Among his many talents Arindam Paul is bringing his A-game to Bengaluru Comic Con 2025. As an avid gamer and anime-nerd Arindam is bringing his unique vision of Naruto’s Kakashi Hatake to life at this year’s event. This effort goes beyond just cosplay for the artiste. It’s a creative process and deep understanding of the beloved Naruto character. Shabaz shares the challenges of bringing his original design to life:
What’s the most challenging part of cosplaying Naruto’s Kakashi Hatake?
Since it’s my original design, the thought process and visualisation before starting to work on it is what I consider to be the most challenging part.
What’s your interpretation of this character’s personality?
He is a shinobi (ninja) known as the Copy Ninja. Some ways that I’d define Kakashi are that he is a level-headed teacher and a great leader. He has the 6th Hokage, and he received one of his eyes from his friend Obito.
