Well, you see, a series such as Naruto is designed to appeal to a large audience. As such, we have to account for several varieties of taste in content. Thus comes the purpose of side-characters; those with some relevance to the storyline but who ultimately serve the purpose of establishing a fan base. See, every creator knows that not everyone will share his favoritism in characters, so he has several "extras" thrown around to try and snatch that certain rogue viewer's attention. Ultimately for that fan of the side character, it is the potential that said character with get some screen time or even mention that drives him to continue watching our show and hopefully, through enough exposure, to eventually begin to enjoy the show in general. Added to this factor is the idea of Eye-candy or a character meant to attract fan attention through a combination of appearance and appealing to various fan fetishes. Now do you understand where babies come from?

how could any one hate hinata she is nice and she reminds me of myself she liked naruto even though everyone else was obsessed with sasuke ,like me i always new naruto was going to be the best ever or else the show would have been called sasuke, but back on topic im kinda shy around guys except on my flirtatious days but i have found that just talking to my friend and not being loud and obsessing over guys they just come and put there arms around me thus proving the cute quiet innocent and caring theory. guys love chicks like that as long as you dont get to anoying and know when to speak and over all , i think hinata is awsome and not shallow like sakura who would do any and everything with sasuke just because he's hot , but for me overall naruto is the best ever cute a little off sometimes WHICH IS FUNNY and strong and caring ,she knows how to pick a man GO HINATA!!!

This is funny...
In one of the latest chapters... you know what, I'll put this is spoilers just in case I aggrevate anyone... Spoiler for Latest Chapters:
And yes, to whoever said it back there, Kishi loves to toss out Hinata teases. Go find the latest chapter if you haven't, tell me you don't get that vibe! Seriously, whenever he gets a chance to flush her out a little, something stupid happens that totally kills the moment. Hinata, as well as most of the rookie 9, have done next to nothing truly pivotal since the Chuunin Exams and that failed attempt to save Sasuke. Come on Kishi, stop dangling the ball and just put the game in play already...

I prefer Hinata over others for various reasons. I could care less which female likes which male, but listening to Sakura constantly complain about being a hindrance to Naruto/Sasuke and still being a hindrance after 300 episodes is kind of annoying. Ino is background noise in 95% of her screentime. Temari receives almost no screen time. TenTen is just obnoxiously weak and has no character developement. Hinata has consistently pulled her weight in the filler arcs without constantly complaining about being weak. Personality wise she garners so much sympathy because everyone has had that someone or something they were afraid to confront for fear of losing it. Since most people are too afraid to surmount their own fears in real life they root for their timid mirror reflection in an anime. While obviously Hinata's mannerisms are a little exxagerated. people are still able to see themselves in her shoes.
