Mari Kimora

== Mariko "Mari" Kimor == Mariko Kimora ( 真理 木村, Kimora Mariko) is one of the main supporting characters of the series. She is a chunin-level kunoichi of Konohagakure, a member of the Kimora clan and is a member of Team Ito.

Personality
Because of the constant love she had gotten from her parents, Mari is kind and caring, which as told by Naruto can get to the point where she is downright annoying. She is also very motherlike as she will baby and spoiled anyone who needs it. This makes her the number one comforter and talker for Konoha 11. She is also very naive and described as stupid. In part I, Ino uses her personaility to control Mari, although they are the best of friends.

Anoher example of her naivety is when Jiraiya makes a move on her and she will willingly go on dates with him, because she thinks they are just meetings to explain ninja strageties, although when conforted by Tsunade or Sakura, he states it is just for fun since he is getting so old. This is also taken advantage of by Naruto, as he has asked her on many dates, although she most always rejects it, always having an excuse. This naivety is futher explained as Mari just being "stupid" as she does not has real smarts.

It is revealed that Mari does not like herself very much and is insecure which is why she stays behind Ino and feels she needs to be noticed. She explains to Naruto that it is because her parents do not pay attention to her.

During Part II, Mari`s personality changes. She is not as naive and will speak out more. She is still nice and motherlike, and will speak her mind more. She also stills remains very flirty, although she has a boyfriend.
