Naruto's Cast Is One of the Best in Manga The Series Is Packed With Fabulous Characters . While ... Naruto Is So Good That It Earned the Major Seal of Approval From an Iconic Manga Artist.

While Naruto has had many series and works that inspired it, these five manga are the ones that had the most influence on it.

Naruto series creator Masashi Kishimoto, much like other manga creators, began with a much different kind of art style for the series that evolved the more he continued to release new chapters.

Naruto is built around stories of ninja, including that of its protagonist, Uzumaki Naruto. It’s an original world with its own unique history and culture, invented by the manga artist Kishimoto ...

Naruto is keeping busy these days, and it seems the manga’s artist just made himself even busier. After all, the team behind Naruto just announced an art contest is underway.

The art suggests it will also follow him when he was younger and about the age of Naruto during his storylines. It will be a 55-page one-shot with color pages as well.

The manga artist set himself apart from Naruto's creator with simpler backgrounds and more contrasting black and white choices, "out of laziness to use the screentones" that give mangas texture.

The famed manga artist died earlier in March. The creators of One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Quest, and more have shared tributes to Dragon Ball's Akira Toriyama, who died aged 68 on March 1, 2024.
