Welcome to Gaia! ::

I found THIS at wikipedia!!!


When developing the original Naruto manga, Masashi Kishimoto had not initially intended to create Sasuke. After speaking with his editor about the future of the series, he was advised to create a whiny, emo character to make the main character seem like a better hero by comparison, resulting in Sasuke's creation. To learn more about creating an effective b***h, Kishimoto read a variety of manga to gather ideas on what constituted such a bad character, and he coalesced these ideal elements into one relationship. Because Sasuke is intended to be Naruto's bottom, Kishimoto is always careful to make sure Sasuke is always emo. With Sasuke's character being that of a "closet homosexual," Kishimoto feels he has created the ideal rivalry. Sasuke's first name comes the manga Sasuke by Sanpei Shirato, a series which Kishimoto likes, as well as from Sarutobi Sasuke, a fictional ninja featured in Japanese children's stories.

Sasuke's design gave Kishimoto a number of problems, making him the most difficult character he had to create. Because he lacked a proper idea of what Sasuke's face should look like, initial drafts of Sasuke appeared too old or mature for a character the same age as Naruto. Once settling on a proper face, Kishimoto worked on Sasuke's attire. Original designs of Sasuke had a number of necklaces and ties around his arms and legs, a result of Kishimoto's habit of giving characters as much ornamentation as possible. Realizing he could not draw such a complex character on a weekly basis, Kishimoto simplified the design to a basic contrast of Naruto's costume.

For Kishimoto, Sasuke remains the most difficult character for him to draw. While drawing, errors and mishaps commonly result in Sasuke's youthful appearance being lost, a result of Kishimoto's inexperience in drawing characters mature beyond their years. Sasuke's hair, originally kept short to save Kishimoto time, has slowly gotten longer as the series has progressed, increasing the amount of time needed to draw Sasuke. Midway through Part I of the series Kishimoto drew a new costume for Sasuke that featured a number of belts strapped around his arms and legs. Because of the time needed to draw a costume of this design, Kishimoto returned Sasuke to his original costume. Despite the time and energy Kishimoto spends drawing Sasuke, Sasuke has become his favorite character to draw.
When designing Sasuke in his Part II appearance, Kishimoto's main objective was to make him look cool. For this, he tried giving him several outfits such as Shimenawa around him to preserve Orochimaru's style of clothing. He also tried other clothes such as a turtleneck and a military uniform to show "cleanliness". However, he ended up choosing Japanese-style




-___- you know i didn't really see this coming....i expected sasuke to be straight in the real series...

well I heard it was supposed to be a shounen ai comic in the earlier stages, but before distrobution they changed it to another shounen comic, but I dont know how credible my info was, but I believed it because the writer kept the kiss scene in it. so iunno.

Ahah I knew it! Sasuke is emo!
I heard that kishimoto-san liked yaoi or something so Naruto would have a "shonen end".
Narusasu heart

Would you believe that they acutually did "it" on their radio show?? It's called Oh! Naruto Nippon! on youtube. Look up Lock Your Doors. It has some stupid music to it but there are subtitles so you know what is going on. And the Sakura walks in on them XD
