Reason for Kakashi wearing mask!!!

[narutothetoadsage]

Its simple theory: He started wearing mask in his childhood only. This was because he was ashamed of what his father did(when he was disgraced and took his own life) and didn't want to reveal himself.

[OrochimaruFan]

I thought he wore the mask because he was too handsome and didn't want to distract everyone.

[Kages]

Yeah, i knew that

[Joten Uchiha]

But in the Manga he was wearing it while at the Academy? his father was still alive.

You sure that his father was alive? Was it stated in the manga?

Seeing as the ramen guy and his daughter were drooling over him when he took his mask off to eat his ramen

[suigetsu3]

Just for style

So, even this was in the best interest of the villagers.
But, why at the age of 12 or even less than that? Surely, he wasn't too handsome then.

But everyone knew he was Kakashi...

[narutothetoadsage]

But everyone knew he was Kakashi...

Ok. But he was still ashamed to show his face over what his father did.

[ImNotScared]

Come on, lets be honest here...

Kakashi taking off his mask distracts people because he's a handsome fellow. Even the Ramen Guy stopped making ramen when he saw Kakashi..

[TheWillofFire]

He wears mask so no one would kiss him and instead reads about kissing

[narutothetoadsage]

Everyone saying about him being handsome the reason for wearing the mask, should understand that he was wearing the mask since childhood. There must have been some other reason then apart from being handsome.

[saaaaaadpanda]

Ok. But he was still ashamed to show his face over what his father did.

Obito's flashbacks show that he wore the mask back in the academy, which is likely before his father committed suicide. Also, if the sole reason he wore the mask was shame over his father, he would've removed it a long time ago. He got over it.

[Jellal Fernandes]

Even the ramen guy came. Ya know?

[Allseeingeye]

wrong remember he was the one that found his dead father and he had a mask there...

[TheWillofFire]

kishi wanted to give kakashi and obito masks

[SpiderRider89]

Because Kishi wanted to give it to him

The manga page showing his father dead(lying on the floor) reveals a very young kakashi(small in size). So, it can surely be before his academy days. Moreover, kakashi graduated very fast to a jounin.

I know that he found his father dead. But, the manga doesn't show him wearing a mask. Infact, it only showed shadows.

[narmeiter]

Yeah, agree on this. As we say in Hindi " sharm ke maare muh na dikhana"
