Which character(s) is Naruto based off?

[IchiSchwag]

I think it's Goku.

1) Hard-working mentality.
2) Orange gear.
3) Loves to eat.
4) Blonde hair.
5) Rasengan/Spirit Bomb
6) Dumb
etc.

Kishi already stated that Goku was his inspiration for Naruto's character.

 

[The Rasengan]

yah its goku
Masashi (spelling) said he got inspiration from the Dragonball Series! wat is weird is that Dragonball z and the other 1s r actually more popular than naruto cause little kids watch it all the time!!!
