But as of now, in japan, whose more popular? Is sakura hated in japan? Or is it the exact opposite?

If you're bringing it up because of pairings you have to remember that sometimes people like a character just for the sake of the character and not because of who they think she'll end up with.
What I'm sure of is that the Sakura hate is more of an issue outside of Japan. I'm sure the majority of people in Japan either like or simply feel ok with her character. If she wasn't liked Road to Ninja could've maybe been a failure considering she was the co-protagonist of the movie.
I'm aware of that. But what I say has nothing to do with pairings, I am giving my views on why Sakura is not so popular in the west.

And I really dont care about what the west thinks about sakura, all I care about is the japanese fandom, since thats kishis audiance, the ones that actually matter, (not that we dont matter)
Thanks guys!
Also, a chinese friend of mines told me there was cosplaying going on in their school by a bunch of japanese naruto otakus, and she said that sakura is REALLY popular, even in china, and shes not even a naruto fan!
Say, does anyine know when the next popularity poll will take place?

That didn't make a lick of sense. RTN has been the most successful naruto movie and has gotten more positive reviews than any of the others combined.

I assume most of us are westerners why aren't we sharing the same opinion with the rest? Are we PARIAHS? Jokes aside, I don't see that much of a cultural difference regarding Sakura's character. Out of all she is the most down to earth and interesting of all the characters in Naruto, something that also western culture has. Or maybe...

Well actually, at least in NYCC, it's more of Akatsuki (mainly Itachi, Tobi, Pain, and sometimes Kisame), Naruto, and Sasuke.i don't remember seeing a female character, though Konan I saw but I include her in Akatsuki list.

Actually, she had beaten Sakura twice... one in Part 1 (during Chuunin Exams) and the recent one (confession). Sakura jumped higher whenever Hinata isn't around. But overall, Sakura is the most popular female of the series.
What's Happening with the Naruto series as of now!

An interesting thing I noted about that Chunin exams poll is that Sakura was all the way down in 14th place and still Kishi chose to draw all the characters up to her in the usual color spread that announces the winners. I think it's usually only the first 10 or 12.
I get the feeling that no matter how less popular Sakura was at the time Kishi wanted her to appear in that popularity spread. Maybe it has to do with her being Team 7, but I think Kishi just doesn't want people to think she's not liked.

Japan likes their tsunderes. But people from other countries might just think they're irritating.

I dont think so i think it's more connected to SS, since it has the biggest fanbase on Japan, SS scored the first while NS was second place.( that poll which is old)
About Tsunderes, recently we had a pool of best heroine on mangas/anime, and the character who won was Rei from Evangelion, Sakura from Naruto didnt get a single vote, Rei isnt even a tsundere and she's not even an heroine she was the cause of the destruction of the world btw in contrast to the "heroine" which is a Tsundere.
last year there was a poll about whose heroines the Japanese guys think we foreigners would like.
