Which character is Kishi ?

[Ziggurat]

There is an unwritten rule among comic book artists that sooner or later they insert themselves as characters in their own work. Frank Cho for example, portrayed himself as a monkey in his comic books.
Who knows, maybe Kishimoto did the same thing...If he did, who do you think Kishi is ?

I'm thinking Sai, because of his love for drawing that manifests through his jutsu

 

[UchihaBrat]

I've read that he sees a lot of himself in Uzumaki Naruto, but I don't think he actually put a character who is too much like himself in the series, though that's just a hunch:shrug:

 

[Natsu is legendary]

sai sounds good
