Animator Masashi Kishimoto

He is the creator of Naruto and also an animator with a net worth of over 20 million dollars due to the worldwide popularity of Naruto and merchandise sales from Naruto makes him even more successful.

Most people like Naruto because of the fact that it’s a multi genre type of series and has deep messages and meanings in the series that can actually be applied to real life. The reason this series inspires me is because kishimoto started as a basic kid in school who was average and not very popular but had a talent for art. He was not extremely smart when it comes to core classes which I can relate to personally myself.

I also find it inspirational that he became successful and made a living despite being a social outcast.
