I hear ya... but i suppose the criteria for the term "rookie" is just different than the definition you are used to. in this case, "rookie" refers to a mangaka's first work. whether naturo was completed in one year or twenty years is irrelevant. kishimoto would have qualified for the award in any case. also, naruto isn't shakespeare or anything but to call it "pretty bad" is rather snobby when you consider its target audience. it was aimed at teenage boys and more than served its purpose at getting them excited and keeping their interest (hence why the manga ran for as long as it did). it was quite original and refreshing with its character designs and fighting art techniques. you cannot deny naruto's influence on the anime/manga world and to say otherwise would be unfair on a myriad of levels. not since dbz has a series taken the world by storm in the same way. naruto was great fluff and will be remembered. |

I think a lot of confusion would come from the term "-of the year". Perhaps since the award was given to Kishimoto THIS YEAR that title makes some sense, but I think a better name for the award would be "Outstanding rookie" or something like that. Some way to inform people that the award isn't necessarily limited to what the awardee did in the year the award was bestowed.
Could just be a lost in translation issue. |

I see people here are confused. I guess you guys would have preferred the term "Best completed 1st work award."

I have written about the term 'shinjin', which could be translated as 'rookie', in the context of the prizes in question.

Well, i think how he ended the series was a rookie-level choice.

When I first saw this I was like yes he deserves an award for all his hard work naruto will always be one of my favorite shows.
I think some of the comments are right when they say he got the rookie of the year award because this is his first manga but I get where you other guys are coming from to I feel like he deserves more but, congratulations anyway here's to all your future success

In terms of quality in bith the script and art department, Kishimoto is most certainly a rookie. Man has a lot to learn,

At least I was happy with spoiler[Shikamaru and Temari] becoming canon.

Kishimoto did a one-shot prior to Naruto called Karakuri, so this can't be for his first work unless one-shots don't count.

Naruto got nominated for 19th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize this year as well. I am glad that Kishimoto already got a award though "rookie" sounds weird for a 15 years of phenomenal work. I mean Masashi Kishimoto is a Shonen Jump veteran.

I thought that prior to One Piece, he had drawn Romance Dawn, Monsters, and Wanted!, though all three of those were one-shots. Nevertheless, Naruto was Masashi Kishimoto's first serious work, though I'm not sure if he wanted Karakuri to be a full series. |

This is definitely a weird situation. If they were going to give Kishimoto this award they should have given it to him during the first year of serialization for the series. But since it's his first completed series, that should be default make One Piece and Hajime no Ippo eligible when they finish as well.

Perhaps the Japanese award ceremonies have their own unique way of handling their awards?
