@hanabishi_kanda
There are a few shonen manga with female leads:
Soul Eater-- Maka Albarn
Angelic Layer (technically shonen, even though it's written by CLAMP)-- Misaki Suzuhara
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6 Stone Ocean-- Jolyne Kujo
But it's still pretty rare for a female to be the lead of a shonen fighting series.

It's because Shonen manga is aimed at preadolescent boys, who identify more with teenage male protagonists.

The main reason there aren't many is that teenage boys are insecure, as anon1 demonstrates.
Every time they see a girl kicking ass and not needing to be rescued by a man, it reminds that they are not masculine at all. (They're teen aged boys after all) So they end up feeling emasculated.
They don't feel threatened by male protagonists because they can "identify with them", that is to pretend to be just like them. (I would SO totally say "Fuck it, let's fight!" and not run and hide, because I am a MAN! Just like Ichigo! -anon1)
This is why the aforementioned Soul Eater isn't nearly as popular as Naruto or Bleach, despite being enormously superior.

wow, just left a few days ago and i alreayd got all the way up to 10, lol. ok, i will accept angelic layer cause i read it and soul eater and maybe the jojo bazar adventures manga. but then how many other shonen manga has the main lead a girl. i can understand that its aimed at boys and a teenage boy would be good, but then sometimes a little veriety would be even better. but almost all the shonen mangas i have seen, the main lead is always a male, and the lead females never or seem to never get enough show time.
