- In the naruto series, every character has a distinct persona. And it could be more natural for him to sport an appearance that changes as the time comes for him to get older.
- Naruto was previously a thin-haired character which is why he may be experiencing a slight loss of hair.
- He was looking to be different from his father. He wanted to draw attention to the differences and be an individual, not his father’s son.
- Perhaps Hinata enjoyed it this way, I don’t know, but I’m guessing so.
- It may be easier than animators drawing.
- Long hairs won’t fit into the Hokage hat, most likely renders it uninteresting to see, So he cut it to fit inside.
Several motives could be the reason Naruto has cut off his hair short.
Every one of the Historic Heroes had lengthy hair. The modern heroes keep short hair. Naruto cut his hair to appear more like an era-appropriate hero.
In the past, in Greece, long men’s hair was a sign of wealth and power. A shaved head was suitable for slaves. History says Greeks had a variety of gods and heroes with their hair in long swaths, including Zeus, Achilles, Apollo, and Poseidon. Greek soldiers are believed to have worn their hair in long braids during combat. They thought it was a sign of class and were supposed to have had their hair combed openly to display theirs. To stop enemies from getting into it during combat, they were known to cut their fronts short and leave it longer in the back, which meant it was farther than a distance away (mullet). An alternative view of the common idea is that they kept it long and then tied it back with a ponytail to hold it out of the enemy’s access.
The ponytail technique permitted warriors who typically went to battle with only a tiny amount of gear. So they did not have to carry heavy burdens during long marches. Can we relate Naruto’s short hairstyle may be due to easy fights?
The 6th century was the time for a change. However, Greek men began to change their hairstyles but not with the Spartans. Women wore long hairstyles and portrayed freedom, health, and prosperity, and the correct behavior. Men, too, had long hair, which was thought to be a sign of false pride. Keep their hair in a manageable state by using a small piece of string to keep it in place and use a knife to cut it back into a length using just one cut.
Now let’s take a look at Naruto and a possible reason explaining why did Naruto cut his hair.
Naruto is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto. The Manga tells the story of Naruto Uzumaki, an aspiring young ninja. He is seeking recognition from his fellow ninjas and hopes to be the Hokage head for his family. Naruto’s tale is divided into two distinct parts. The first one takes place in the preteen years of Naruto, while the second part takes place during his teenage years. The Manga is based on two Manga written in one-shots by Kishimoto: Karakuri (1995), which won Kishimoto an honorable recognition at Shueisha’s Monthly Hop Step Award the following year Naruto (1997).
Naruto was published in Shueisha’s magazine Weekly Shonen Jump from 1999 until 2014 and then published in a tankobon (book) format of 72 volumes. The Manga was made into a television anime series developed through Pierrot and Aniplex that aired in 220 segments in Japan between 2002 and 2007. The English version of the series was broadcast in the US on Cartoon Network and YTV from 2005 until 2009. Naruto: Shippuden, a sequel to the first series, began its run in Japan in 2007 and concluded in 2017 following 500 episodes. The English dub aired by Disney XD from 2009 to 2011 and aired all 98 episodes later, moving into Adult Swim’s Toonami program block on January 14, 2014, beginning with the first episode. The English dub continues to be broadcast each week for the duration of Adult Swim to this day. Viz Media began streaming the anime series through its streaming site Neon Alley in December 2012 with 99 episodes. The show concluded the series in March 2016 following 338 presentations. Apart from the anime series, Pierrot has developed eleven films and 12 Original videos (OVAs). Other merchandise related to Naruto includes light novels, video games, and trading cards created by various businesses.
So we are talking about the modern era. Even the Manga has no reference to historical times. It makes it pretty logical for the writer to match his character with modern times. Now let us analyze why Japanese males cut their hair short. Let us not forget, Naruto character originated from Japanese Manga.
Why do Japanese males have short hair?
There was a period in the history of Japan when men held their hair up. They are also used to tie into the form of a bun or ponytail. It was the fashion of the day and was preferred over everything else. There are many places, not just that are in Japan, but other countries around the world, in which if a man cuts his hair, it’s considered a sign of weakness and shame.
The best part is that this isn’t an option today. Men can choose to have their hair cut very short and semi-short. There are a variety of hairstyles that are very popular in Japan. Although it’s less famous, there are males in Japan who have their heads well-shaven. That is typical for males with thin hair who prefer to cut off their hair completely. Many people have hair-thin. That is particularly popular among students and young people.
A long hairstyle in Japan is frequent for idols, actors, and models. Long hair is ideal for the Asian idol look, where the hair is swollen to the sides, and the person gets bangs. Naruto is not an idol.
Summary
There can be many reasons explaining why Naruto cut his hair and kept it short. However, it is more important that whether long or short hairstyle, Naruto keeps the anime interesting.
