Obito Uchiha

"White Zetsu: Sasuke has won. Itachi Uchiha was defeated in battle. Tobi: WHAT!? I DON'T BELIEVE IT! Kidding. (Suddenly switches to Madara's voice) It's just as I expected."

- Tobi revealing his dark true nature.

Obito Uchiha (In Japanese: うちはオビト,Uchiha Obito), also known by his alias Tobi (トビ, Tobi), is the central antagonist of the Naruto franchise. He is the true leader of the Akatsuki and serves as a dark reflection of the titular hero Naruto Uzumaki. For most of the series he was thought to be Madara Uchiha (うちはマダラ, Uchiha Madara), but despite his true identity being revealed late in the story, he orchestrated most of the conflict behind the scenes.

In Japanese, he was voiced by Wataru Takagi as an adult, Sosuke Komori and Megumi Han as a child, Naoya Uchida as his Madara persona. In English he was voiced by Michael Yurchak as and adult, Vic Mignogna as a child, Neil Kaplan as his Madara persona.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He is one of the most well-written characters in the Naruto series,
 * 2) * As Tobi, he started out as a comic relief that actually turned out to be evil and mysterious.
 * 3) * As Obito, Rin's death (without acknowledging that Rin actually committed suicide by Kakashi's hand) is what broke him mentally, and turned evil.
 * 4) Despite him being a villain, he was not entirely bad, as he was happy, energetic and fun loving kid with a heart of gold.
 * 5) His "sacrifice" when he was a child was heartbreaking, as he accepted his fate, gave Kakashi the Sharingan and couldn't tell Rin that he loved her.
 * 6) When he was first shown in the series as Tobi, everybody wanted to know who was behind the mask, and he became one of the most mysterious characters in the series until he was revealed to be "Madara Uchiha", until his mask broke.
 * 7) His comic relief personality is extremely funny, and is a huge throwback to his childhood self, heck some people wished he stayed like that.
 * 8) While he was responsible for the Nine-Tails attack, it did manage to change Naruto's life, and because of this, Naruto is one of the strongest ninjas in the village.
 * 9) Even when he was evil, he still had a heart of gold deeply within himself, as he was shown to be depressed when Rin died, and killed the rogue Mist ninjas as revenge.
 * 10) While he was also responsible for the Fourth Great Shinobi war, it did manage to change the shinobi world forever, and even turned several evil ninjas good.
 * 11) When he was revealed to be Obito Uchiha, everyone was shocked when they found out.
 * 12) He has tons of great fights in the series, with the most notable being his fight against Kakashi during the war.
 * 13) He managed to become Jinchuriki of the 10 tails.
 * 14) His redemption was very well-done, as he helped save Naruto, attack Madara, and sacrifice himself to save Team 7 from Kaguya

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He was responsible for the Nine-Tails attack on Konoha, and was responsible for Minato and Kushina's death, and everyone's hatred towards Naruto (with a few exceptions, such as Iruka, Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba and Hinata)
