Hinata Hyūga became a household name with the rise in popularity of the Naruto manga and anime. Created by Masashi Kishimoto , the manga was first published in the magazine Weekly Shounen Jump . Fans were immediately drawn to the plot, which made Naruto one of the best-selling manga to date. The series will develop and be adapted into anime, films, and even in video games. (some even consider it better than Dragon Ball Z). The main character, naturally known as Naruto , helped launch the series to its popularity. However, it would be the simple and shy Hinata who would capture hearts and play a major role in gaining worldwide recognition.
House Hyuga is a powerful family that expected nothing less than perfection from its members. Very young, Hinata did not live up to her family's standards and was considered worthless. During the series, Hinata will become a character that fans can relate to and want to follow. Despite its popularity, there are a lot of things fans may not know about Hinata Hyūga . 🧐
To find out what these secrets could be, here are the 15 things you don't know about Hinata.
15. HINATA GETS THE HAMURA CHAKRA
When Hinata meets Hamura in the second part of the Animated series , a critical event occurs that will forever alter its power. As Hinata is a member of the main house of the clan Hyūga , she inherits part of Hamura Otsutsuki 's chakra .
The power transfer technique was invented by Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki to allow a spiritual energetic connection to exist between living creatures. Over time, technology has become a tool of war. Ironically, the combination of purity and strength would lead Hamura to transfer its power to Hinata also. This additional power would be the cause of the change in color of his chakra 🌊 which would go from blue to purple (proof of power).
14. HINATA CREATED AN ORIGINAL JUTSU AT 16
One of Hinata Hyūga 's major achievements came at a young age with the creation of her own jutsu: the Twin Palms of the Agile Lions.🦁
She is the second youngest shinobi to achieve this mastery behind Kakashi , and the youngest overall to commonly use it in combat. This powerful technique is a closely guarded secret in the Hyūga clan and is only taught to core members. In the anime, Hinata is the sole creator of this technique with a little twist added to her name, the Twin Palms of the Agile Lions . Mastering this technique at such a young age propelled Hinata to the forefront of powerful characters in the anime series and video games.
Don't let first impressions of this humble girl fool you, because she is capable of hitting very hard with this fierce Double Punch Jutsu 📜 .
13. HINATA AND KUSHINA WERE ALMOST KIDNAPPED
Young lady, Hinata was celebrating her third birthday when a major peace treaty was supposed to take place.
The purpose of the rally was to stop the fighting between the villages of Konoha and Kumo, but it was actually a ruse. The real objective, in what would become the affair Hyūga , was to kidnap Hinata.
If Hinata 's kidnapping ultimately failed, a similar attempt was made on Kushina Uzumaki . Fans of the manga 📚 and anime 📺 have been led to believe that these kidnappings took place because both girls harnessed massive amounts of power. It is also a practical thread to bring them together. The real reason for kidnappings, could it be strictly political in both cases? Only the ninjas of Kumo ☁️ know the truth, and they have no plans to reveal their secrets anytime soon.
12. HIS NAME MEANS “PLACE IN THE SUN”
A name has great importance, especially in anime . In Hinata's case, "place in the sun" means having a position of favor or advantage. It can also be associated with someone who is kind and compassionate towards others.
A character's name can give fans of the manga and anime 📺 insight into their personality and backstory. Hinata may have started out as a shy little girl who seemed a little scared, but her name meant she was destined for big things. In Kanji, Hinata is written as her last name Hyūga (日向). This means that Hinata was meant to be one of the greats, which explains the transformation in her character, as she continues to grow and mature.
11. SHE’S A BRILLIANT NINJA IN THE MAKING
Although she only completed 33 missions over the course of the series, Hinata was first in class from a very young age.
She graduated from the academy at the age of 12 with the highest score. Although this may not set her apart from other powerful characters in the saga Naruto , it's surprising that Hinata was able to keep up with the protagonists as shy and distant as she was. For someone who didn't like to fight 🥊 and who his family considered weak because of his kindness, Hinata managed to overcome incredible obstacles. His favorite phrase “self-confidence” (自信, jishin ) led her on the path to greatness, allowing her to overcome the doubts of her peers.
10. HINATA IS THE LEGENDARY QUEEN OF TREATS
In the anime, Hinata would have eaten 46 bowls of ramen at once. Now, it's true that Naruto always sings the praises of Ichiraku Ramen🍜 , but even he hasn't been able to down 46 bowls in one sitting. Ironically, ramen isn't even Hinata 's favorite food. She would rather eat cinnamon rolls and zenzai (red bean soup). How Hinata Hyūga was able to achieve this masterful feat, the answer has never been given!
Bottom line, don't challenge her to an eating competition 🐙🥘 unless it's shrimp and crab. Hinata can't stand either of them.
9. SHE OFTEN BROKES THE RULES
During exams chunin , one of the rules was that a student must secretly deceive another classmate without them knowing in order to pass the exam. Hinata broke the rule not once, but twice. First, she passed the test without deceiving her classmates, then she proposed to Naruto to deceive her. Neither rule violation disqualified her, but it certainly ruffled a few feathers. Fans assume she gifted Naruto the opportunity to cheat on her because of her attraction to him.
Later in the series, she told Naruto : "In my eyes 👀 ... You You're a proud failure! " Hinata always admired Naruto and saw something in him that no one else could see. In his mind, it was worth breaking the rules.
8. HINATA MAIN HEROINE
Masashi Kishimoto was pushed by his peers to make Hinata a heroine in the middle of the manga 📚.
They felt that Sakura was getting too much attention and that Hinata was the perfect character to play the lead role. Kishimoto took the advice he was given and made changes as the series progressed.
In Naruto Shippūden episode 165, Sakura 🌸 also accuses Hinata of trying to become the main heroine of the series because of her popularity. Hinata is understandably confused by this statement, but Naruto understood the reference very well. This sentence ended up dividing fans as to who deserved to be the heroine 🎉 of the story.
7. TOP 10 MOST LIKED NARUTO CHARACTERS
In a popularity poll, Hinata ranked 6th among dozens of other characters. As her popularity grew, so did the number of kids calling themselves Hinata by fans.
The name itself is mostly used in Japan 🉐 , but it is found all over the world, among both boys and girls. Its popularity reached its peak after the famous kiss scene between Naruto and Hinata . Fans had been waiting for this moment for years and were thrilled when the lips finally began to smack.
Hinata also gained popularity when Masashi Kishimoto 🖊️ portrayed her as a heroine while giving her image a certain maturity. Many fans were able to understand her shyness at first, and became loyal supporters when she parted ways!
6. MASASHI KISHIMOTO ADMITS HINATA IS HIS FAVORITE KUNOICHI
Based on several interviews given by Masashi Kishimoto in 2015, he openly admitted that Hinata Hyūga is one of his favorite characters from the series Naruto . He confirmed that Hinata was his favorite Kunoichi and that he had planned his meeting with Naruto since the middle of the manga.
The fan enthusiasm that Hinata caused seems to confirm for Massashi that his favoritism was well placed. This only encouraged Kishimoto ✒️ to build Hinata and to give her more prominent arcs than the other female characters.
Kishimoto had previously admitted in an interview that he had not made plans regarding the psychological development of the various characters in the story of Naruto , which only reinforces why Hinata developed and matured this way. Thanks to its creator 👼, Hinata never took the risk of being cut from the series by an untimely death.
5. HINATA HAS INCREDIBLE POWER
The fact of belonging to Hyūga had many advantages, and Hinata took advantage of it. His powers came from possessing the Byakugan , a dojutsu which only had two other forms of dojutsu equivalent to its strength.
As Hinata owned the Byakugan 📜 , she could use 360 degree penetrating vision. Her visual abilities also allowed her to see up to 20 kilometers away, unaffected by blinding interference. Hinata could also see 👀 fast moving objects and had the ability to use infrared by detecting body heat.
Users of Byakugan can also emit powerful pulses of chakra to subdue an opponent. Add These Wonder Skills Woman to his other fire and lightning discharge abilities 🌩️, Hinata was one of the dominant forces during the battle.
4. SHE HAD SOME....RAPID ANATOMICAL CHANGES
Anime and manga are generally frowned upon for being filled with pornographic and degrading images.
Although it's not the common occurrence, most anime creators like to push it to the extreme to see what they can get out of it - Masashi Kishimoto🖋️ did this by giving Hinata extremely large breasts. big at the beginning of the 2nd book. As a shy girl, Hinata was given a plain and simple appearance. There was nothing about her body or clothing that set her apart from the other female characters, Kunoichis . 👧 To make her as popular as Sakura , Kishimoto intentionally drew Hinata with a larger chest.
Maybe Masashi did this to increase his popularity, or because he is a fan of big breasts. Regardless, the change in appearance was a bit over the top. As if fans didn't notice, Kishimoto even dressed Hinata in more revealing outfits to show off her recent forms. 🍑
3. ITS NAME ALSO REFERRED TO A PURE WHITE LILY
In the fourth book, Hinata 's name is referenced as a "pure white lily". This reference name is important because a white lily was the flower that was placed on her cousin Neji 's grave after his death.
The family bond between the two was not very strong at the start of the series. Believing that his father was forced to die by the Hyūga main house, Neji often became angry at Hinata and everyone associated with him. By the end of the series, their relationship had completely changed and the two had become closer. Neji will ultimately suffer the same fate as his father, sacrificing his life for his family and friends.
During the battle with Ten-Tails , Neji gets in front of Hinata who blocks Naruto from an attack. Hit by hundreds of wooden projectiles, Neji is mortally wounded and dies on Naruto 's shoulder.
2. HINATA LONG OR SHORT HAIR
When the public discovered Hinata Hyūga for the first time he thought she had short hair due to her shy nature. They also attribute her long hair to her "new look", created in book two. In truth, his hair was short because of his attraction to Naruto . It was said that the cutest boy in the academy, named Sasuke 🌙 , liked girls with long hair. To prevent Naruto to think that she loved Sasuke like all the other girls, Hinata intentionally cut her hair to a short length.
As the series progressed and Hinata trusted his feelings to Naruto , his hair returned to its original length. The different hairstyles represent two significant periods in her life, showing her maturity and growth throughout the series.
1. HINATA STRONGER THAN SAKURA AND THE STRONGER HYUGA
It is no surprise that Kishimoto gave this title to Hinata . Being one of the main female characters comes with particular perks, and being crowned to the throne of Hyūga seemed like a likely solution to his character.
To inspire shy girls 🤗 around the world, the story of Hinata ends like a fairy tale. She goes from being an invisible girl to a girl who gets the dreaming hero, two children, and the title of the strongest Hyūga never reached. While fans are still arguing over whether Sakura 🌸 or Hinata is the strongest, you cannot deny that Hinata received the best plot. Both girls showed great power with their abilities, but Hinata finally won the hearts of Naruto .
