Why do people (including Kishi himself) think that Kishi doesn't do females well?

I don't get this. The girls are fine (so to speak).

Konan was epic. She almost soloed Obito and finished the series. She was dedicated to Nagato, and she was determined to carry out her goals even at the cost of her own life!

Hinata is the epicenter of kindness! Her kindness towards Naruto (even when everyone shunned him as a kid) and her reasons for liking him are a reflection of qualities that all humans should strive to have. It is the ability to empathize with others and judge people by their character.

Mei provides some comic relief with her crazy word distortions to hear the word marriage. She is also pretty strong with her two Kekkei genkais. She did not get trolled. She was fighting Madara after all.

Sakura, Ino and Karin are good representations of what you should not be. Air head fan girls that essentially tell girls that a guy with "great hair" always takes precedence over kind people even if he tries to kill you! This was a brilliant method that Kishi used to throw some bad examples in there in order to show people the errors of shallow logic and to reverse psychologically tell fans to have some dignity and true self esteem.

Kushina's quickness to die for her child and her affectionate last words to baby Naruto before dying showcase the love that a mother should have for her child.

Ino and her team have been very effective in the war!

Sakura has done a good job conveying that feeling of imperfection and desire to improve oneself that many people can relate to. Hinata does this too.

Kaguya is the pinnacle of greed! She represents the evil of humanity and her insanity showcases the ultimate chaos that humanity's greed brings about.

Tsunade relates to humanity in the sense that she showcases the things that depression and the pain of loss can drive people to (such as drinking and gambling), and her come back to Konoha and eventual becoming of hokage showcases how you can get inspiration from the positive attitudes of others and use it as fuel to do something great.

Rin represents the true quality of friendship. Obito loved her so much that her death drove him to cause the problems of this series!


Shizune is comic relief.

Tenten showcases how patience ultimately breeds success.

Don't you see? Kishi is great with female characters. They all exemplify great morals and development! If anything, Kishi should work on the development of some of the guys. For instance, I would have liked it better if Naruto did not care about Sasuke. That would be great.

Kishi is great w/ females. P.s. Most of them don't need a lot of development because they are not important, so I don't know why people say that they are bad when they have no need for much development (like Hinata).

Maybe because females make better female characters most of the time

Well if he said so it's probably best to take his word for it. But that chick from Mario was cool though so maybe he did improve on writing females.

The only decent females are Anko, Tenten, Temari and Chiyo.

Well, I do like most of Kishi's females characters.
Also, Saori from his one-shot Mario was an epic character.

Because when compared the development and roles the men have played, they are lacking. You said it yourself, they aren't important, and that's bad on Kishi's part.

Everyone's self conscious about something they do/are.
And that's probably what Kishi just doesn't feel he does right (even tho he does a fab job~)

He can't write them for crap but it's his story so he'll write them like he wishes.
