I’ve watched (OG) Naruto 3 times. I’ve watched Naruto Shippuden 4 times. I’ve been watching it since 2014. I’m still not getting the whole Kakashi x Iruka ship.
Honestly, I don’t see it. I just don’t. They’ve hardly interacted. Kakashi was never even into him. He showed zero attraction towards him.
I mean, let me give you my opinions on Kakashibowl ships.
Kakashi x Itachi? I ship it and I can see it. Because, they were both in the ANBU and were partners. They got along well and Kakashi even stopped some fellow ANBU from bullying Itachi. He also seemed to have taken a liking to Itachi. He was even sad when the Uchiha massacre happened. He asked himself if Itachi was always that dark and if he just hadn’t seen it.
Kakashi x Might Guy? I definitely see it. I don’t ship it. But, this ship is definitely real.
Kakashi x Minato? I LOVE this ship! It’s my 3rd favorite Kakashi ship. I mean, many people might say they were more like Father and Son. But, Kakashi NEVER thought of Minato as his Dad. Minato was his sensei, idol, God, crush. In Naruto Shippuden he kept on thinking about Minato half the show. He said, talked, thought about Minato so many times that he’d come close to rivaling Naruto’s obsession with Sasuke. It had been over 16 years and his infatuation with Minato had not diminished in the slightest. He even mistook Naruto for Minato during the war.
Kakashi x Naruto? I USED to ship them before watching Naruto Shippuden. I mean, I can clearly see the ship. But, I prefer Kakashi x Minato so much more. And I don’t think I can go back to shipping KakaNaru when I know that Kakashi x Minato came first. So, I do see the ship. I just don’t ship it.
Kakashi x Obito? This is my 2nd favorite Kakashi ship. It’s practically canon!!! No need to explain why it’s practically canon. Y’all can just watch their episodes in Naruto Shippuden.
Kakashi x Sasuke? I’ve always had mixed feelings about this one. Personally, I think it feels more like a Father/Son relationship. And in Shippuden it just feels like all Sasuke feels for Kakashi is hatred and nothing else. So I don’t actually see this as a ship.
Kakashi x Yamato? OH MY GOSH! My favorite Kakashi ship! Words can’t describe how much I love it. This ship even had it’s own filler arc. Which reminded me so much of Romeo & Juliet. I mean, it’s thanks to this arc that I can never hate Danzō. Not even after what he did to my favorite Uchiha (Shisui). Danzō rescued Yamato and actually took care of him as if he were his own son. Yup. Danzō was actually nice and caring with Kid Kinoe (Yamato). He also reminded me of Juliet’s Dad when he had found out that Juliet slept with Romeo. When Danzō found out that his baby boy had fallen for Kakashi. Well, he didn’t take it very well. He tried everything to keep his precious "son" away from Kakashi. He even went as far as trying to erase his memory or brainwash him. I don’t know what he was going to do. But, it involved a tied up Yamato to a chair and Danzō using some sort of head device. But, Kakashi barged in with Lord Third in tow and rescued his Juliet just in time.
For Pete’s sake! Even Asuma x Kakashi and Zabusa x Kakashi have more chemistry than Kakashi x Iruka.

Unpopular opinion : kakairu ship is overrated
strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree
I am not actively ship it, but I can see the appeal of this ship. They got shy-shy in their conversation about Naruto, Kakashi’s ‘tough way’ and Iruka’s ‘soft way’ at handling Team 7’s Chuunin Exam, Iruka protected a kid and the Kakashi came and strongly grabbed the Pain’s hand from Iruka, those scenes are indeed very alluring and potentially create many romantic fluff and domestic scenarios. Because of that, I don’t think this ship is a crack ship despite the little amount of canon basis compared to other Kakashi ships like KakaObi, KakaGai, and even KakaYama. Also since KakaObi, KakaGai, and KakaYama are fully developed only on part 2 (KakaGai got some development on part 1 too and KakaObi was hinted) making KakaIru has the advantage of an early start. It’s really not weird or surprising that KakaIru has the most contents among Kakashi ships.
But I am admittedly very, veeerrryyyyy picky when it comes to consuming KakaIru contents like fics or fancomics. Why? Because I just love Kakashi’s canon story and characterization so much while in my opinion some KakaIru contents overrate the impact Iruka has on Kakashi and vice versa to the point that it massively deviated from their canon version.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to be a picky person in the sea of KakaIru contents and find one from the million KakaIru content that was ‘clicked’ for me haha. Very often I stopped reading KakaIru fics halfway because I just feel disagree downright annoyed with Kakashi’s (also Iruka’s) characterization as the story goes. So sometimes I filtered out KakaIru tag when I am in the mood to read fics or fancomics. Sorry.
I mean like, Iruka and Kakashi are acquaintance at best, stranger at worst. And truthfully, there’s nothing wrong with that. Romantic story between two acquaintances and even strangers are valid especially when they have common interest, in KakaIru’s case namely Naruto. But, sometimes its shippers try to push Iruka and Kakashi to be each other’s “one and only” too hard, and that resulted in a complete erasure of other people that was already in Kakashi and Iruka’s lives. For example, I read a fic that portrays Kakashi didn’t have any real friend before he met Iruka. That truly left a bad taste on my mouth because Gai is the realest friend you can ever get and there’s nothing fake in Kakashi’s friendship with Asuma and Kurenai. Or the description that “Iruka is the only one who can touch and melt Kakashi’s cold heart”. Uh, canonly Obito holds that role and then kinda bit Team 7. In canon when Kakashi and Iruka met and talk on the first time, Kakashi is already a quite warm person (see Kakashi’s conversation with Inari). Also those who portray Iruka as the only one who can surprise Kakashi, say hello to Kakashi’s beloved Most Unpredictable Number One Hyperactive Knucklehead Ninja (PLATONICALLY).
Then in Iruka’s case, I know that a filler episode made Kakashi to be the one who convince Iruka to accept Naruto, but on Chapter 1, it’s wholly Iruka’s effort to sacrifice his life for Naruto and acknowledge his existence. To give the credit to Kakashi for the sake of romantic story is quite bit....unsettling for me. Also about Iruka’s grief for his parents. You can hate Hiruzen all you want, but the one who told Iruka that he was not alone after his parents’ death is Hiruzen, not and never Kakashi. Lastly, indeed Iruka was dramatically saved by Kakashi from Pain and maybe also in other fillers episodes, but he was still a trained ninja. Him tearfully praying “Kakashi-san (or usually “Kashi”, when the fic is already at the point of calling nickname), please save me!” every time he encounters danger is a huge disservice for him, don’t you think?
Not to mention KakaIru contents that completely strayed from canon like secret ANBU Iruka or Popular Sex God Kakashi...
So yeah, while I understand the appeal of this ship and think there’s nothing wrong the fact that it was the most popular Kakashi ship, I was a bit saddened by the fact that majority of those huge number of shipper contents have a very little care of canon characterization to the point that it feel for me like I don’t read a story about Kakashi and Iruka, but a story about two strangers that were named Kakashi and Iruka. I know that it can’t be helped for them to go hard on headcanon land since KakaIru has a very little canon basis but still...
(Or someone can pretty please recommend me KakaIru fics and/or doujins that have Kakashi and Iruka in character?)

Hummm a ship....
I want something out of your usual range so KakaIru ?
Don’t Ship It
Why don’t you ship it?
Mostly because of Iruka. After the first few episodes, I found Iruka very bland and boring. He's one of the few major characters I don't ship with anyone.
What would have made you like it?
Iruka doing more throughout the series, and especially particularly having more interactions with Kakashi.
Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?
Kinda echoing the last ship, it would be a very positive and healthy relationship, which is something that would be nice for both of them.
~
Thanks for the ask! <3
Send me a ship

KakaIru has literal saddest crumbs of canon interaction. That's the truth. Aside from filler stuff who notoriously fed shippers of popular shitty pairings like SasuSaku and NaruHina, Kakashi and Iruka has grand total 3 interactions in the whole 700 chapters manga, each interaction last for less than 10 minutes, one of the said interaction is Kakashi telling Iruka to shut tf up.
It will be nice if KakaIru shippers are aware of this and makes KakaIru interactions as them being caretaker of Naruto but nooo they ripped off scenes that was supposed to be for other characters instead. Suddenly Iruka is the one who validated Sakumo and healed Kakashi's heart. Iruka is the one who make Kakashi late. Iruka is the secretly strong Jounin who helped Kakashi while he was in ANBU. Obito Gai Yamato whomst? Iruka is Kakashi's only light, Kakashi's special one. That's pathetic.
(Btw in the true canon alias manga, Team Minato already saw Kakashi's face too, and they were also so casual about it. Kakashi is just stingy about his face to Team 7, because he loves trolling his cute little students)
i mean, i think that all shippers read into/extrapolate from existing content because there sometimes isn't adequate canonical content. i also don't think it's entirely fair to suggest that every kkiru shipper "rips off" scenes intended for other characters, or thinks of iruka as single-handedly responsible for helping kakashi overcome his trauma. sure, people extrapolate, make assumptions, and play with canon interactions to best fit their ship. i think we all do it, no matter what ship we're biased toward.

which kakashi pairings do you enjoy? (aside from obkk obviously) iirc youve said ur anti kk*r but im curious if there are there others you particularly like/dislike?
omg ty for asking!!!
I really like kakagai, you'll see it on this blog occasionally! I think those two are really lovely, married, and perfect for each other truly!! Lots of awesome canon material for those two also xDD
other kakashi pairings I like are weird or rare xD like I'd pair him with Kisame, or Kakuzu, or ZABUZA O_O zabukaka is one I'd really love to explore more once I have more free time (land of waves arc raised me)
some pairings I support but don't go actively looking for are ankokaka, shizukaka, yamakaka (i dont enjoy this one but I totally understand it since they were given an entire filler arc together lmaooo xD)
Pairings I hate for arbitrary reasons include kakairu and kakaita. And though I support kakayams i just. do not care for yams lmao
pairings I hate for solid reasons are any incest/student teacher involving kakashi u_u

Just so y’all know I am not a multi shipper. I am not a fan of Kaka*ru or Kaka*bi, and I’m not a huge fan of Kakay*ma, so please don’t go in my posts and tag them! I’m happy you found joy in these Kakashi ships, but I am not someone who enjoys these relationships at all, so keep it off my posts please and thank you :)

There's an old post of yours where you said you don't like reading romance fics where kakashi is ooc so what is your opinion on obikaka fics because obito is the only character that kakashi deeply connected to in a too personal way (or I say a bit romantic too (biased)😝) while nrt ssk skr are like his children ,guy and Yamato are like his bros, and iruka is basically a stranger man I can't stand it why do people ship them anyway so what are your breakdown on obikaka and other kks ships?
I’m not gonna say that Kakashi is only deeply connected with Obito in a personal way. Gai is the one who stick with Kakashi from the start and in the end whom Kakashi chose to spend his retirement days with plus counting flashback, Gai is also Kakashi’s preferred companion to hang out. Yamato is the one who saw Kakashi through the darkest era of Kakashi’s life, a.k.a ANBU era, and as the result, Kakashi trusts him to help him on shady parts that Gai is unable too, for example to snuck Naruto out of Konoha so he can meet Raikage (and monitor Orochimaru too, perhaps). They both along with Obito belong in different spots in Kakashi’s life and I think they’re all personal for Kakashi.
Indeed in my strictly personal interpretation, in Kakashi’s heart there are high thrones reserve for his “Heroes”, a.k.a the one who has his deep respect and change his philosophy. 2 people who reside in that thrones are Sakumo, his admired father, and Obito, whom he shaped his ninja way. Also with two of them Kakashi bared his soul open and admit that “he’s hurting” toward them. But as you can see, since Sakumo is also on that list, so that doesn’t mean those who resides in Kakashi’s thrones are romantically loved by Kakashi. 
I think in canon Kakashi never ever gave implication that he loved anyone romantically. The reason why I don’t really like reading Kakashi romantic fic is because there are certain scenes that were almost exist in every romantic scenario but personally I just can’t see Kakashi have them. Those traits are :
1. Jealousy/Possessiveness 
Not to be confused with protectiveness. Kakashi is protective, but I don’t see him as possessive. He, kinda, never demands or expresses explicit want for someone to stay on his side and his side alone. He told Rin that Obito is in love with her, then peacefully send Obito off to join Rin in afterlife. He has no problem with Yamato leading his squad and replace him. He expressed understandable dread when Gai opened the 8th gate, but he never demands Gai to reconsider his option for Kakashi’s sake, and expressed no jealousy by the fact that Gai opened the 8th gate for Lee (and yeah to save Kakashi too, but Kakashi is not Gai’s only reason for his sacrifice). Heck so many fanfics portray Kakashi became jealous when his students left him for training with Sannins, but he only felt a little lonely. Instead, Kakashi already discussed with Jiraiya about Naruto’s training with the Sannin, Kakashi literally vouched Sakura to Tsunade, and he doesn’t let Sasuke go to Orochimaru for the sake of Sasuke’s safety. So fics or contents when Kakashi became possessive toward his partner and want to be their “one and only” is so OOC for me.
2. Prioritize his partner among the world
See, Kakashi is not the person who act based on his emotion. First and foremost, he prioritized his responsibility and greater good than his own feeling. Like, to discuss “if that person and that person get drown together, which one Kakashi will save” is pointless because either Kakashi will try his hardest to save them all or he saved the one who has the lowest possibility to survive first. Kakashi also will not tolerate the person who attempted to harm people on his care, despite his adoration toward the said person (example, Obito and Sasuke).  In retrospect, Kakashi can completely abhor a person but if the said person brings benefit for greater good, he can tolerate them and let them well(for example, Orochimaru and Kabuto). So I just can’t see Kakashi being like “the world can burn as long as you are with me” or something like that. Seriously, that man has no dramatic bone in his body. I’ve seen my fair share of fics when Hokage Kakashi  “abuses” his authority power for the sake of his partner, and I just like, yeah, that’s so unlikely of him.
Again, it’s my strictly personal interpretation, so people who want Kakashi to be jealous or bend the world for his partner, feel free to go wild. It’s just doesn’t sit well with my interpretation of Kakashi’s character, and that’s the reason why I mostly ignore the majority of Kakashi romance fics. 
As for my breakdown for each ship, Kakashi is shipped with so many people, hope that I managed to cover them all.
(Warning! I am not bashing any ship except those that I just can’t see the appeal like Kakashi/students, MinaKaka, and a little bit KakaIta. But I had my gripes for each of ships so for those shippers please be careful and open-minded. You have been warned)
ObiKaka
Ah my favorite dumpster fire. The angst, the drama, the unresolved issues, the Nile is a river in Egypt (I mean denial). To be completely honest, this ship is the most exciting Kakashi ship for me. So many landmines to be explored. And Obito reveal is literally the reason I rewatched Naruto. After being utterly bored by War arc, to see that Kakashi, the epitome of calmness Kakashi even in Kage Summit arc just some times after his own death his students tried to kill each other plus he was appointed as Hokage in the upcoming war? In the middle of chaos from every sides but didn’t lose his calmness at all? That, Kakashi, completely blown away by Obito reveal? Kakashi can emote like that? In front of Obito?
That’s the biggest appeal of ObiKaka ship for me.
As from Obito’s side, he’s fluctuated between ignoring Kakashi completely and weirdly invested with him in a too persona level. Later I found out that it’s a common trait for Uchiha. Emotionally, Uchihas are headache but man aren’t they effective to make a situation more interesting than it already is.  
Still, I have my gripes for this ship. Ya know, Kakashi is not completely helpless in front of Obito. When it’s clear that he failed to make Obito reconsider his choice to brainwash everything up, a.k.a endangering his people and the world in the process, he attempted to kill Obito twice. One straight to heart and one straight to jugular. So fics when Kakashi is too “subby” toward Obito is a big no for me. Also just like I said before Kakashi is not someone who prioritize his emotion when doing something, so I don’t see Kakashi will absolve Obito’s numerous war crime post-4th Great Shinobi War just because “I love him”.
KakaIru
Indeed Kakashi and Iruka has so little interaction, but I guess that’s the beauty of headcanons. Kakashi and Iruka are the first 2 established adult characters in Naruto (not counting Hiruzen for obvious reason) so the pairing had the advantage of early start. Most KakaIru fans also saw them as “Naruto’s two dads” and that’s a cute concept. Kakashi’s kinda “tough dad” way of caring his students is compatible with Iruka’s quite soft and overprotective way, produce many sweet domestic situations. I don’t ship it but I can see the appeal. 
My gripes about them are when they portray Kakashi as Popular Sex God and and Iruka as Innocent Cute doll, plus I will straight close the tab if in the fics Naruto ever said something remotely close to this :
“Pervert Kakashi-sensei stay away from my dad Iruka-sensei!”
(not so fun fact, I met that scene like in 3 out of 5 KakaIru fics that I’ve read)
Dear god. Honestly, no matter where you look it from Naruto’s side, Iruka’s side, or Kakashi’s side, that scene is a pure OOC on so many level. I have no idea what version of Kakashi, Iruka, and even Naruto on their mind.
KakaYama 
Cute ship, their banter tastes different than Kakashi/Gai, Kakashi/Obito, and Iruka/Kakashi, with their popular dynamic as teasing upper-classman and exasperated under-classman. This ship is sadly underdeveloped because of Kishimoto’s lack of interest toward Yamato, but personally I can see great potential for this ship. In Shippuden, there’s a hint that Yamato is more stern than Kakashi, with Yamato practically making comment that he knows how Kakashi is but unlike Kakashi Yamato will not coddle Naruto and Sakura. I believe in a certain point of Yamato’s life he saw Kakashi as an epitome of light (or perhaps softer example), which is understandable considering that his world before meeting Kakashi is full of Root darkness and Orochimaru/Danzo’s bullshit. But at the same time it’s also interesting because ANBU Kakashi, Cold-Blooded Kakashi is definitely the darkest among Kakashi version. And unlike Gai whom he apologize for showing his brutal side, in front of Yamato Kakashi seems like has no shame to show his shady side. In Kakashi ANBU arc Kakashi straight told him about Rin’s death on his hand. In Naruto training Kakashi told him about believing that he can surpass the 4th Hokage a.k.a ya know, Naruto’s own father. Even Yamato is in Kakashi’s side when they asked Naruto to refrain the truth about UCM because the only source they have about it is their literal enemy. So I personally thought that if there’s someone that can stomach Kakashi’s shady, darker side, Yamato is that person. As Kakashi fan, I don’t see him as pure noble being and he indeed has them, dark side. At the same time, by interacting with Kakashi, Yamato can bring out his light side too, or at least supposed to if not for Kishimoto just stopped caring about him ever since at the beginning of War arc. 
I don’t have many gripes about them except when they made Yamato “worshipped” Kakashi too much. Don’t forget, despite his indulgence Tenzo can and will sass Kakashi to hell and back. Still, I am not sure how far Yamato’s indulgence toward Kakashi, so I kinda bitter about this pairing when knowing that Yamato got Orochimaru monitoring task from Kakashi. As I said about, Kakashi trusts Yamato to see his shady side so it kinda made sense but I really don’t like that.
KakaGai  
Wholesome ship, mutual caring, childhood sweetheart, parental approval from both Sakumo and Dai, plus they basically spent retirement days together with each other. This is the most canon Kakashi ship for me. Gai is literally Kakashi’s safe haven and Kakashi shows his most relaxed side in front of Gai. The reason why I don't read much fics about them is because I love angst but just can't handle KakaGai angst haha. Gai is the constant good thing in Kakashi’s clusterfuck life so I don’t wanna ruin it with angst.
My gripes are when they reduce Kakashi as invalid traumatized man and Gai as a mere Kakashi’s cheerleader. Sigh, talk about devaluing established characters to a single trope. KakaGai that is developed since they’re 4 till they’re 46 and counting deserve better than that. Besides, we have to remember that the reason why Gai attracted to Kakashi in the first place is because Kakashi is strong, worthy to be his rival. Not that Gai will ditch Kakashi when he turned weak (vice versa for Kakashi) but I think one of the reason why Gai sticks with Kakashi for so long is because Gai saw Kakashi’s inner strength and admires it (vice versa for Kakashi).
Kakashi/students 
Still can tolerate their AUs (I’ve seen some College AU fics and I don’t mind them) but seriously in canon the most intimate Kakashi will ever do toward his students is headpat. Also in the entire Naruto franchise, it’s clear that Kakashi sees his students as his younger peers, and he literally made observation about how they grown up. I will not say Kakashi is their father figure, but there’s a clear platonic gap between Kakashi and his students. Example of those are :
KakaSaku : On Kazekage rescue arc, Kakashi told Sakura that she shouldn’t eat too much soldier pills because it’s bad for her body, can’t comprehend the social fact that maybe Sakura, as a woman, will not appreciate a comment from Kakashi, as a man, about her body. Like, it’s not a form of teasing or anything, he spoke it as his form of genuine concern and just can’t see the problem with it. Isn’t it a clear evidence that Kakashi doesn’t see Sakura as a woman and himself as a man in Sakura’s point of view? This is from Shippuden when Sakura already reached her puberty so I just can’t see Kakashi “suddenly treats Sakura as a woman”. 
KakaSasu : Kakashi is downright sweatdropped when he saw Konohamaru’s Male Sexy Jutsu that has naked Sasuke (and Sai) in it. The majority of fandom said that Sasuke is Kakashi’s favorite student, but this pairing has the least amount of content, which is fair because most time when they had positive interaction Sasuke is just a 12 year old boy. Although I’ve seen some KakaSasu shippers gushed about Kakashi and Sasuke’s “private mentoring”, that’s nasty at that time Sasuke is literal pre-teen. 
KakaNaru : Naruto tried to seduce almost every adults in his life with Sexy Jutsu from Iruka to Kaguya, but somehow he never uses that on Kakashi. In fact on Second Bell I expected him to use Sexy Jutsu but alas he used spoiler novel instead, talk about read porn for the plot XD Also Kakashi’s thought when he piggybacked Naruto, “he gets heavier”, that line is so platonic and reserved for kid relatives not potential love interest.
So yeah, for Kakashi/students ships, I just can’t see the appeal or possibility at all.
MinaKaka 
Get the fuck away from me Minato belongs to Kushina and he will never ever touch Kakashi romantically in his life, which is btw already ended when Kakashi is just a 14 years old traumatized boy.
KakaIta 
I don’t hate it, don’t mind the age gap because the first time we saw their interaction they’re mature opponents from different sides, Itachi is 18 years old and Kakashi is 26 years old. Personally it’s not icky for me, especially when we think of TobiDei when Deidara is 19 and Obito(Tobi) is in his late twenty. But like, dunno guys, why would you want to pair 2 emotionally repressed men with each other? 
Their interactions, whether in Kakashi ANBU arc, Part 1, and Shippuden consist of :
Genjutsu battle (but with no hard feeling).
Kakashi asked vague question and Itachi responded with vague answer. 
Itachi asked vague question and Kakashi responded with vague answer.
Kakashi asked direct question and Itachi deflected it.
Itachi asked direct question and Kakashi deflected it.
See how communication utterly fails both of these dumb men who use silence and secrecy as coping mechanism? Their romantic scenario is just unimaginable for me. Which one of them will confess first? If there’s problem, or argument, which one from them will say their problem first and which one will apologize first? Heck, can they even have unprofessional argument?
They’re too similar. They’re not willing to open up with each other and they’re both the type that is too reluctant to pry others about feeling. This ship is downright closed door from both sides XD I had a feeling that their date will consist of silently stare at each other for like a whole day, may or may not with Tsukuyomi/Genjutsu involved. 
KakaShizu, KakaAnko, KakaMei, KakaGenma, or any other Kakashi ships with minor characters
No matter what Kakashi Hiden said, I think Kakashi is not the type to easily warm up on people. Not that he’s cold toward strangers, but he’s somewhat reluctant to invite people in his circle, especially have special feeling for them. So, I am down with them when they’re slow burn long kind of fic. In fact I like this KakaMei fic, and for me Kakashi is not OOC in that fic. 
KakaOC
I am not fond with self-insert and Mary Sue OC in general so I don’t read much about them. My gripes perhaps when they use concept from already establish characters on their OC, like the one who acknowledge Sakumo as hero and instill teamwork on Kakashi is none other than Obito, the one who support Kakashi on his lowest point is Gai, the one who accompany Kakashi during ANBU days is Tenzo, so remove them to make a space for OC is, again, a big no for me.
Tl;dr : For me, platonic gen Kakashi contents are the best!
