Talk:Kakashi Hatake

Something to Possibly Add
I think it would be a worthwhile addition to work it in that when partnered with Guy, he was able to hold off several "Version 2" jinchuriki. However, I can't figure out how I would word it nor where to go. Does anyone else think it'd be a good addition and can find a good way to work it in the page? Skitts (talk) 17:20, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

Anyone? Skitts (talk) 21:19, December 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * If it can be added, I would say add it to the end of the first paragraph in the Abilities section since it already mentions Pain being worried about him interfering with their plans. Joshbl56  21:38, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, good eye. I think I have a good way to word it. Improve it as you see fit. Skitts (talk) 21:47, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

Equipment
Why is there no such section? Kakashi used chains while fighting Pain. --178.223.189.179 (talk) 18:54, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * In the infobox, there is a section called "tools". In that, I see the chain he used. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 18:57, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Attempt #1
The image of the profile is awful.. can't we change it??
 * If you have a better one from Part I (not Shippuden), then you can upload it as a suggestion. Make sure you upload it to a new file and add the necessary info (see my page for guidelines). Also, please sign your posts with four tildes (~) ~Hakinu (talk 15:27, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think Shippuden will also work, there's no difference at all. But I don't really see wrong with his image. —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me) 16:02, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Lol, why can't Shippuden images being used if the character has not changed any noticeably? Thought that's only to portray how they looked at the start of the series ... Kakashi looks the same--Elveonora (talk) 17:22, April 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * @Hakinu The Shippuden image can be used in a case like Kakashi where his appearance does not change one bit. The Shippuden image cannot be used if there is a complete change of the character between Part I and Part II --Speysider (Talk Page) 17:54, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Attempt #2
I've found a better image from the latest episode, but I don't know whether I should crop it to a smaller size since the image I got was captured at 1920x1080 resolution. Should I upload the image as is and ask for your opinion on its suitability ? --Speysider (Talk Page) 10:12, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah Speysider please try to upload it. xD BTW Elveonora, that's my point, though. —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me) 10:23, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Done --Speysider (Talk Page) 10:26, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's a good image, but I don't think the other's reaction about his eye. Many guys overlook the image too hard. xD —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me) 11:31, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * In the first place I dont see any reason to change the existing image. And @Speysider: Your image is good. But the eye seems to be a problem Salil2212™ Uchiha Symbol.svg (talk) 12:13, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * You seem to have no reason to change any of the images when some are poor quality or just plain suck. I don't see how the eye makes any difference, some other images have exactly the same issue and they are fine, so I don't see a problem with this one. The current Kakashi image makes it seem like he is bored and has no enthusiasm whereas the proposed one shows slightly better enthusiasm --Speysider (Talk Page) 12:18, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * I will search for a better image and get back to you Salil2212™ Uchiha Symbol.svg (talk) 12:33, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

I really don't see a thing wrong with the image currently in Kakashi's infobox. It's centric, he's facing forward etc.--Cerez 365 ™(talk) 13:07, April 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * He's facing forward as well in the proposed image ? --Speysider (Talk Page) 13:11, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yup. So why change the image when both are almost same ? Salil2212™ Uchiha Symbol.svg (talk) 13:15, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * It seems you won't relent, let's leave this here. Your being far too petty over simple things imo and you need to just let people try to improve the wiki, rather than destroy it. --Speysider (Talk Page) 13:17, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

Kakashi's hair looks a bit short in that image from 258. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:32, April 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * It does seem a bit short, animation error though or the fact that's the only good scene I can use of Kakashi (might be able to use one nearer the end of the episode if possible) from this episode. --Speysider (Talk Page) 19:34, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

Attempt #3
I have a good quality image replacement. Should i upload it ?--Salil (talk) 08:44, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Give it a shot Salil! —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 08:48, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Done --Salil Uchiha Symbol.svg (talk) 09:22, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * I like it. Any opinions guys? —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 10:15, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * As Cerez said above, there isn't really a need to change the image. If there was a possibility of an image change, it would be better to use a higher quality one, as your one is slightly blurred. --Speysider (Talk Page) 11:00, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * My image is a png which is offcourse better than the jpg used now. I dont find it blurr at all. Also the eye in the existing image looks weird. --Salil Uchiha Symbol.svg (talk) 11:05, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * I know it is. Also, I wasn't saying "use the one I suggested above", I was merely pointing out that a different HD shot from the recent episodes would be better. --Speysider (Talk Page) 11:07, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

It is good as a temporary replacement though. And I never said that u wanted ur image. --Salil (talk) 11:13, May 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh lol, sorry for the misunderstanding about the image thing :P --Speysider (Talk Page) 11:13, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * So we can use that image now? —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 11:22, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wait for people besides the 3 of you to chime in.
 * I will not because I see nothing wrong with the current image and I'm sure this sentiment will lead nowhere in a prolonged discussion.--TheUltimate3 Uzumaki Symbol.svg (talk) 12:09, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know why, but when I make an opinion about a proposed image change, people seem to think the answer is yes, even when I say no. :/ --Speysider (Talk Page) 12:12, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Then if you proposed an image they will say no. Weird. But Salil's image has better quality. I don't know guys WHICH KIND OF IMAGE you like. Most images are rejected, tell me what kind of image? —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 12:20, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * It was not me who started this disscussion . The only thing is that the image is of a low quality and HIS EYE LOOKS SMALL --Salil Uchiha Symbol.svg (talk) 12:24, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

I see no point in changing an already excellent image. The current one is of good quality, drawn properly and colored well by the animators, has Kakashi in his typical lazy-aloof expression and he's facing forward. If you can find an image that does all of that better, by all means show us, but I've yet to see one suggested that did so. And what's with the current "we must change every character's infobox image" wave? Skitts (talk) 13:58, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Must be the new thing that's going on the Narutopedia, I really don't like the proposed image either, the current one is fine the way it is. - White Flash - (Talk) - 19:08, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * You guys really need to let this movement die now. There's nothing wrong with the image so no need to change it...--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 20:47, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

Vandalised
Someone trolled the page again. Added something about him being a porn actor.
 * It's been taken care of.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 10:16, August 2, 2012 (UTC)

Japanese Naming Issue
in the bottom trivia section, it says his name is 畑案山子, so then why is it written in hiragana then katakana at the top? on other pages you don't restrain yourself from using kanji. this wiki is very inconsistent

24.5.242.92 (talk) 03:30, August 10, 2012 (UTC)

yes, i agree, when there's kanji available, i think you should use it. or at least be consistent

Binatang (talk) 03:56, August 10, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, you're not getting it. Kakashi's name is written the way it's in the infobox, the fact it has the same pronunciation as that is meant to be a pun. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 03:58, August 10, 2012 (UTC)

then maybe in the trivia it should be more clear? it wasn't clear to the first poster, i think maybe cuz it doesn't specifically say that it's a play on words in the trivia part?b eh doesn't bother me too much

Binatang (talk) 04:03, August 10, 2012 (UTC)

With the "Kakashi" part, I'm not sure. It seems that when Kakashi is meant to mean scarecrow, as is the case with the character, it is usually written using kana alone. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 04:07, August 10, 2012 (UTC)

oh yes, that is true. while kanji exists for the word kakashi, it's non-standard, and should be written in kana, only old people will still use kanji for this word, because the japanese language was not standardized until after world war II i guess this matter is resolved Binatang (talk) 04:11, August 10, 2012 (UTC)

ANBU Kakashi
Isn't that picture from a movie (non-canon material) ??? "_"--Elveonora (talk) 22:43, August 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, the first movie. Though it's not the only instance where non-canon material is used to illustrate canon information. It's been replaced with something more canon. -- The Goblin  03:00, August 26, 2012 (UTC)

Cool, just found it weird to have a scene from non-canon movie pasted there to showcase a canonical event. Same goes for younger Teuchi from the 4th Shippuden movie image, it's not canonical yet still used 0_o--Elveonora (talk) 14:58, August 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Is it not cannonical in the sense that it breaks the timeline barrier like the image of Tsunade meeting her grandfather or in the sense that it's from the movie? Because I believe once there's nothing wrong with the timeline of the image it can be used until we possibly get one from the manga. The same would go for Kurotsuchi as a child, how are we to know that she wasn't blonde and curly-haired otherwise?--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 15:03, August 26, 2012 (UTC)

The Kurotsuchi is questionable and for a review, that's why I brought it up :) and for Teuchi, not just it's from movie, but the timeline of Ichiraku Ramen opening is incorrect--Elveonora (talk) 15:20, August 26, 2012 (UTC)

Kakashi's age during the Kakashi Gaiden
Is there any evidence which suggests Kakashi was 13 when he got promoted to Jonin? I'm having trouble finding evidence for the notion that he was 13 at the Gaiden.--Jingo12 (talk) 19:43, August 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * That comes from a pattern observed in the teams of Kohona. They all graduate at the same age, and Obito's age of death in the databooks is 13. Kakashi was promoted just before Obito died, so if they're the same age, he was promoted at age 13. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:20, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

You can even calculate it... 30-17=13, in Gaiden Kakashi was just recently promoted--Elveonora (talk) 02:31, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

Though is there anything explicitly saying/suggesting that the Kakashi Gaiden took place 1 year prior the Kyuubi attack?

I get the pattern, though I always figured Kakashi's age was referenced at some point.--Jingo12 (talk) 00:12, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Because Minato was elected right after the war and got killed in a year?--Elveonora (talk) 00:23, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

He was only being given gifts for being Promoted to Jonin, he was 9 when he became a Jonin. Do the math with their graduation ages and use Chapter 599 and you will see, he's just big for his age and was a Genius of course so he advanced easily, but there is one problem, Itachi was 4 during the 3rd war and Kakashi is 9years 8months and 25days older than Itachi. 173.66.119.89 (talk) 02:16, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

No, Kakashi was surely promoted to Jounin at 13. Why would they give him gifts for his promotion 3 years later? ;D Basically you said it yourself, there's a problem... time-line screw up--Elveonora (talk) 10:14, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

You are right, he was promoted at 13. There is a timeline screw up. It can be remedied somewhat if they retcon what tobi said about itachi being 4 years when he got traumatized by the 3rd war. Then if they remove Kakashi and most of the others from most of the chapter 599 flashbacks, then it will be manageable. 173.66.119.89 (talk) 08:21, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

So there's no actual databook, manga or fan book statement to back this claim up? FallenAngelII (talk) 17:46, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

Obito and Kakashi are the same year age and Obito died at 13 and is 7 Months and 5 days older than Kakashi. The 3rd war ended shortly after the Kannabi bridge was destroyed and then Minato was elected Hokage. Not long after that, a year at most.. Naruto was born and the Kyuubi attacked, Kakashi was 14 and 25days when the Kyuubi Attacked. Do the math, Kakashi Surely was 13 when he became Jonin and Obito died, also Kakashi is 9 years 8months and 25days older than Itachi. Do the math peeps. 173.66.119.89 (talk) 16:12, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Sharingan Deterioration
In naruto manga 598 page 12 is possible to see blood dripping from kakashi's eye.
 * Yes.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 13:41, August 22, 2012 (UTC)

Well, he wasn't using it as often as Itachi and Sasuke, so that explains the lateness of bleeding/sight degradation--Elveonora (talk) 13:51, August 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sasuke's eye bled the first time he cast Amaterasu (from Itachi's Tensha Fuuin). Kamui might just take much less strain on the eye than Amaterasu. Remember, Itachi's eye has never bled from casting Tsukuyomi. FallenAngelII (talk) 13:19, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

Kishimoto Mess-Up in Chapter 599
Um.. Kakashi is said to have become Chuunin at the age of 6... in the manga he clearly looks 13 or older. Should this be noted?
 * See Talk:Obito Uchiha (chapter). -- The Goblin  08:16, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Added it to the trivia--Elveonora (talk) 15:04, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Earth jutsu?
I don't see the Earth Wall jutsu he used against Deva Path under the jutsu section, shouldn't it be added since it says he uses Earth Release? 173.63.93.233 (talk) 20:53, September 3, 2012 (UTC)BobBob

"Due to the MediaWiki upgrade many parts of the site will appear broken such as filterable lists. We do ask that you bear with us as the issues are addressed" I say, make it red...--Elveonora (talk) 20:59, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * It is possible that some people's landing platform is Special:WikiActivity and not the homepage, in which case they wouldn't see the notice unless they're using Monobook.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 11:53, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * My suggestion is put it on community messages. 11:58, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

I don't go to the homepage, rather just go on google and type naruto [character name here] and it brings up the wiki page for that character instead. My bad. 173.63.93.233 (talk) 18:31, September 5, 2012 (UTC)BobBob

wait.. his rank should be Anbu
Since he was promoted to Anbu for many years after becoming Jonin at 13, even if he is not in the Anbu anymore he should still be Anbu rank, just like former Kage are still Kage rank. ItachiWasAHero (talk) 07:26, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

umm actually, the anbu are really more so a team than a rank. and as for the kage thing, its because they were still kage at the time of their deaths.98.26.246.106 (talk) 07:38, September 4, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan

That's not the way Anbu rank works, its a separate rank altogether. Since Kakashi joined the ranks of the regular forces, he can longer be Anbu ranked, if he's not an Anbu...--Cerez 365 ™(talk) 11:00, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

Orochimaru was no longer Anbu when he left as shown by his normal Jonin outfit and the fact he was not with Danzo or Hiruzen as an Anbu at that time and yet on his rank he is still currently classified as Anbu. Yamato no longer was Anbu as he became a Jonin again and part of Team 7 and yet he is still labeled as Anbu. Same with Sai, he is no longer Anbu and yet he is still labeled as such. A LOT of people are in fact. 173.66.119.89 (talk) 16:15, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Unless I'm mistaken, ANBU position and a ninja rank are listed separately, unless only one is known--Elveonora (talk) 01:15, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

When did we find out what age he became Jounin
When did we find out that Kakashi became a Jounin at age 13 or close to age 13? A debate has broken out on NarutoForums and I can't find any manga or databook pages to supposed that supposition. Does anyone know? FallenAngelII (talk) 13:13, September 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * . -- The Goblin  13:15, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

Use this Calculator in conjuction with given birthdates for Kakashi and Obito and Rin and Gai and Naruto and Itachi. I used it and found Kakashi is 14 years and 25 days older than Naruto. 173.66.119.89 (talk) 11:10, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Undergarment and head band color?
Now I know this is going to sound stupid, but please bear with me... Is it worth noting that Kakashi's undergarment and headband colors differs from the Shippuden anime and the Part II manga? In the anime he still retains the dark blue undergarments, while in the the Part II manga (color pages) it is black? On Chapter 531 cover, one sees Kakashi's garments and headband is colored black. And like I said at the beginning, I know it sounds stupid to bring such a trivial thing up, but I did see it was worth noticing in Mu's Appearance section that his (Mu's) headband color change was changed in the anime, from the original manga color. Sparxs77 (talk) 15:24, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Face under mask
in chapter 16 i thought when kakashi wakes up and startles naruto and sakura sakura whispers something about trying to look under his mask? i do not own this chapter and have only read it on mangahere, if you want a look its page 19, chapter 16
