This morning, the
official Twitter account for the “ Naruto ” franchise
issued a warning about the danger of fake accounts claiming to be the original
author, Masashi Kishimoto . The Twitter account posted a
message that read: “ [Attention!] ” followed by:
“ Manga author Masashi Kishimoto does not send messages through any
social media. Please note that the account claiming to be Masashi
Kishimoto-sensei does not belong to you ,” he cried.
This
warning highlights a growing problem on social media, where impostors often
pose as famous people, such as manga authors, to attract followers or even
trick fans. The
“Naruto” franchise, created by Masashi Kishimoto, is one of the most popular
and long-lasting in the world of manga and anime, making it a frequent target
for this type of fraud.
The fact that
NARUTO's official Twitter account issued this warning underscores the
importance of fans being vigilant and cautious when interacting on social
media, especially when it comes to public figures. Publishers and
content creators often use social media to communicate with their followers,
but it is essential to verify the authenticity of the accounts before trusting
the information they provide.
It is critical that
fans of “Naruto” and other popular franchises be aware of these types of
situations and take steps to protect themselves against online fraud.
