What Makes Databooks Canon?

[Booker]

Does anyone care to explain this to me?

 

[RaitonOniKairRasengan]

Kishi and editors put them out..? Otherwise it wouldn't be canon

 

[Sabuto Hayashi]

I believe it's because the databooks are written and supervised by Kishimoto himself.

He decides what stats each character has and how each technique works.

The fact that Kishi write them

 

[Orochimaruofthesound]

some movies are made by kishi

databooks are canon but can be refuted

 

[Professor Finesser]

They where made by Kishimoto and based on the manga

Doesn't Kishi write the movies too

some parts of the movie(road to ninja) are canon and some parts aren't.
for example: itachi > ms obito is canon

Databook are made by Kishimoto himself , although you should not compare characters using the overall score but individual values.
