Who is Hatake Kakashi, and while we are asking questions about him, why does he always wear a mask?
He is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto.
Kakashi is the teacher of Team 7, a group of ninjas made up of the series’ principal characters: Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno.
Kakashi’s face is covered because he didn’t want anyone to observe him getting a nosebleed.
(If you are an anime fan, you already know that a nosebleed isn’t a sign of injury or illness but a way to show that a character is having adult thoughts.)
He initially appears detached and apathetic.
However, as the series continues, he develops a strong sense of loyalty to his friends and students.
Kishimoto, the author of the series, intended for Kakashi’s teaching style to be harsh but ultimately changed his mind.
He is more of a calming presence for his students.
His personality development is easy to discern in these Kakashi quotes! Kakashi’s past is a large part of the plot in the series.
