-THE DEVIEW OF HIROAKI SAMURA THAT MADE ART STUDENTS GO NUTS-
Kishimoto: My.... one of my dreams came true today. its been my dream to meet you, Samura-sensei.
Samura: Ah shucks (laugh).
Kishimoto: Im not kidding. From my college days I've loved (your work)... don't know what to say or how to say it anymore...
I want to tell you so many things, it's sick.
To be honest, I'm no more for Naruto topics today!
I'd love to talk about Mugen no junin (eng title: blade of the immortal) nonstop (laugh).
Samura: well well (laugh)
Kishimoto: I clearly remember when Mugen no junin first appeared on Afternoon (a monthly seinen manga magazine from Kodansha).
I was a university freshman in the department of Art, living in-hall and students in the hall were buzzing like "this issue has an amazing shit!" "Kishimoto, just check this.
if my memory serves me right, you're a would be mangaka, right?" they said.
and besides, I was working on a samurai manga that time.
as I heard that the manga on the issue was a samurai manga, I thought Id read for my info... .... ...and then I was like "ah this is too on a different plane (than mine)." (laugh)
Samura: well well well well (laugh)
Kishimoto: Im telling the truth! cos your art is so mad great. it shocked me.
So I thought "now my samurai manga is no go.
it cant win" and decided to change the genre.
Samura: had you kept writing the samurai manga and not thought that way, a masterpiece of samurai manga would've been born to jump by now tho.
Kishimoto: well Rurouni Kenshin already started then (laugh). so I changed the genre a bit and decided to write a ninja manga.
Samura: but, in the end Ninja was an excellent pick. the ninja image of naruto won ninja lovers overseas as well (as domestic).
kishimoto: that's true.
I was surprized like "i didnt know people in foreign countries like Ninja this much!" but even overseas...
ive seen foreign people reviewing narutos and one of them was detesting Naruto.
it was a video of the reviewer talking away on youtube or something and the wall behind him(/her?) was fully covered with Mygen no junin posters and such.
id love to boast to him like "im talking with samura-san you worship in person, kid!!" now (laugh).
Samura: (lol) well actually once in a while someone like that compares my manga with another in a similar genre and run down the latter to praise mine to make me feel (like shouting) "for gods sake, stop it! ".
I can't stand the embarrassment.
Samura: Ah shucks (laugh).
Kishimoto: Im not kidding. From my college days I've loved (your work)... don't know what to say or how to say it anymore...

Kishimoto: also with Mugen no junin characters look good.
and girls are all pretty aren't they?
Moreover, they are highly distinguishable from one another.
it's hard to draw varieties of girls.
Samura: I'm bad at it too.
With men, even when their facial parts are ugly on closer examination, they can be made look cool in many ways, you know.
with ladies, however they have to be somewhat gorgeous and their faces eventually become similar, it cant be helped.
Kishimoto: You do draw even minor characters distinguishablely.
no chara has a same eye shape to the others.
but Samura-sensei, while you draw their faces differently, many girls are flatties.
Samura: and as how skinny they are, their frames end up being similar in the most cases.
Kishimoto-san, (flat) or big, which female breasts do you prefer?
Kishimoto: unexpectedly, I prefer them big.
Samura: you do (laugh).
I mean, we are supposed to draw each other's manga characters at the end of this interview.
So I was pondering who I should draw and told "charas like Hinata drawn by sensei (samura) are easy to picture.
if asked to draw a heroine, try header and challenge (yourself to draw) big boobies like Tsunades.
or Chooza if a man. " by my assistant.
that I should challenge at a fatty or big boobs (laugh).
Kishimoto: (laugh)
Samura: so, I think I'll push myself and have a go at big boobs...
