代表作品《火影忍者》于1999年至2014年在《周刊少年Jump》连载，截至2019年5月，已经在46个国家/地区销售了超过2.5亿卷单行本。该系列已经被改编为三部动画与多部电影，电子游戏以及相关媒体。 除了《火影忍者》漫画之外，岸本还亲自指导了两部动画电影《火影忍者剧场版：最终章》与《火影忍者剧场版：慕留人》，并刊载了一些单篇故事。 在2019年，岸本开始连载《SAMURAI 8 机侍 八丸传》。
岸本从小就喜欢看漫画，他以漫画家鸟山明与大友克洋为目标，表现了自己想成为漫画家的梦想。结果，岸本花了数年的时间在《周刊少年Jump》连载了自己的少年漫画，他对此感到非常高兴。
自小便对绘画拥有浓厚的兴趣。照本人的说法，已达到了执著的地步。升入高中后，岸本齐史开始收集集英社出版的《周刊少年Jump》漫画，并由此萌生了做漫画家的想法。早年深受《七龙珠》、《北斗神拳》、《哆啦A梦》影响，崇拜鸟山明、原哲夫、藤子·F·不二雄。毕业于九州产业大学。曾经立志创作武侠漫画，但因《浪客剑心》和《无限之住人》的推出而放弃转向忍者漫画。他所绘制的第一部漫画《日晒》便是以少年忍者为主角的短篇故事。
1996年，以《机器人》获得第132回2月期“Hop☆Step赏”佳作而正式出道。隔年1997年在《赤丸Jump》刊载短篇，1999年至2014年11月在《周刊少年Jump》连载《火影忍者》，并电视动画化（2019年的发行卷数突破2亿5000万本）。该作品在日本以外的地方的知名度也极高，在23国以上贩售漫画，在60国以上播放动画，在90国以上提供授权。
受到许多人的影响，像是鸟山明、大友克洋、沙村广明、西尾铁也、冲浦启之、森本晃司等人。《火影忍者》动画版的角色设计之所以是西尾铁也是岸本的要求，会使用动画版的设计划来作为漫画的作画资料。也深受漫画与动画《七龙珠》、《幽游白书》、《猎人》、《忍空》 、《阿基拉》、《攻壳机动队》、《人狼 JIN-ROH》等作品的影响。电影则是北野武、昆汀·塔伦提诺、麦可·贝等导演的作品。
岸本齐史是《666～撒旦～》与《徽章战役》的作者岸本圣史的双胞胎哥哥。岸本齐史在2003年结婚，但由于忙于工作，直到2015年才与妻子度蜜月。在制作《火影忍者剧场版：最终章》时，岸本在电影中提出的日向雏田为了漩涡鸣人制作围巾的想法来自于他的妻子做过的事，这为电影的相关制作人员带来了欢笑。这对夫妻育有一名儿子。
岸本齐史在1974年11月8日出生于日本冈山县胜田郡奈义町，是岸本圣史的同卵双胞胎哥哥。岸本在童年时代就表现出画出他观看的动画节目中角色的兴趣，例如《怪博士与机器娃娃》的则卷阿拉蕾与《哆啦A梦》的角色。进入小学后，岸本开始与他的弟弟一起观看《金肉人》与《七龙珠》。在随后的几年中，岸本开始崇拜《七龙珠》的作者鸟山明，不仅喜欢他的作品《七龙珠》与《怪博士与机器娃娃》，也喜欢同样由鸟山担任美术设计的角色扮演电子游戏《勇者斗恶龙》系列。虽然他买不起连载《七龙珠》的《周刊少年Jump》，但是由于在学校的一位朋友会购买该杂志，于是他开始接触了该系列。中学时，因为岸本开始在学校打起棒球与篮球，逐渐失去漫画的热情。然而，在看到动画电影《阿基拉》的海报时，岸本对其构图的制作方式着迷，并希望学习该作的作者大友克洋的风格。 他喜欢的其他动画有《人狼 JIN-ROH》、《忍空》以及《攻壳机动队》。
岸本为了能成为一名职业漫画家，就读九州产业大学的艺术学部，并开始花时间画漫画。进入大学后，岸本决定尝试制作武士电影（英语：Samurai cinema）类型的漫画，因为《周刊少年Jump》还没有连载该类型的漫画。然而，在同一年，岸本阅读同为武士电影（英语：Samurai cinema）类型的沙村广明的《无限之住人》与和月伸宏的《神剑闯江湖》（后者在《周刊少年Jump》上连载）。岸本回忆自从看过《阿基拉》以来从未对漫画感到如此震惊，并发现自己仍然无法与他们抗衡。 大学二年级时，岸本刚开始为漫画比赛画漫画。但是，他说明当时的作品为针对成年客群的青年漫画，而不是以儿童与青少年为目标读者的少年漫画。岸本希望自己能在《周刊少年Jump》连载针对青少年族群的漫画，却发现自己的风格不适合少年漫画杂志。 当观看动画电影《跑吧！美乐斯》时，岸本对动画师使用的角色设计感到惊讶，并开始研究动画师的作品。后来他遇到了动画《忍空》的动画师西尾铁也，西尾的作画对岸本产生很大的影响力。之后，他开始模仿了动画中多个角色设计的作画方式，他的作画风格也开始接近少年漫画的风格。
Kishimoto's first successful manga pilot was （カラクリ，lit. "Mechanism"）, which he submitted to Shueisha in 1995. This earned him an honorable mention in Shueisha's monthly "Hop Step Award" in 1996, granted to promising rookie manga artists. At this point he was assigned an editor, Kosuke Yahagi, and worked on a number of rejected drafts including a slice-of-life manga, （道くさ，lit. "Wandering Detour"）, and an action manga, （アジアンパンク，Ajian Panku）. In 1997, he wrote a one-shot version of （NARUTO－ナルト－） which was published in .
In December 1997, while redeveloping for serialization, Kishimoto was offered a one-shot in . The new version of debuted two weeks later in , but was hampered by the sudden deadline and performed poorly in reader surveys, being canceled immediately. Following the failure of , Kishimoto reduced his output and began moving in a seinen direction with drafts for a baseball manga, （野球王，lit. "Baseball King"）, and a mafia manga, （マリオ）, hoping to find better luck with a seinen magazine. Yahagi persuaded him to give the shōnen genre one last shot and Kishimoto began working on storyboards for a fantasy one-shot, （マジックマッシュルーム，Majikku Masshurūmu）, but stopped when Yahagi called and asked him to instead develop storyboards for serialization. The two decided to submit a version of with a reworked story and world and produced storyboards for the first three chapters, winning a spot in the magazine. With a six-month lead time, Kishimoto repeatedly revised and redrew the first several chapters of the series.

While as a child Kishimoto enjoyed reading manga, he was inspired to write one after seeing a promotional image for the film . This made him analyze the artwork of 's original author, Katsuhiro Otomo, as well as Akira Toriyama, another artist he admired. Realizing both had their own style regarding the designs, Kishimoto decided to draw manga while crafting his own images. While attending art school, Kishimoto was also an avid reader of Hiroaki Samura's , and extensively studied Samura's page layouts, action sequences, and anatomical techniques. When Kishimoto was originally creating the series, he looked to other manga for influences while attempting to make his characters as unique as possible. Kishimoto cites Akira Toriyama's series as one of his influences, noting that Goku, the protagonist, was a key factor when creating Naruto Uzumaki due to his energetic and mischievous personality. When redesigning three characters for the series, Kishimoto cites , one of his favorite movies, as an inspiration for their outfits. He has also cited Yoshihiro Togashi as one of his favorite manga authors, while the manga by Sanpei Shirato, a series which Kishimoto likes, inspired Kishimoto in the development of the character Sasuke Uchiha.
Kishimoto has also cited other influences such as Takeshi Kitano and Quentin Tarantino. He also mentioned Michael Bay's technique "of shooting a scene against the background light" but found it difficult to make. Another technique inspired by Jackie Chan's films he used in the manga is the "double-action"; in this action, a punch is shown in three different angles in order to give a big impact on the punch's strength. This was first shown in Naruto Uzumaki's battle against Haku. Sometimes, Kishimoto draws panels intentionally confusing during fight scenes to add a sense of speed. On the other hand, Kishimoto commented that for the fights between Naruto and Sasuke, he added action from the top of the page to the bottom in order for them to be easier to follow.
During the series' publication, Kishimoto got married and had children. The changes to his personal life affected the story as he made the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki meet his parents, something the author wanted the character to feel based on his own experience as a father.
When drawing the characters, Kishimoto consistently follows a five-step process: concept and rough sketch, drafting, inking, shading, and coloring. These steps are followed when he is drawing the manga and making the color illustrations that commonly adorn the cover of , the cover of , or other media. The toolkit he uses occasionally changes. For instance, he used an airbrush for one illustration for a cover but decided not to use it for future drawings largely due to the cleanup required.
Masashi and his twin brother Seishi have been drawing manga together since early childhood, thus their styles are similar. As a result, each has frequently been accused of copying the other, not just artwork, but story elements as well. Seishi notes that the similarities are not intentional but are likely because they were influenced by many of the same things.
Kishimoto has admitted he made no plans in regards to the development of 's story developments. For example, when introducing Sasuke, the character says he wants to kill a person. By this time, Kishimoto only thought that Sasuke's brother, Itachi, had done a wrong deed in the past but was not certain of what was exactly. By volume 16 of the series which featured Itachi's actual introduction, Kishimoto decided Itachi was an agent working for Konohagakure to kill all members from the Uchiha clan except Sasuke. This is later revealed in volume 43 of the manga. Another one was the revelation that the late Minato Namikaze would be Naruto's father. When Kishimoto had the idea that Minato would be Naruto's father, he started adding hints of that to the reader such as giving the Hokage mountain from Konohagakure spiky hair similar to Naruto's.
In the making of the film Kishimoto paid tribute to several movies, the most notable being the 1996 film and the 2002 film . The tribute to was mostly done by using , which is a common way of structuring stories in Japan. He also claimed he was a fan of Avi Arad, most notably his films based on the Spider-Man comic book character.
