| Biography |
Hinata is the eldest child of the Hyūga clan’s leader, Hiashi Hyūga, and as the first-born, was the heiress to the clan’s main house. However, she apparently lost this position to her younger sister Hanabi, as Hinata was deemed a failure by their father. When she was young she was kidnapped by a head ninja from Kumogakure, who had actually been sent there to steal the Byakugan. Her father killed the kidnapper to save her, but Kumo demanded compensation in the form of Hiashi’s dead body. This ultimately resulted in the death of Hinata’s uncle, Hizashi Hyūga, who sacrificed himself in his twin brother’s stead. This incident was particularly significant in shaping Hinata’s early relationship with her cousin, Neji Hyūga
