Remix is a vital tool in literature, as well as in the media. It is important to be able to recognize the differences between remixing someone’s work and blatantly copying it. Remixing is a tool utilized in everyday life when it comes to creating and innovating. Original content is "replicated" or imitated to create a new, different product through the idea of remixing. When someone uses remix, they create something new by combining various different information and knowledge to make an improved and altered idea typically better than the idea they originally based their work from. By creating the US version of Naruto Masashi Kishimoto aimed to re-create the very popular Japanese version of the show. Masashi Kishimoto changed many scenes and details to target his new American audience and relate to them more while also following harsh US censorship guidelines. Often times authors remix things to reach a wider audience and convey their message to that audience. In this instance the remix is accurately portraying the original source that was so widely loved and watched. When Kishimoto collaborated and re-created the US version of Naruto he maintained its culture by not changing too much and keeping its main story and dialogue. Kishimoto used remix to target his new American audience by altering the show to relate more to teenage boys and girls in the United States. By building upon other people's ideas, more innovations are being thought of and remix is becoming more and more prevalent in everyday life.
