So her name is Konan...
Must be the manliest name ever in Naruto.
Oh well, Konan thread, GO!

In Naruto? With that somewhat sexist Kishimoto? Good luck.

It's not that Kishimoto's sexist, it's that the 12 year old boys he writes for are.

So, is she and Leader a couple or not?

Kishimoto's a misogynistic faggot. This is fact.

It's a trap. All the females in Naruto are ugly, remember? On the other hand, Haku was (and I quote) "Even prettier than Sakura".

Gotta be a guy.

There is no way to say Konan in a feminine way, I wonder if kishi did that on purpose.

That's because you're looking at it from an English perspective. The "Ko" in "Konan" means "little/small/young", etc. and it's almost exclusively used in female names (it's the same "ko" that shows up at the end of a lot of girls' names). In Japanese, "Konan" is very definitely feminine as a name because of that kanji.

iirc, Kishimoto said there was a woman in Akatsuki during an interview (it was shortly before Sasuke showed up again, I believe)...

because it's a SHOUNEN manga. The girls can't be very powerful or the boys reading it will lose interest.

True, it IS a shounen thing to have the female characters take reduced roles, but Kishimoto is particularly bad in regards to this. Look at Bleach, for example, or One Piece--the girls for the most part are always going to be outclassed by the guys' power levels, but Bleach has a much larger and more varied female cast than Naruto, and one that gets a hell of a lot more screentime and development than the girls do in Naruto (and it doesn't hurt that it was recently revealed in one of the Bleach sourcebooks that the second most powerful captain in Soul Society, right after Old Man Yama, is Unohana).

I don't know One Piece as well, but look at Nami and Nico Robin and Princess Vivi--they're all fully developed, realized characters with a significant chunk of plot space and backstory. You just don't get that with Naruto, and it's really a fucking shame.

Vivi is a particularly damning example of how much better One Piece is than Naruto in this regard. She's a TEMPORARY, one-arc-and-gone character, who's better developed than even the female lead of Naruto.
