~ Tenten to Neji. |
Tenten is a supporting character in the Naruto anime/manga series and the Boruto series. She is a chūnin-level kunoichi of Konohagakure and member of Team Guy.
She is voiced by Yukari Tamura in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Danielle Judovits in the English version of the anime.
Personality[]
Tenten strongly believes that female shinobi can be as tough as male shinobi. During the Chūnin Exams, Neji suggests that kunoichi aren't good at taijutsu, but Tenten rebukes him, insisting that girls are just as good as boys when it comes to taijutsu. Tenten's personal dream is to become as powerful, legendary and well noted female ninja as Tsunade. She can be quite fierce sometimes, especially with Lee, violently shaking him whenever he is left unconscious, Naruto also describes her personality as fierce and scary. She also says different stuff from what she thinks, like when she called Lee dimwitted and reckless but in reality, she knew he would have won against the Sound Nin if there weren't any distractions. Tenten also has shown a strong distaste for weakness or being overly dependent on other people. Despite this, she is not above showing a softer side when it comes to her teammates. She holds great respect for her teammate Neji, and often helped him train like the time before Neji's Chūnin Exams, she got him ready for his match.
Background[]
Tenten is a young-tomboyish girl who was born and raised in the Village Hidden in the Leaves in the Land of Fire. Since her time as a student in the Academy, she had a goal to become a legendary kunoichi like Tsunade, one of the Sannin, which she openly shared to others. She attended the Ninja Academy and she graduated at 12 years-old, and was assigned to Team Guy with her classmates Neji Hyuga and Rock Lee. The ninja master they were assigned to were a jonin, Might Guy. Tenten specialized in summoning weapon jutsus and dreams to become a strong female ninja, just like Sannin of the Leaf Village, Lady Tsunade. Guy would hold Team Guy back for one year before entering them for the Chunin Exams, so they could gain experience first and allow them to mature.
