About
Rock Lee's hobby is hard work; he has even been called a genius at hard work. Masashi Kishimoto says, "Lee's theme is hard work. People think that hard work is lame these days but that's not the case. I wanted to express that hard work pays off." Lee has actually trained to the point that he fights while sleeping on occasion, which occurs through muscle memory.No matter who the opponent, Lee always shows respect and never attempts to demean them. One notable characteristic is that he never speaks in contractions. He never uses words like "he's" or "doesn't" and instead uses the long forms such as "he is/has" or "does not." In the Japanese version, Lee only speaks in formal Japanese. He also is one of the few who addresses others with proper titles ("-san", "-kun", etc.), even to his friends.
Lee seems to put a lot of effort into mental training and studying as well. He has a near textbook knowledge of the Hyuga clan (as shown before the fight between Hinata and Neji), and is able to understand the strategies of his comrades through mere observation. However, he has shown a lack of common sense, as he thought he could fool the random draw into choosing him by not wanting to be chosen (it worked, but Lee believed the superstition was responsible). He also tried to take last-minute notes about Gaara's suspicious gourd while failing to realize that he would not be able to review them during the battle, even noting that fact in the notes when reminded by Guy.
Rock Lee's favorite food is medium-spicy curry rice and curry udon, revealing his taste for curry in the Raiga arc. Like his sensei, when asked about his least favorite food, he replies, "There is no such thing!"
