Early experience
1995 (sophomore) appeared in the weekly youth jump as "Karakuri" and won the "HOPSTEP" prize for jumping. Kishimoto Masashi was born in Okayama Prefecture. He is currently serializing the popular cartoon Naruto in the Ying Ji social magazine Youth Jump. Like his twin brother Kishimoto Seishi, Kishimoto Masashi has been interested in painting since he was a child.
According to teacher Kishimoto himself, it has reached the point of persistence. After entering senior high school, Kishimoto Masashi began to collect the comic book "Weekly Youth Jump" published by Ying Ji Society, and thus came up with the idea of becoming a cartoonist. In his early years, he was deeply influenced by works such as Dragon Ball, Zhang Zhang, Big Dipper Boxing, Doraemon, Youyou Bai Shu, etc., and he learned from predecessors in the animation industry such as Toriyama Akira, Dayou Shengbo, Tetsuo Hara, Togashi Yoshihiro and Xiwei Tetsuya. (Kishimoto worships animator Nishio Tetsuya and strongly implores him to do the original painting work for Naruto animation. Now Nishiwei Tetsuya's name is on the employee list of Naruto Animation).
Graduated from kyushu sangyo university. Zeng Lizhi was determined to create martial arts comics, but he gave up turning to ninja comics because of the introduction of Rogue Mark and Infinite Dweller. The first cartoon he drew was a short story featuring a teenage ninja. Before Naruto, a single work was published in the JUMP Supplement, and Naruto who used witchcraft appeared.
Within three years of high school, influenced by his younger brother and the surrounding environment, Kishimoto hardly finished drawing a complete comic story. Later, with his short story "Robot", he won the Hopstep Award of the Ying Ji Institution and embarked on the road of cartoonist. As far as painting style is concerned, Kishimoto Masashi's painting style is more free and easy than his younger brother Kishimoto Seishi's, and he has a good grasp of fighting scenes. After many failures and tempering, Kishimoto finally succeeded with a Naruto.
Kishimoto Masashi's background is the same as that of most cartoonists, and he himself is a replica of Naruto, the protagonist. When I was at school, my grades were not ideal, and I often ranked last in my class. Later, I was admitted to the University of Fine Arts.
This is not a sudden decision. As early as in Kishimoto Primary School, I was greatly influenced by Toriyama Akira's Dragon Ball, and I had a special liking for comics, secretly doodling in the blank space of textbooks. When I was in high school, I drew a short story, and I only dared to give advice to my family and classmates. As a result, it was not submitted because of poor response.
In people's eyes, Kishimoto is a typical example of sudden fame. A Naruto made him popular all over the world from Japan, and his popularity remained high. Game animation is produced from generation to generation, and royalties are paid vigorously. However, the birth of Naruto was not a smooth sailing process. Compared with the smooth sailing of "Tiao" cartoonists, Kishimoto experienced a process of "dystocia".
Character experience
Starting from the origin
Most people are no strangers. Even the most determined readers who always choose to skip the cartoonist information when it appears in magazines must have been familiar with this awkward name for a long time. As for the Naruto fans who regularly follow the serial every week and make the shop owners around cry and worship the immortal tablet, they are only familiar with this person, except that they really don't know how many hairs he has-without him, Naruto has become popular with overwhelming domineering in the past two years. Although the throne of One Piece in Eiichiro Oda is hard to shake, it is the most influential overseas.
What's more, although the comic book has not reached its peak, the pride of the TV version is enough to dislocate Kishimoto's chin with laughter. In a company that has always attached more importance to comics than animation, the TV animation ratings of Naruto have climbed all the way with the tenacity of climbing the cliff, and now it is one of the most popular animations under JUMP.
There is no need to ramble about this man's painting style. Many people called him "handsome to death" and called him "ugly to explosion". It should be mentioned that his other works are actually annoying to people who have accepted his style. It seems that his most suitable and only suitable theme at present is really ninja.
Great wishes
Born in Okayama Prefecture, a typical Japanese-style scenic spot, a place famous for its wealth in the Edo period, also preserved a large number of buildings at that time. Why does Nagang Mountain City look like the building with a long exam? It is next to the famous Seto Inland Sea. It is estimated that the habit of eating shrimp in Kishimoto was developed from childhood, and the shrimp climbing in Seto Inland Sea is a well-known product. Unlike most writers who became a monk halfway or made mistakes like Tsusaka Kita, this man was determined to become a cartoonist from an early age.
childhood
When he was a child, he always liked to drag people in when he was not sure about something. Although his twin brother Kishimoto Seishi is also a supporter of cartoons such as Dragon Ball, he didn't make such a wish. It can be said that my brother dragged me into the fake boat semi-forcibly, although it was voluntary later. For example, Kishimoto participated in the comic exhibition, queued to buy the surrounding area, and had to pull his younger brother with him during graffiti practice. Moreover, the scores of other subjects in Kishimoto junior high school have not been very good, but the scores of fine arts have not been far ahead, and the scores of sacred history are better. It is inevitable to write homework for my brother who is addicted to sketch practice and paint his background black.
stopover
The reason why I don't talk about the history of blood and tears in junior high school is because Kishimoto Masashi almost completely forgot his grand plan as a child in junior high school.
At that time, Mitsuru Adachi's masterpiece Touch (baseball hero) was at its peak, and the ratings of the animated TV version were as high as 32.9%. Naturally, there are also two Kishimoto brothers waiting in front of the TV every day to watch the animation, so the children's ambitions always change casually: the next year after the serialization of Touch, Kishimoto rose to junior high school and joined the baseball team without hesitation. Kishimoto Masashi naturally doesn't have Uesugi Tatsuya's baseball talent, let alone him. As far as we are concerned, we should be thankful for this, otherwise, there would not be an ordinary middle-aged man in the world recalling the past to his children, "Dad was a member of the baseball club", and there would not be a comic book Naruto in the world.
Really set sail
Of course, he went back to the road of comics, which means that Kishimoto Seishi can't escape the bad luck of handyman again. This situation didn't improve slightly until he lived in a separate university. Originally, Kishimoto Masashi University's first choice was the National Kyushu University of Arts and Engineering, but he didn't get in. Of course, he was not admitted. National universities are difficult to get into. If his grades are always dying and he is admitted to Kishimoto, other candidates who sleep only four hours a day will not have to live. Naruto's 10,000-year-old setting in Naruto is somewhat mixed with the author's own resentment.
So he took the second best course and read kyushu sangyo university, the author he liked since he was a child, Tsukuzaka Xiu, but he studied art design in North China, so Kishimoto naturally only entered the Fine Arts Department. Private universities don't have tight courses, so they have a lot of free time to arrange themselves. As a tactless and lazy person, it is naturally the best choice to bury your head in drawing cartoons. During this period, Kishimoto's painting skills improved a lot, and he also took advantage of professional courses. His painting skills are much more mature than those of the new authors of the same period. This can be seen from the smooth movements of his fighting scenes. The angle of the characters and the process of moving are quite beautiful, in one go. Authors with insufficient basic skills dare not do this, and usually try to avoid acting. There are really not many authors who dare to play big articles from the beginning of serialization, but they can't do it without a little foundation.
Ninja beacon
When Kishimoto was a sophomore, he tried to draw an article "KARAKURI" for JUMP, and unexpectedly won the HOPSTEP Award. Excited after getting the bonus, I immediately called Shengshi and dragged him to eat and drink (this brother who is a bit overbearing to his younger brother feels a bit like a brother). Kishimoto later said that this award strengthened his will to be a cartoonist absolutely. Although it sounds inspiring, judging from his later expenses (when he was showing the memories of his favorite friend, Katsumoto), except for having a meal with his younger brother, the rest of this person's money was used to buy the periphery of this work. Rather, it was the bonus that made him determined. The next four years will be his silent period, and the joke that "you can't paint whatever you want" is probably known to everyone. Magic comics include Diablo and the legend of sword wind. Zhu Yuxian, swordsman comics have swordsman's sword heart and infinite inhabitants. In the past, it seemed wise for the editor to resolutely prevent Kishimoto from using these two themes for his debut. Otherwise, what we see today may only be a pale and emaciated ninth-rate cartoonist who eats cups and noodles every day because of the old theme, and may not be moved by Naruto. In the end, he finally decided to make a breakthrough with the theme of "Ninja". At that time, there were really no excellent ninja comics in the way, so this entry point was the right choice. Of course, at first, the editor didn't dare to let him go directly to the weekly magazine, so he made a short story in the supplement to ask for directions. After publication, the reader's feedback was very good. After a period of plot preparation and editorial discussion, the 43rd issue of 1999 Youth JUMP》43 and the long serial Naruto were officially launched.
make a turn
Look back at Kishimoto Masashi. Only in this person can we clearly understand how the reason why my brother shoveled the wall in some cartoons came from. Although the reason is nothing more than "living in my brother's shadow for a long time", we can clearly feel that Kishimoto Seishi, who is completely resentful, was arrested by his brother as an assistant since he was a child, and he still often helps his brother until now. Although there is often work to be done, as long as Kishimoto Masashi gives the order, his "brother's bad jump" will happen. Whether it is successful or not, it is a symbol of acknowledging the author's strength. The problem is that when Kishimoto Masashi has been wandering in "Youth Leap" for five and a half years, Kishimoto Seishi's "666 Satan" can only be serialized in other magazines. Poor strength is only one of the reasons. More importantly, they are twins, and they have been together almost all the time on the road of comics. It is natural that the style of painting is similar to the story and even the details. As a best-selling weekly, it is not necessary and impossible for two authors with the same style to appear at the same time.
When Kishimoto Masashi's Naruto has published 27 volumes of singles, TV editions, photo collections, role formula books and six peripheral games, Kishimoto Seishi, his age, can only introduce himself as a newcomer (some news actually do this, calling him "Kishimoto Seishi is a newcomer in the comic book industry"), and he is often referred to as "Kishimoto Masashi's younger brother", as if he doesn't even know his name. Only Xiao Jian, who had never painted Chess Soul, could feel the same way (at that time, everyone mentioned that he was "Mr. Nobuhiro Watsuki" and would rather read such a long attribute because he could not find other words to express his qualifications).
And his 666 Satan is often compared with Naruto, which is even more tragic in China. On the cover of his 666 Satan, the D cartoonist simply marked a new book by the author of Naruto for sale. Fortunately, he shouldn't know about it, or he might be angry and come back to life. In this case, it is estimated that Kishimoto Masashi also feels guilty, but he once said frankly: "I am sorry for bullying my brother for a long time." You even know you're sorry. Although all the above are true, they are twins after all. This is a good relationship for brothers who grew up together. While Kishimoto's works are popular, the workload and pressure have also increased a lot. Shi Sheng still decompresses his brother from time to time and shares some of his works (this is really his brother's role model).
leave
20041early October, the fifth anniversary of Naruto's breakthrough. Five years. Not too long, not too short. Enough to make the eyes of young and frivolous teenagers strong, enough to make a new person close to the temple of the master. When a cartoon has not faded for five years, has not made people feel procrastinating, and can make people cry, it is only one step away from the classic.
I don't want to pile up too many compliments here. Circulation, ranking and sales can only be used as a side emphasis, but it really comes from the heart. No matter how the words are combined, I feel that the words are very poor, only the most real touch.
. I can't help but thank this Kishimoto Masashi, who showed people another shining way of life. When they are in tears, when they face forward, when they stumble, when they fall and are hit hard, when they triumph, everything is unattainable but full of hope, even if blood splashes five steps, it is the hottest burning. Those are dreams, and the brightest life gesture that people look up to is enough to erase all unnecessary sentimentality. Every second is growing in the most vivid way, and there is no need to pretend to be sad.
Kishimoto Masashi's cartoon Naruto mentioned his favorite masterpieces "Young Dragon Ball" and "Young Akira" many times, which shows that he was deeply influenced by famous artists, absorbed their advantages and made him what he is today.
Use state
On July 20 13, Kishimoto Masashi, the author of Naruto comics, made a weekly work list when interviewed by the media. In the interview, Kishimoto described his work schedule and revealed that he had been overworked since 20 1 1, and said that he was "old, maybe he had already gone to that world". Since then, the weekly work schedule has been published in magazines. Kishimoto had to work 19 hours a day two days before the deadline, and only slept for 3 hours. After handing in the current cartoon, he will immediately conceive the next cartoon and sleep for 6 hours every day from Thursday to Saturday.

Dialogue record
Dialogue between Kishimoto Masashi and Eiichiro Oda.
As two cartoonists, Eiichiro Oda and Kishimoto Masashi are very similar in age, and they are the same generation. They also grew up watching the cartoon master Toriyama Akira's "Dragon Ball". Both of them are loyal fans of "Dragon Ball" and share the same interests. The topic of "Dragon Ball" is constantly mentioned in this conversation. Under the headline on the cover of Dialogue, it is convenient to write that the comic genre they are proud of is Master Roshi Stream.
On the Peak of Dragon and Tiger
Is the strongest competitor and the best ally-
The two people standing in "Youth Jump", no, stand at the peak of youth comics.
With the same reverence for Toriyama Akira Dragon Ball.
Exchange respect for each other and obsession with comics! In the last episode of Naruto, a straw hat and a line of signs were painted on the rock of Naruto, but in this regard, Kishimoto got in touch with Oda in advance. And asked: "because it is set as a graffiti for children, can I draw a straw hat and a sign of a group of people?" I don't think it's a problem, but considering this is the last episode, I'm worried that Huo Ying fans will be angry.
Omoda said that because cartoonists give people the impression of "competing in a magazine", many people think that cartoonists can't be friends, but there is no such thing at all. They also have connections in their private lives.
Ota started serializing two years earlier than Kishimoto, so Kishimoto's impression of Ota is "big teacher". At first, he called the other person "Mr. Oda", but Oda said "Never call me". Because for him, Kishimoto is the same age as himself, so he can never be called a "teacher".
Ota realized the existence of Kishimoto from the beginning of the newcomer period. He felt that the other side's painting skills were great, and both of them belonged to the genre of "Master Roshi Stream", so he began to pose as a decisive battle with the other side. But after I really know Kishimoto, I think he is a gentle and excellent person, so I think winning or losing doesn't matter.
It's great that both sides can understand each other's difficulties. When you are unhappy, it is very important to choose who to talk to. Once Kishimoto, who stands in the same position, says "I know", Oda feels that the other party really knows himself.

Main work
Naruto
"NARUTO-ナルト-", also known as "Forbearance of Fox", is a juvenile cartoon work by Japanese cartoonist Kishimoto Masashi. Describe the experience of the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki and his partner in the fictional world of the author. There are also kakashi gaiden (***6 words), Book of Face, Book of War, Book of Fight, Book of Author, Book of Capital, Book of Array and1/theatrical version.
Because of its compact plot, bizarre and changeable virtual skills and full sense of rhythm, it is quite popular in Japan and even China. As a result, this series of cartoons and their surroundings have become eye-catching works, with many fans who support book fans. Naruto 1999 has been serialized in the magazine "Weekly Youth Jump" of Jiyingshe. Until May of 20 10, the cover of "Jump" serial magazine indicated that the total sales volume of this cartoon had exceeded 100 million, making it the fifth most popular cartoon since the establishment of the Film Press.
Every sentence in Naruto's early animated version usually contains a two-sentence comic story. In the animated version, in order to prevent the plot development from overlapping or exceeding the original, the comic plot was changed to the original plot in episodes 136 to 220. In Naruto Storm Biography, animation sets 277-29 1, 3 10-332, 364-37 1 and 396-4 16 are original plots. The animation has achieved high ratings in Japan, and the virtual protagonist Naruto even made a record selection in the Japanese edition of Newsweek in June 2006. In 2004, comics were further adapted into movies, which continued the sales of comics and animations. Naruto movies continue to sell well. From 2004 to 2006, the number of people watching movies exceeded 3 million for three consecutive years.
12 years ago, the official story of Naruto began. A bijuu, known as Kyubi no Youko Fox, attacked the village of Konoha Ninja. It is said that as long as you wag your tail, it will collapse and tsunami. At that time, Namikaze Minato, the fourth generation of "Golden Flash", sacrificed his life and sealed Kyubi no Youko on the newborn child Naruto Uzumaki. Huo Ying, the fourth generation, was regarded as a hero by the villagers, but he hoped that the villagers would also regard Naruto as a hero. However, the villagers believe that Naruto is the embodiment of the fox, not as the hero behind the fox seal, so Naruto was discriminated against from an early age. But Naruto became a fire shadow and was recognized.
The resurrected third-generation Huo Ying has banned villagers and future generations from mentioning the Kyubi no Youko attack, but this still can't stop people from crowding out Naruto. Even their unsuspecting offspring were infected by their parents and alienated Naruto. So Naruto was isolated from childhood. Often play pranks to attract others' attention. This situation gradually changed after he successfully passed the graduation examination of Ninja School, and he tried to become a "Huo Ying".
Naruto's story contains serious and interesting plots. The whole story focuses on the growth of Naruto and his friends and depicts their mutual feelings in their life experiences. The main characters include Naruto, two partners, Sasuke Uchiha and Haruno Sakura, and their mentor, Hatake Kakashi, the Replica Ninja.
