WHAT IT IS

So what exactly is a fanlisting? A fanlisting is a web clique that lists fans of a particular subject. Unlike most web cliques, a person does not need a web site in order to join. Fans from around the world submit their information to their approved fanlisting and they are then listed to show their love for the subject. For more information on fanlistings, please visit thefanlistings.org

KISHIMOTO MASASHI

Kishimoto Masashi can be seen as a young but extremely successful mangaka with great talents and unique imaginations. He is the mangaka of the ever so popular shonen (boys) manga Naruto.

Kishimoto Masashi's Naruto is the most popular ninja manga in Japan today - if not the most popular manga, period. With its beautifully detailed artwork, great characters, and elaborate ninja fantasy world, it's not hard to see why the manga has taken over the imagination of fans everywhere.

-Interview of Kishimoto Masashi, from English Monthly Shonen Jump, June issue, Volume One.

After winning Shueisha's "Hop Step" Award for new manga artists for Karakuri, about a WW2 special forces squad in 1995, Masashi published his one-shot version of Naruto in Akamaru Jump in 1997, then he debutes with Naruto in the Weekly Shonen Jump in 1999, both the manga series and Masashi's popularity grew each day. Naruto is still going strong and Masashi's growth of popularity and skills are unstoptable. So if you are interested, pick up a Naruto graphic novel in a book store near you or go download fan translated manga online and explore the wonderful and imaginative world of Kishimoto Masashi!

You can read the interview with Kishimoto Masashi from the Naruto Artbook, which is kindly translated by the wonderful Pazuzu

ABOUT FANLISTING

To join this fanlisting, you do not only appreciate the "cool fights" in Masashi's manga, but you also appreciate him as an artist, appreciate his style, sense of humor, imagination and everything! I was really impressed by his detailed and well coordinated artwork, humor and imagination.

Happy Go Lucky, you'll probably say this is such a lame name, but really, I can't think of any other more suitable name for this fanlisting. Masashi is a very lucky young mangaka, to be so popular with his debute work, and to mature and progress so much in just one manga, he is talented, with some luck. And through his writings and notes, we can see that he is a pretty optimistic guy, always happy, always think that everything will turn out to be fine even when he's in trouble. Quote: So I thought everything would be fine since I was just a stupid young man, but now I think about it, thank god for being stupid!

ABOUT LAYOUT

This is the fourth version layout of this fanlisting, featuring young Naruto and Sasuke from Naruto. This layout features the scans of one of my favourite scenes from Naruto. It's from chapter 228, where Naruto and Sasuke fought. Anyways, I'm just abusing my power as a mangaka fanlisting owner to use any scan from the manga to make the layout. =P For more information on this layout, please visit Second Heaven, my layout archive.
