1. Kakashi. No contest. Though others would eventually replace him as the cast got rounded out and Team 7 improved their own talents, in the beginning there was the Kakashi, and Kakashi was with the coolness, and Kakashi was the coolness. 2. It's a toss-up between Lee and Shikamaru. Lee seemed a total gimmick, but he kicked so much ass against Gaara that he's racked up enough Awesome Points to last him a lifetime. Shikamaru, on the other hand, just blended into the background until we finally got to see his amazing brain in action... and then he totally won me the rest of the way over by, of all things, quitting. 3. STOP ANGSTING, SASUKE! 4. Hard one, if only because I'm sure pretty much every character has some sort of following. I guess, of my favorites, Lee would probably be the most disliked by the fandom as a whole... 5. My opinion of Sasuke started off neutral leaning negative, since he looked like a brooding angst-monkey. Then it slowly improved over time as he did various cool things... but then he had to confirm my initial opinion of him and run off. I wanted to like you, Sasuke, I really did, but you had to prove yourself a total bastard after all. 6. The girls on the show leave something to be desired in general. I guess Temari, if I were pushed to choose (she's at least got some attitude), but none of them really attract me. 7. Kakashi wins again. Unless it means I have to deal with Gai regularly. 8. Sakura, stop mooning over Sasuke and actually do something. Anyone else in the whole damn series could kick your ass. You'd better learn something useful from Tsunade or you officially get my "least favorite character" label. 9. Naruto/Hinata. I'm a sucker for the silent-love-from-afar. 10. Sakura/anyone-but-Lee. Sasuke's a jerk and Naruto, as mentioned, I'd rather see hook up with Hinata. (Lee, on the other hand, is available and has many Awesome Points to cash in.)
