Tenten (Naruto)

Tenten is a character from the Naruto series.
== Charactah Account ==
A weapon specialist and like her teammates, Tenten is vaguely Chinese-themed. She seems to have an attraction to pretty boys and falls for a few. Even one that later turned out to be a girl! She also forms a comedy team with Rock Lee during a number of filler appearances, always playing the straight man.
Tenten is depicted as naturally inquisitive and observant, with a personal dream to become a legendary kunoichi like Tsunade. This has led to her to become strongly opinionated about women, defending that girls can be just as skilled as boys in taijutsu when Neji thought otherwise. Tenten exhibits a distaste for weakness or being overly dependent on other people. Though she can be quite fierce at times, Tenten is kind and caring toward others, comforting her friends when they are going through a hard time.[9]
Being around her overly enthusiastic teammates, particularly Might Guy and Rock Lee, Tenten is often left exasperated at their antics and wishes they would behave more maturely; her Infinite Tsukuyomidream actually depicts this. She is more easy-going and dislikes having to travel for whole days or continue training when she is already tired, for which reason she enjoys her days-off from missions. However, she cares greatly about her team, helping to go save Lee during the Chuunin Exams when he didn't report back at their base. She also held great respect for her other teammate Neji Hyuuga and often helped him train.

== Trivia ==
* The name "Tenten" literally means "heaven, heaven". It can also mean "little by little", "this and that", "here and there" or "dot" in Japanese. It is also a possibility that her name insinuates "ten out of ten", as a reference to her marksmanship or one of the names for a Japanese ellipsis meaning "mark-mark", referring to her use of targets with bukijutsu.
* Tenten has slowly been improving her ranking in the Naruto character popularity polls. She placed 24th in the first and fifth, 30th in the second, 29th in the third and ninth and most recent poll, 22nd in the third and 15th in the seventh. That is her highest rank in all of the polls. She is not in the top 30 in the eighth poll.
* In an interview, Kishimoto said he preferred Tenten out of the four Konoha 11 girls because he liked her design.
* Like the rest of her team, Tenten's character seems to draw inspiration from Chinese culture as seen from her attire and hairstyle, the Chinese style Chignon.
* According to the databook(s):
** Her hobby is fortune-telling.
** Tenten would like to have a rematch with Temari, and she would also like to fight Tsunade's apprentice, Sakura Haruno.
** Her favourite foods are Sesame dumplings and Chinese food, while her least favourite are pickled plums.
** Tenten's favourite phrase is "A hundred shots, a hundred bull's-eyes" (Hyappatsu Hyakuchuu), an idiom for "always hitting the bulls-eye".
** Tenten has completed 62 official missions in total: 28 D-rank, 23 C-rank, 3 B-rank, 7 A-rank, 1 S-rank.
** Tenten loves to investigate.
* Tenten and Neji have the same theme in the anime, but Tenten's has a slower beat.
* In original colour illustrations of the manga, Tenten's costume is blue. This is changed to pink in the anime and later manga images.
* In the omake for episode 209, her name is written in Chinese.
* On the back of Hyou no Sho, her hair colour is black rather then brown.
