Why does.Naruto resembles so much characters???

[SageKartik]

I was wondering why does naruto resembles so much characters like Jiraya, Obito, the child he meets in star village in anime, lee (b'z of his never giving up), every jinchurik he Meets, tsunade's brother and his boyfriend and konohamaru......

 

[~Sasuke~]

It's because he has that determination in him

 

[DocThao]

b/c Kishi is trying too hard to make others "relatable" to Naruto

 

[Sea Of Thy Soul]

Because he's backed up by plot AND he's the main character.

 

[naruman]

Plot basically , kishi wanted naruto to connect with all of them .

 

[Cosman]

Obito is a legit parallel so I'll let him slide.

But the physical resemblances between Naruto and so many characters I always associated to being Kishi's laziness.

It's not just the expression either. Obito, Yahiko, and even young Jiraiya have incredibly similar hairstyles and the patented Naruto-colgate smile.

It's weird, but strangely endearing to me

edit: No excuse for Kishi. This is legit Naruto with orange hair and no whiskers :devil:

[3 Days Grace]

he's the main character

 

[Naruto KM V2]

I guess that just other way kishi connect Naruto to the characters

It's called Foreshadowing. Which hints that every character naruto meets he bares their burdens on his back. As well as NaruSaku Sorry sakura haters...

Because Kishi is to damn lazy to come up with any more designs...

That and Naruto is suppose to 'resemble' them in ways of not only personality, but looks as well, which would trigger 'a walk down memory lane' moments for characters such as Tsunade (her brother) and to show the 'similarities' Naruto had with Jiraiya (though to me Jiraiya had a young Minato hair style, with a Naruto pesonality ) and Obito (but is like a blonde opposite counterpart) and so on.

Naruto needs certain people to be modeled after, but still unique in his own way

 

[foxyladyland]

Kishi took some tips from street fighter when all the main characters motivate ryu because he motivates them.

also people like similar stuff and ideas

 

[Zebstrika]

Kishi is just lazy.

Because all those Shonen Jar-heads look and feel the same. It's a disease actually.
