In the anime, Kakashi takes off his mask a handful of times, which makes everyone curious.

Kakashi's popularity has always been high, and even the author himself was very surprised.
Whether that rarely seen face is handsome or ugly is a mystery in both the Naruto world and the three-dimensional dimension.
So, why did Kakashi, who barely showed his face, gain high popularity?
1. Mystery
If you want to say who is the most mysterious in the 7th class of the protagonist group, it is not Kakashi.
Naruto was cheerful, Sasuke was dull, Sakura was lively, all three of them had shaken their basic settings quite clean early, even if they were still in the toothpaste stage, they were not as capable of guessing as Kakashi.
None of them had Kakashi's feeling of cloud mountain fog, which was also a major drawback of being shaken out too early in the setting.
But Kakashi is an elder, coupled with the type of reticent, the seriousness of the key moments and the usual rambling funny form a strong contrast, which makes people want to explore more and more.
2, from the protagonist group rubbed a lot of scenes
Kiba's 12-year-old 4 lead ninja, the other three are not as popular as Kakashi, and no one has as many scenes as him, which is also one of the advantages of being in the core of the protagonist group.
The living treasure-like Kai, the feminine red, and the fallen Asma did not have such treatment as him.
Of course, there are also many people in the late Kai period, and the other two are more unlucky.
Whether it is personality or background, it needs to be reflected with the help of drama. There is not enough drama, everything is in vain.
Sometimes, having enough scenes may not make the character's image more attractive, but the sense of presence is definitely enough.
In other words, if Kakashi were still so mysterious, but gave him very little drama, then his popularity would be much lower.
In his interaction with the protagonist group, Kakashi shows a little bit of his past.
A large number of scenes give everyone the opportunity to solve this mystery, but the plot is very cunning to hide most of the answers to these mysteries, and even wrap the mystery with more mysteries.
3. Reasonable location and plot arrangement
Kakashi is a typical beauty and tragedy, losing his father in childhood, losing his friend in a teenager, and having a headache for a bunch of bear children who fight and die in middle age.
While maintaining a lot of drama to tell his story, his image has not collapsed, which is also a crucial point.
For example, Sakura's role is not much less, but the image of the middle and late stages is a mess, and too much drama actually breaks the character image.
But Sakura's location is different from Kakashi's:
Naruto's most important protagonist is Naruto, and the plot revolves around Naruto, with the concept that is most closely related to Naruto and appears most frequently is class 7.
Sasuke was Naruto's brother, and although the second male protagonist was not too perfect, at least the image of being equal to Naruto was still standing.
Kakashi was identified from the beginning as the teacher of the conjugated brothers and was recognized as a guide. But as an elder, even if you are curious about his emotional life, you will not be too demanding.
Sakura's situation is more embarrassing, she single-handedly built a love triangle, but her strength and mentality have not been able to synchronize with Narusa. She appears in the protagonist group as an equal rather than an elder, and she also has a lot of rich and criticized emotional dramas with male one and male two, which is very embarrassing.
To be honest, to create Sakura's image well, that pen power is definitely much harder than shaping Kakashi.
During Naruto's formative years, several of the masters who helped him gained good popularity – here, let's ignore Ebisu's grinning guy.
The enlightenment teacher Iruka is gentle and kind, the leader of the team kakashi is lazy and funny, and the master is also completely lost, and while getting a lot of opponents with Naruto, they are also portrayed vividly and vividly.
At the same time, because the audience's perception of the elders tends to be more admired, even if there are emotionally confused (yes, I said that it is self-reliance), it will give a higher degree of tolerance.
But if these elders were the same age as Naruto, or if the same setting was placed on Kiba 12 Xiaoqiang, it is estimated that they would have been scolded to death.
Do you think that if you give Kakasyan the status of a close friend of Naruto's generation, can he still be so popular?
