Is it odd he looks like a black version of Naruto? and with same personality.

And guess what?

who did Nagato say Naruto reminded him of? Yahiko.

and who's the guy from ruroni kenshin that looks like Naruto?


Did kishi bite or was it just a coincidence?

 

[Venomous Cobra]

Yahiko behaves like naruto? Don't see it. And if it isnt god damn obvious enough nagato meant yahiko his friend, the similarity in names is nothing but a coincidence as the names itself is popular.

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

I don't think they're too similar.

 

[ToshiZO]

Nice catch. Yea they are similar in many ways. It's probably what influenced Naruto's character. Yahiko is better written though.

You shouldn't make a thread for the sake of making a thread....

They both share the iconic shonen behavior that if you ever met them in real life, you would want to be far away from them, I can see Yahiko being an Inspiration to Kishi, plus their hair are similar, but He isn't black, though, He is more light brown-ish color, whereas Naruto is Aryan, I can see Kishi being inspired by Hitler's Aryan fetish of a race with blue eyes and yellow hair when he made Naruto.

wtf is this man.. THESE PPL MAN

 

[Sir Blades]

Kishi was "inspired" by many popular series.

 

[Solo]

Finding similarities in series doesn't mean Kishi was inspired by it. U_U

The term Aryan isn't actually the correct term, Hitler kind of put that word there. Nobody uses that term to refer to blond hair and blue eyes except for Hitler sympathizers.

 

[LoZelda101]

lmao using the anime as an drawing similarity. manga naruto looks nothing like him, especially the early chapters.

 

[Aznkidd]

Well you must know that to be an author, you dont start out of nowhere. You read many things you like and then "it" will influence you and your style.

You shape your own fantasy world out of the environment surround you.

Are you implying I am a Neo-Nazi, boy?

Not implying anything. Just saying only Neo-Nazis use the term Aryan that way. The real Aryans were an ethnicity that may have been Irani/Indian or something.

Sorry, senpai.

I'm pretty sure that this unconfirmed theory that Naruto's appearance is based off of a Supersayian: Blonde hair and blue eyes.

Considering how big of a DBZ fan Kishi is
