Obito, despite being a villain ( a great villain I might add), is still my favorite character in Naruto. My top 5 for this series would be: Obito, Hinata, Sasuke, Minato, Pervy Sage.

As for the reason I'm a fan of Obito, well, look at his past. And his backstory for how he became the man he did, it was touching and heartbreaking. I found it deep, profound, and also plausible. You could say Obito's story is the very definition of a Tragedy. That all together kept as my favorite character.
