HOW OLD IS KAKASHI ?

KAKASHI AGE

Today, Naruto Merchandise® answers a fundamental question that all fans of the Naruto and Boruto series must have asked themselves one day, how old is Kakashi?

Kakashi age is currently 53 years and, as the manga Boruto is still going, his age will continue as the plot proceeds.

But it should be known that the age of this character is really uncertain due to the fact that many script resources had to be used to improve the plot of the anime, that is the reason why some paradoxes may exist.

So stay tuned, in this article we give you all the information that you need to follow the evolution of Kakashi Age, the Copy Ninja of Konohagakure!

 

HOW OLD IS KAKASHI HATAKE? 

The beginning of the Naruto anime series starts with Kakashi being already a grown man, but let’s get back in the past to find out how old is Kakashi Hatake in the different arcs:

HOW OLD IS KAKASHI DURING TEAM MINATO ERA

Kakashi started as a ninja and became Genin around the age of 5 and started his first missions in Team Minato with Rin and Obito as Chunin at 6 years old. He then attended the Jonin’s exam which he passed brilliantly around the same age. So we can assume that Kakashi is 6 years old during the Team Minato Era.

HOW OLD IS KAKASHI WHEN OBITO DIED

There is probably an age difference between Kakashi and Obito for about 4 years. Therefore, at the time of the accident where Obito “died” during the Kannabi bridge mission, Obito was 13 years old, which means that Kakashi is 9 years old when Obito dies. 

 

HOW OLD IS KAKASHI DURING ANBU BLACK OPS ERA

Following Obito’s death, Minato Sensei is named Youndaime Hokage of the Leaf and offers Kakashi a place in the Anbu to help him mourn his best friend. Kakashi joined the Anbu when he is around 13 years old and stayed there for almost ten years.

 

HOW OLD IS KAKASHI DURING KYUUBI’S ATTACK AND MINATO DEATH 

Kakashi was 14 years old when the mysterious masked man unleashed the fury of Nine Tails (Kyuubi) on Konoha. It was also during this night that Minato and Kushina, Naruto’s parents, passed away trying to protect their child from Kurama’s attack. Kakashi is therefore 14 years older than Naruto which, we remind you, is born that night.

 

HOW OLD IS KAKASHI IN NARUTO

Kakashi received his nickname “Kakashi sensei” once he became the leader of Team 7 originally formed by Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno. Naruto was at that time 12 years old, so Kakashi is 26 years old in Naruto.

 

HOW OLD IS KAKASHI IN NARUTO SHIPPUDEN

The Naruto Shippuden series begins with the training of Naruto with his new mentor, Jiraiya. After 3-4 years of training, Naruto comes back aged of 16 years old which makes Kakashi is around 30 years old in Naruto Shippuden.

 

HOW OLD IS KAKASHI WHEN HE BECOMES HOKAGE

At the end of the Great Shinobi War, Kakashi is crowned Sixth Hokage by Tsunade Senju. This period was about 2 to 3 years after the beginning of the Naruto Shippuden series. We can, therefore, assume that Kakashi is 32-33 years old when he becomes Hokage.

HOW OLD IS KAKASHI IN BORUTO

Naruto became the hero of Konoha and fulfilled his dream of becoming the Seventh Hokage of the Leaf. At the beginning of the Boruto series, Naruto is around 32 years old, which tells us that Kakashi is 48 years old in Boruto.

HOW OLD IS KAKASHI NOW

Well, the Boruto series has just started yet and the timelapse isn’t that large we can assume, approximately, that Kakashi is 48 years old now in 2020.
