who was the artist for naruto shippuden
Naruto is a young shinobi with an incorrigible knack for mischief. Heâs got a wild sense of humor, but Naruto is completely serious about his mission to be the worldâs greatest ninja! Author/artist Masashi Kishimoto was born in 1974 in rural Okayama Prefecture, Japan. Like many kids, he was first inspired to become a manga artist in elementary school when he read Dragon Ball. After spending time in art college, he won the Hop Step Award for new manga artists with his story Karakuri.
