Where are the Databooks?

[Byakkö]

I have been wondering for a while now, when was the last databook published?

There have been a lot of characters introduced since the last, and there hasn't been a databook for a long time now (to my knowledge).

So, if there has been a recent one, I'd like to see it, and if there has not, what happenend?

-In Japan, two databooks have been released.
-The first one was released in 2002, and covered everything from the beginning to the Konoha Invasion
-The second one was released in 2005, and everything from Itachi's return to Kakashi Gaiden
-Everyone is guessing a third databook will be released next year since there's now enough new material, and would fit with the three year intervals

Okay, I see.

I actually own the first two US databooks for the anime.

Thanks. :amuse

-In February, Viz is releasing a translated databook (which looks like it may a combination of the first two)

Viz is releasing the Fanbook, not the Databooks.

Yeah Kishi needs to make a new one Alreadii!

^ Agreed, a nice updated version :zaru

[Kaenboshi]

Viz is releasing the Fanbook, not the Databooks. You're right. I checked again, and they are two different things.

Didin't Viz release the Naruto Profiles, which are similar?

NMR has the second databook if you're interested.

This link is better:

This is where they get their information from. And here is where you can DL both Databook 1 and 2.
