, panel by panel, and issue after issue. Week after week, is it possible?”

There were too many pictures going on with Sasuke. and the overall line is too much So I made him look simple and provide a basic contrast to Naruto's image.

Sasuke is a challenge for me to draw right now. Because he's still a kid and quite cute. But if I'm not careful He will lose his childish qualities. And I pictured him like a much older child or an adult. I've never had a character like him in one of my comics before. It was that kind of young man who was mature and handsome beyond his years.

Keeping the visuals consistently accurate makes him the character that takes the most work and energy from me. Maybe that's why he became my favorite character.”

Besides Sasuke There are also many characters that Kishimoto truly admires. The series' protagonist Naruto Uzumaki is one such character. And it certainly earned him high praise. In fact, many of Naruto's characters appear to be based on Kishimoto himself, as he compares his past self to the story's protagonist. Not only Naruto, but fans also know Kurama. The Nine-Tailed Fox from Naruto is also one of Kishimoto's favorites.

But Kishimoto thought exactly the opposite. When looking at the appearance His favorite Akatsuki member is none other than Hidan. Fans know that Hidan is a unique ninja. One who only cared about Lord Jashin and offered the blood of his people as a sacrifice to him. As long as he has to do that He didn't particularly care which faction he was allied with.

Fans saw the Immortal Duo play exciting roles in several parts of the Naruto series, and Hidan was responsible for one of the biggest deaths early in the second half. of the story When he couldn't kill anyone but Asuma.
