Masashi Kishimoto
The Dreamsmith of Shinobi Legends
I drew a world where even the lonely shine.
I grew up with my twin brother, always drawing, always imagining. I wanted to create something that let misfits feel seen — even if they were just kids who talked too much in class. Naruto took a lot out of me, but I never regretted telling his story.
What I'm Into: ink-stained fingers, shonen fight scenes, my brother’s ideas, ramen that doesn’t spill, quiet mornings before deadlines
