Alright, let’s talk about this fella, Masashi Kishimoto. You know, the guy who made that Naruto thing everyone’s so crazy about. I heard some folks sayin’ he’s got a whole heap of money. Yeah, like, a real pile of it.
Now, I ain’t no fancy accountant or nothin’, but from what I hear, this Kishimoto guy, he’s sittin’ on a pile ’bout $20 million big. Can you imagine that? Twenty million dollars! That’s more money than I ever seen in my whole life, I tell ya.
They say he got all that cash from makin’ them Naruto comics and the TV show. Them kids, they just can’t get enough of it. My grandkids, they watch that stuff all day long if you let ’em. And I guess, every time they watch it, or buy one of them books, some of that money goes right into Kishimoto’s pocket.
- He made a whole lot of comics, they call ’em “manga.”
- Then they made a TV show from them comics, an “anime” they call it.
- And seems like everyone and their dog loves that Naruto fella.
Some other fellas who make them comics, they got money too. I heard tell of this Hara fella, he made somethin’ called Kingdom. They say he’s got ’bout $10 million. Then there’s this Horikoshi guy, he did My Hero Academia, another $10 million. Seems like makin’ them comics is good business, eh?
There’s this Akimoto fella, he made a comic called Kochikame. Now, he’s got even more, $15 million they say. He even got some kinda record for writin’ so many of them comics. And that Akutami fella, he did Jujutsu Kaisen, they say he’s got $12 million. Then this Araki fella, he did somethin’ called Jojo’s Bizzare Adventures, and he’s got about $13 million.
But Kishimoto, he’s up there with the best of ’em, you know? Twenty million dollars, that ain’t chicken feed. They say his Naruto thing is worth more than ten billion dollars all together! Ten billion! That’s all the manga books, the TV show, and all the other stuff they sell with Naruto’s face on it. Lordy, that’s a lot of money!
I reckon Kishimoto worked hard for all that money though. Drawin’ all them pictures, writin’ all them stories… that ain’t easy, I tell ya. And he did it for a long time too. They say he even got married and had kids while he was makin’ Naruto. I guess that’s why the story changed a bit, you know, he made Naruto meet his parents and all that.
So, yeah, Masashi Kishimoto, he’s a rich fella. Twenty million dollars, that’s what they say. And good for him, I say. He made somethin’ folks like, and he made a good livin’ doin’ it. Can’t fault a man for that.
Folks say he might not be the richest comic maker out there, but he’s done alright for himself. He ain’t doin’ too bad at all. Not bad for a fella who just draws pictures for a livin’, I tell ya.
So next time you see them kids watchin’ that Naruto show, or readin’ them books, you remember old Kishimoto sittin’ on his pile of money. He earned it, fair and square, I reckon.
And that’s all I gotta say ’bout that. Now, where’d I put my glasses?
