Just happened to be going through an old edition of Naruto and found their 1 year anniversary volumn where they did a poll from naruto readers to see who their favorite charecters were. Out of 70,000+ votes, here was the standings and total votes.

1. Hatake Kakashi - 22,692
2. Uzumaki Naruto - 16,729
3. Uchiha Sasuke - 13,674
4. Iruka Sensei - 7,128
5. Haruno Sakura - 3,055
6. Rock Lee - 2,327
7. Gaara - 1,353
8. Haku - 1,302
9. Zabuza - 756
10. Hyuga Hinata - 553

11. Anko - 332
12. Neji - 289
13. Kurenai - 217
14. Gai - 216
15. Orochimaru - 199
16. Ibiki - 174
17. Asuma - 165
18. Kishimoto - 157
19. Inari - 156
20. Konohamaru - 143
21. Kiba - 135
22. Kabuto - 110
23. Sound Nins - 107
24. Tenten - 89
25. Nine-Tails - 72
26. Temari - 71
27. Shikamaru - 66
28. Kankuro - 62
29. Ebusa - 55
30. Ino - 53

Some of these kind of surprised me how they ranked over in Japan, but overall I think it's still neat. Definately not how I would have ranked them, but still kool overall.

For one thing like you said that was the first anniversary poll. All ranks are probably different by now. Rock Lee might be the number 1 at this point.

Evilbunny · 2003-11-08, 21:13

SAKURA GOT MORE VOTES THAN LEE AND HINATA?!!!!

jeez, wats this world coming too. When we did a poll here Hinata beat that huge forehead ten times over.

Because Sasuke is cooler then them.

Besides that was 3 years ago, everything is different. No need to get psycho.

Evilbunny · 2003-11-08, 21:29

oh, that would explain it. sorry i flew off the handle like that, but that was really, like, not accurrate.

Lord Raiden · 2003-11-08, 21:33

Well like Dranz and I mentioned, this was a 1st aniversary poll.

If you'd like, I can find the 2nd aniversary poll. and the 3rd as well if it exists. But yeah, Dranz is right. IT's probubly way different by now.

Vicious · 2003-11-08, 21:55

There's already the 3rd anniversary pool, I think. And I agree, Lee may be the number one, followed by either Naruto, Shikamaru, Itachi or Hinata.

Hunter · 2003-11-08, 22:13

eLstar · 2003-11-08, 22:16

You've gotta give props to Iruka to be in the top 5 and for having appeared in only like 10 chapters altogether.

Kakashi is still going strong and Sasuke is doing pretty good. I wonder what it'd be like to meet 2 Sasuke fans at one board. I should learn Japanese....

Dont' be sad Dranz, Sasuke own them all

kakashi222 · 2003-11-08, 22:27

WHY THE!!!! Rock Lee should of been at a higher spot cuaSe he would defenetly get my vote.

Just like what they did in cali, i vote for a recall.

Kireiko · 2003-11-08, 23:11

you gotta hand to Kakashi-sensei!!! ichiban three years in a row?!? ^___^ but Jiraiya-sama didn't even make it to the three year mark? O__o!

Dopeskills · 2003-11-08, 23:17

I'm wondering why Iruka is so popular

Stickels · 2003-11-09, 02:28

of course lee isn't at the top, the guys a cripple, who likes crippled ninjas?

Kiba should be higher... but seeing how I like naruto just alittle better, its all good.

::faze · 2003-11-09, 02:36

I agree with the Kakashi votes, but the Iruka votes brings a wtf? out of me, I really have no clue where those votes are coming from...oh, and about Rock's rank, it looks like the Rock/Gaara fight happened before the 2nd anniversary? I really don't know but, I expect his rank to be the highest at around that point. Otherwise, everything seems about right, althought I expected Itachi to be ranked higher than that.

Lord Raiden · 2003-11-09, 10:40

What I find funny is Naruto and Kikashi are fighting for the rank of number 1 and depending on who's had the better year is probubly who gets the higher votes. I bet after Naruto does some serious a** whipping here soon he'll be back in number one. One interesting thing to note, Sakura was #5 the first year, then dropped way down the list the second year and only made a small comeback the 3rd year because everyone go so uber p*ssed at most of the people immediately under her. Kinda sad. Although I'm happy to see Hinata jump from 10th to 6th and hold it for 2 years.

Ir0nExpress · 2003-11-09, 13:27

Konohamaru - 143
