Years after the fourth ninja war, he founded his own family with Okumura Sawako.

Kakashi's appearance

Kakashi is a powerful and relatively tall shinobi with spiky silver hair and dark colored eyes. Since his first jōnin mission, he has received a small scar that runs down to his cheek over his left eye (The eye where he possesses a Sharingan). Since his early childhood, Kakashi has worn a mask on the lower half of his face. But we will come back to this a little later in the blog. ⬇

In the few instances where Kakashi has been shown without his mask, it has been noted that he has a narrow jaw and a mole. All in all, Kakashi is a very handsome man greatly appreciated by the fans, as shown by Teuchi and Ayame's reaction to seeing his face. 😍 Chiyo once confused him with his father Sakumo Hatake, whom he looks very much like, although most of his face is masked. Kakashi's personality is further accentuated by his expression his attitude exuding laziness, his aloof manner, his relaxed voice and his minimalist attitude. But still, he is very serious, strategic and motivated when the situation requires it. 💪🏻

Theories of Kakashi's mask

Some of Naruto's theories were that Kakashi Hatake was secretly ugly underneath his mask, suggesting that he might have cod lips or buck teeth.🐰 Despite Team 7's hilarious efforts throughout this episode, all Kakashi reveals is that underneath his mask is... ANOTHER MASK, of a lighter shade than usual.

With a collective sigh, Kakashi's fans had all but given up on seeing what was under his mask. However, many fans were pleasantly surprised when an episode of for Naruto Shippuden aired that ended the mystery! 🔍

Who is under the mask of Kakashi?

Episode 469 ( 368 episodes between the first time the secret of kakashi's mask is mentioned and its revelation) This is called keeping us on our toes 🥵) shows that Naruto has always been curious to see Kakashi's face. Although Sakura and Sasuke reject this idea, a ninja no one knows who goes by the name of Sukea shows up and suggests they go digging through the Konoha archives to find a picture of Kakashi's face without his mask. Sukea says that he will help them, in exchange for the big scoop he will get if he is able to publish it in the newspapers and on TV.

They manage to break into the place where confidential documents are stored in Konoha.🍃 They are about to find and show to all the fans the picture of Kakashi's face, when they are intercepted by the ANBU members who force them to cut short their mission.

Mission: to photograph Kakashi's face

As a backup plan, Sukae suggests trying to photograph 📸 Kakashi as he is about to eat. Predictably, this goes awry. When they look at the pictures, all that is seen is a bird hovering on the road, followed by Akamaru, who jumps on Kakashi then hiding his face.



Sasuke laments, "I feel that a divine power is working in this place."

Kakashi's disguise

In a final attempt to remove this mask, Team 7 gathers the rest of the aspiring ninja 🐱‍👤 of their generation to join them in a plan that sets up each ninja's individual abilities. Unsurprisingly, this also fails, as it's revealed that Kakashi has been posing as the photographer Sukae all along, messing with his students to help them bond. And it's a pretty successful mission because at the end we can see the 3 ninjas laughing together. More than in the art of Ninjutsu, Kakashi showed us that he was also a master in the art of disguise. Nobody expects to see Kakashi's face in this way.

Although Naruto and his friends can't see Kakashi's face, fans can see the glory of his handsome look when he takes off his disguise. Everyone knew that behind that mask was a beautiful man, right? It looks like his scar reaches his cheek, and he also has a mole on his chin.

We even had the right to a small scene in bonus where Kakashi is in ninja outfit and is about to put his mask back. 🎭

Tableau Kakashi

Naruto author Masashi Kishimoto had only once briefly revealed Kakashi's face in the form of a manga drawing that appeared in a booklet📕 given away at the Naruto art exhibition held in Japan last April. Something to amuse and intrigue even the most avid fans. Charismatic and powerful, the mystery around the face of this jonin has lulled many of us during childhood. For our part, we are not disappointed with the revelation of the face of the emblematic ninja leader of Team 7.

Why is Kakashi hiding his face?

Since Kakashi's mask 😷 does not seem to hide an abnormality on the teacher's body, why would he bother to hide his face with a mask? Naruto anime from the series Naruto SD Rock Lee: the adventures of a budding ninja answered the questions of many fans of the world of ninjas even if it is in a tone of irony.

According to the manga, Kakashi keeps a mask on his face because he doesn't want to get caught with a nosebleed. 👃🏻 Manga fans know that a nosebleed does not represent a sick body or an injury. Rather, it is an indication of an adult's thoughts. Since Kakashi is a fan of Jiraya's romance novels, the mask is probably a good choice.
