I was very bored a few weeks back and did some research on the popularity of K11

I Excluded Naruto and Sasuke (obviously) as they're the most popular. I decided to use multiple online sources to determine the order of popularity among the K11

The Research I used:

- The Official Japanese popularity Polls (

- Loads of other online Polls such as; and and and and more.

- Youtube Videos/Views/Likes/

- Facebook fan pages/Likes

- Twitter Follows/favorites

- Tumblr popularity

- Amount of online Fanart (e.g on and Pixiv)

- And Much more

This is how I think they're ranked based on the Sources:

1. Hinata Hyuuga

2. Shikamaru Nara

3. Sakura Haruno

4. Rock Lee

5. Neji Hyuuga

6. Kiba Inuzuka

7. Sai

8. Ino Yamanaka

9. Tenten

10. Shino Aburame

11. Choji Akimichi

Important: Remember this ranking is of overall popularity to the fans, not strength or relevance to the story.

Choji is one of those characters where, no matter how much development/relevance they get, they won't be loved by the fans due to his appearance.

Well, I guess he did wear a bikini bottom on his head for part 1.

He's just that type of character that would never gain a decent sized fanbase. lol

I was thinking, should I swap Tenten and Shino ?. It was quite difficult determining which is more popular amongst the two.

WAIT?!?

TENTEN IS 9TH?!? "THAT" TENTEN!?!? THE OFFICIAL FODDER CHARACTER WHO HAD EVEN LESS FIGHT THAN KIBA, SHINO, LEE AND SAKURA?!?!? HOW COULD SHE BE THAT POPULAR?!?

Also, I still believe that Shikamaru, Choji and Ino are far popular than Hinata and Sakura together, but.... nevermind.

Why is that fodder hinata so popular? Makes no sense!

I don't understand neither, but probably because:
- part I.
- not being Tsundere-loli which is in animes is rare as the white crow (just see how popular are tsundere animes - Hidan No Aria and other Rie Kugimiya tsundere-loli animes).
- she is not "eerily similar to Kushina" like Ino, Karui, Karin, Sakura, Tsunade, Tayuya ect, which is also rare in Naruto.
- she was not fodderised by a loser Omoi or the weakest Akatsuki member ever lived in the history of Akatsuki but by the leader of Akatsuki.
- saved Naruto several times (not healing, saving him, chapter 614, 437, 559 ect).
- her skills are based on real fightning style and more ninja like and not like a drunken man punching mindlessly.
- cute I guess.

I am not a fan of her, but I think these must be the reasons. I prefer Ino from all Konoha 11 girls and my favorite is Konan.
