Why don't people like Ino Yamanaka?

[What the Pho]

She's not liked or hated. It seems to me there are only a few of her fans. I personally don't like or hate her. Is she unpopular? Post what you think of Ino.  

[Miwaslover]

Maybe because the way characters gain fans is their past and how cute it is and so forth. There wasn't much of a tramautic past for Ino and Sakura which both don't seem to have a lot of fans. Ino doesn't really bother me that much but people just don't like them as the natural pairings, I think.

[Sorry for any typos]

MIND YOU, these are votes in JAPAN.
The characters are so different in English it's not even funny.
So popularity in America may be far different.

Their pasts are more tramatic than most.
Explain why Temari's so high. She's not on much and has like NO past. gonk
Trama has little to do with it. >_>;

Oh. Ahahah. My opinion.
I say Team 10 wouldn't be complete without Ino.
I love how even though Shikamaru's a chuunin, she still has the desire to be the squad leader.
[Don't know much about the new Ino, btw... >_>]
She's always been one of MY favorites but...
Iono. Lots of people get bored by her.
I just like her general attitude. heart  

[Purple dragon lady]

Ino is... obnoxious(sp?) and a good rival for Sakura. And... I honestly don't think much of her. Except that she's bossy. And... yeah.  

[SQEEEE GURL]

She's alright..I do like her hair style though.
X3  

[churrlo]

I think she is ok... she can be useful at times and nice! However sometimes she is bratty and bothersome.  

[~the Love Goddess]

Well... She lacks a defining personality. She's there, and she talks... but it's not all that interesting. Also, we haven't actually seen that much of her.  

[JhonnyRaincloud]

I like Ino! I just didn't like her in the beginning. She's all...bratty. And...loudmouth. And...hangs over Sasuke too much. But she doesn't anymore. ^^ And she can be a very useful person to have by. Like when She, Naruto, and Shino went on the mission with Anko, that proved it. She learned how to take over bodies without having her whole mind leave her body, and she used a Mind Break Techinque to help Shino! Now isn't that enough?  

[Historical]

not on my list, performing well on one mission doesn't make up for the fact to me, that she is troublesome and is quite annoying too  

[P a r a K i s s]

I kind of like her better than Sakura but since she barely gets any air time and since her character hasn't developed as much as Sakuras' Ino doesn't really cross my mind too often.  

[Reso Miso Soup]

We do like her! we just love making fun of her more! <3  

[Chibish]

I like her. She's not THAT bad. o__O;;

Correction; Two. And, you should at least give her credit for being there. If Ino wasn't there, Sakura would probably be dead in the Chuunin Exams, also, Shino would be dead from that filler episode. She DID hold off those two big brother (Rajiin and Fujiin or something like that...) enough time for Tsunade to come and just flick them off (As in flicking not as in middle finger.) So yeah, she does play a part in the series.

Let's just be happy she's not as annoying, bratty, stupid, aggravating, and chirpy as she was before. stare I mean, literally, she's like "CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP I'M A DISGRACEFUL TO THE YAMANAKA CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP"
