Masashi Kishimoto Doesn’t Have Social Media
It’s true that many famous manga authors use social media, such as Yoshihiro Togashi, the author of Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter, and Kohei Horikoshi, the author of My Hero Academia.
However, this does not apply to the creator of Naruto, as it has been advised through official Naruto franchise profiles that Masashi Kishimoto does not post on social media.
Masashi Kishimoto Doesn’t Have Social Media
On X (Twitter), there is a verified profile with the name Masashi Kishimoto, which if not carefully analyzed, can easily deceive many Naruto fans:
In the profile information, we can see that it is a “parody account,” meaning that it is not the real Kishimoto in this case, something that at first glance is difficult not to fall for this prank.
The official Naruto franchise profiles have warned that Masashi Kishimoto does not post on social media so that fans are aware that any account with the author’s name is fraudulent.
【ご注意ください】
漫画家の岸本斉史先生はすべてのSNSで一切発信を行っておりません。
岸本斉史先生を名乗るアカウントはご本人のものではございませんので、ご注意ください。
