Because he was a part of the anbu and even without that a well known ninja but i don't think that that was all too good for him so he hide his face
But before he was anbu he also hid his face... I think he was just born with the mask on.
Haha yeah maybe ^_^ kishimoto must have liked him better with the mask on because it makes it misterious
So. Just why did kakashi hide his face anyway?
