I noticed, that there is still confusion about the age cap between some characters.
I want to explain, what is correct and what is incorrect

Databook says:
Kakashi grad age=5
Kakashi chunin=6

Obito grad age=9
Obito chunin=11

Rin grad age =9
Rin chunin=11

Gai grad age=7
Gai chunin=11

Hayate grad age=12
Hayate chunin=13

Anko grad age=10
Anko chunin=12

Ibiki grad age=10
Ibiki chunin=15

What does this mean?
It means that Kakashi became a chunin in the first chunin exam he took, right after the academy and that Rin and Obito, who took it together with him (as seen in the manga) didnt become one. Obito and Rin became chunins in the next year.

Obito died(was assumed dead) at 13-14, the year that Kakashi became a jounin.
That means Kakashi has become a jounin at ~10 years old, cause he is 3-4 years younger than Obito (ignore the wiki, of kakashi becoming a jounin at age 13, it is wrong).

Gai.
Kakashi is 29-30 right now and for Gai its 30. This is correct, seeing Gai his birthday is in january and Kakashi his birthday is in september. This could mean that Gai will turn 31, when Kakashi is still 29. Giving a 2 years difference.
Gai graduated the academy at age 7 and Kakashi did at age 5. They both took the chunin exam that year (makes you wonder why they call Gai a dropout, when he graduated at age 7, but that is a different topic).
This fits perfectly fine with their current age gaps as adults.

Hayate, Anko and Ibiki=wrong:

Hayate.
Hayate died at age 23 in part 1 (kakashi was 26-27 in part 1). This would mean that Hayate is 3 years younger than Kakashi right?
Hayate graduated the academy at age 12 and became a chunin at age 13.
This data cannot be correct, since he fought vs Kakashi, Obito and Rin in the chunin exam.
He is 7 years older than Kakashi and this means that Hayate should have died at age 30.

If it is correct that he died when he was 23 in part 1, than this would mean that he was 1-2 years old, when he took the chunin exam. He would be 3-4 years younger than Kakashi, who graduated at 5 xd. Making him 1-2 years old when he graduated and took the chunin exam. Maybe he used diaper attack? :D
I think we can all agree that, that has to be a load of bull :), so Hayate must have died at age 30 or both graduation age and year of death are both wrong.

Anko .
Anko her statistics are incorrect as well.
Anko is currently 24(and this is not part 1 anymore).
She took the same chunin exam, that Kakashi, Obito and Rin took.
She graduated at age 10 and became a chunin at age 11.
This is impossible. Kakashi is 29-30 atm and graduated at age 5 and became a chunin at age 6.
Anko would be 5-6 years younger than Kakashi, if she is 24 atm. That would mean she graduated and took the chunin exam in about the year that she was born xd. Impossible :p. This means that Anko should be 34-35 right now, cause she is 5 years older than kakashi(Anko graduated at 10), or her graduation age is not correct.

Ibiki.
The same applies to Ibiki, who graduated at age 10 as well, took the same chunin exam that Kakashi took and Ibiki is said to be 31 atm. This has to be 34-35 or his graduation age should be different.
This guy took quite some years before he became a chunin at age 15, for someone who graduated at age 10.


I hope this clears it up :).
Thanks for reading.

Obito and Rin didn't even graduated from the academy by the day Kakashi became chunin.
Your argument is invalid.

This guy is right, except these things aren't from his head... copying from narutowiki much? It's my calculations.

Kakashi became a jounin at the age of 13, not 10. Pretty sure that was actually stated in the Gaiden arc..I'll go back and look.

Agree with most of what you said (having said most of it myself already). However, I don't agree with the Kakashi Jounin thing. It's been said that Kakashi was Jounin at 13, not 10. Meaning Obito and Kakashi are the same age.

When it comes to ages, Kishi fails. Did he make chapter 599 on drugs?

Kakashi didn't become a Jounin at 13... Obito "died" during the war as 13, and as Kakashi is 3-4 years younger, it was 9-10

It would make Minato's statement of Kakashi becoming strict with the rules after his father's passing a little weird. Given Kakashi at the time(if he was 9 at the time of becoming a jounin) wouldn't have even passed the academy yet, and even if he was 5(making him 10 as a jounin), it would have been RIGHT after.

Not that it's not possible, just makes things weird. Kakashi marveled at Itachi's ability to become an ANBU captain at the age of 13. That shouldn't have been such an accomplishment to him if he became a jounin at 9 or 10.

Yes, it's hard to believe that a 9 year old kid was running around in 3rd Shinobi World War, but yeah.

And @ those with a similar question.

Not all classmates have the same age.
Kakashi was 5 in the graduation class, where Obito and Rin where 9.
Meaning Kakashi just did it the whole thing faster.
When Kakashi graduated at 5, his classmates Obito and Rin where 9, graduated as well and took the chunin exam together.

This guy is right, except these things aren't from his head... copying from narutowiki much? It's my calculations.
I am no copy cat. You can find databook info on many places on the net. I cant make them up though, so I have to get the data from internet or the books themselfs. The wiki even has some stuff wrong, like Kakashi becomming a jounin at 13, which is not correct(as I explain in this thread, so I didnt copy, otherwise I would have copied that too). Obito died around that age (not really died, but was assumed dead), that makes kakashi ~10 at best as jounin.

It would make Minato's statement of Kakashi becoming strict with the rules after his father's passing a little weird. Given Kakashi at the time(if he was 9 at the time of becoming a jounin) wouldn't have even passed the academy yet, and even if he was 5(making him 10 as a jounin), it would have been RIGHT after.

I agree that the ages feel a bit weird.
Like in the war at 9-10 as a jounin and such, but this is just what the data says.
I am not Kishi :). Becomming a chunin at 6 seems way to extreme in my book.
You learn to read around that age right? xd Anyway, this is Kishi his manga and this are the ages he came up with.
