Naruto was first introduced in 1997 by Masashi Kishimoto and became an almost immediate popular icon in both Japan and the United States. Naruto is a hyperactive adolescent who is the ‘vessel’ for the ‘Nine Tailed Demon Fox’ who was imprisoned in his body at birth. Naruto has become so popular in both Japan and North America that not only is the manga story still producing new issues, but there are two anime TV series as well as several video game have been produced about the character.
Like most major popular characters there are several ‘unofficial’ doujinshi publications that have Naruto as the main character. The doujinshi are Japan’s independent artists and producers who take well known figures from various genres and reproduce them (without the owners’ permission) in hentai themed mangas, anime, and flash video games.
