History Characters / NarutoTeamEightMembers

* CoolShades: And by extension SunglassesAtNight. After the time skip, they look more like [[GogglesDoNothing goggles]].
** His glasses evolve, just like his bugs. First, they were LennonSpecs, then they were [[GogglesDoNothing Goggles]], after that TriangleShades, and finally they ended up as a Cyberpunk OneWayVisor.

Team 8, also known as Team Kurenai, was a ninja team led by Kurenai Yuhi. Its members are Kiba Inuzuka, his pet Akamaru, Hinata Hyuga, and Shino Aburame. The team specialises in tracking and locating through the use of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan, the Aburame clan's bugs, and the Inuzuka clan's dogs as well as Kiba's own heightened sense of smell.

* FighterMageThief: Kiba's the Fighter as he primarily fights with taijutsu, using his ninjutsu to further enable this. Hinata is the Mage, her attacks are a lot more decisively fatal when properly employed, but [[GlassCannon she's not as tough as Kiba]]. Shino's the Thief, using bug ninjutsus to attack and misdirect his opponents rather than meet them head-on.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KosukeToriumi (JP), Creator/KyleHebert (EN), Juan D'Ors (Spain), Creator/EnzoFortuny (Latin America), Xavier Percy (French)

Among Kiba's abilities are a heightened sense of smell, which makes him especially effective at tracking. He is also one of the fastest seen ninja. In battle, Kiba can transform Akamaru into a clone of himself, allowing them to use combination attacks such as the tornado-like Fang Over Fang. He can also make himself more bestial in nature, increasing his speed and strength, and can combine with Akamaru to become a two-headed wolf. In Part II, he has developed his sense of smell to the point that it is superior to that of a dog's. When the Fourth Shinobi World War started, he was placed in the Fifth Division along with Shino, his sister Hana, and Ino.

After the events of the war, Kiba's dream of becoming Hokage were never realized, though he does settle down years later with his new love interest, Tamaki, a beautiful girl with a fondness for cats.

* AnimalMotifs: Dogs, given his clan's technique are combining shinobi/kunoichi with their canine partner and his physical characteristics are akin to a canine (vertical slit-like pupils, pronounced canine teeth, and nails that he can change into claws).

* BigFriendlyDog: Akamaru, whose appearance is similar to multiple large livestock guardian dogs (the Great Pyrenees chief among them, along with the Maremma, the Cuvac, and the Kuvasz) and whose explosive timeskip growth matches the transition from puppyhood to adulthood.

* TheBully: Is what he used to be to Naruto, until they became friends.

* CanisMajor: Akamaru, especially after he got bigger, can perform jutsus with Kiba
* CantCatchUp: After losing to Naruto in the Chunin Exams (despite being physically stronger than him), Kiba fell behind Naruto until eventually the gap between the two of them became so large that Kiba lost any hope of ever surpassing Naruto.

* ShipperOnDeck: He seems to approve of Hinata's attraction to Naruto and even considers it to be mutual; when the entire Alliance arrives to back up Naruto, Bee, Kakashi and Guy in Chapter 611, Kiba cheerfully ribs Naruto about [[InsecureLoveInterest "acting tough" in Hinata's presence to look cool in front of her]]. He's probably one of the first people to notice Hinata's feelings for Naruto, giving a few contemplative glances to this effect during the Chunin Exams arc.

* SuperSenses: Like the rest of his clan, Kiba has razor sharp smelling skills.
* ThisIsADrill: Tunneling Fang (Tsuga), [[CombinationAttack Fang over Fang]] (Gatsuga) and Double Wolf Fang (Garouga) are taijutsu techinques which involves rapidly spinning and drilling into the enemy with their claws.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShinjiKawada (JP), Creator/SamRiegel (EN, episodes 23-24), Creator/DerekStephenPrince (EN, episode 34+), Alejandro Martínez (Spain), Oscar Flores (Latin America), Alexandre Crepet (French)

* AdaptiveAbility: A very realistic take at that: in the anime, he created a new breed of kikaichu to fight Guren's Crystal Release, by breeding the offsprings of a female that just barely survived first contact with it, which is very similar to how insects become resistant to pesticides overtime in Real Life.

* BiggusDickus: Naruto starts screaming about a gigantic larvae sitting on his lap in the bathhouse. It's not a larvae.
* ButtMonkey: In the ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' anime, he's an academy teacher. But he's barely respected by his students and he struggles with the lack of recognition from them. He even consulted with his retired sensei Kurenai, who told him that everyone knows he isn't good at teaching, but that he should continue and do it as he see fit.
* CombatPragmatist: Very ruthless and creative with his bugs during combat. During his fight with Zaku in the Chunin Exams he offhandedly mentioned that he stuffed Zaku's arm tubes with bugs before the fight even began.

* CoolShades: And by extension SunglassesAtNight. After the TimeSkip they look more like [[GogglesDoNothing goggles]].
** His glasses evolve, just like his bugs. First they were LennonSpecs, then they were [[GogglesDoNothing Goggles]], after that TriangleShades, and finally they ended up as a Cyberpunk OneWayVisor.

* EatenAlive: Shino's ultimate technique is to insert flesh eating insects inside his opponents body where they devour their flesh and chakra from the inside and grow to enormous size.

** He's also pretty CrazyPrepared. In the anime, he defeats Torune, who is perhaps the strongest Aburame by bringing a new breed of insects that he cultivated with Torune's bugs from a long time ago. These new breed of insects has developed antibodies resistant to Torune's bugs.

* WakeUpCallBoss: In ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'', he is the first jonin-level ninja to be possessed by the dark aura. While the previous victims (Academy students and civilians) were relatively easily subdued, it takes the greater part of an entire episode to bring him down, and Boruto and co. only succeed because the aura is affecting his tactical judgement.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Rumi Ochiai (JP), Creator/SaffronHenderson (EN, episode 3), Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn (EN, all other media, as well as the uncut version of episode 3), Olga Velasco (Spain), Ilia Gil (Latin America, original), Anabel Mendez (Latin America, current), Marcha Van Boven (French)

Kurenai is... well, a kunoichi, who has only recently become a jonin by the start of the series. We don't really learn that much about her in Part I, save that she's a rather cool lady who took Hinata under her wing, skilled in genjutsu and that she's perhaps involved with Asuma. The vast majority of her team's missions seem to not involve her. Her only plot-involved action was to get knocked around by Itachi Uchiha in a short battle, unless you count some of the {{filler}} episodes.

In Part II, she appears after the death of Asuma, where we learn that she's carrying his child. She makes sparse appearances afterwards, though she still thinks highly of her former students, especially Hinata. Kurenai is last seen in the epilogue with her daughter, Mirai, who goes on to become as talented as her father.

* IWantGrandkids: Her father pretty much said this to her when the Nine Tails attacked the village and the other children where sheltered and barred from fighting.

* MasterOfIllusion: She's a genjutsu specialist. Her illusion's are typically themed around [[GreenThumb plant life]].

* OutOfFocus: Well, her team in particular (except for [[AscendedExtra Hinata]]), she has never been seen together with said team since Part II started. She seems to have defected to Team 10 given the number of times she has appeared with Shikamaru.

* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: She got pregnant not long before Asuma bites the dust.

* DeadpanSnarker: Often to Kiba.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: All four appeared in episode 3 of the anime, which takes place before the events of the Chunin Exams.

* TheTeetotaler: Boruto reveals that he doesn't drink, which turns out to be justified when Hanabi causes him to accidentally drink sake. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments The result]], his bugs get drunk too and cause mass devastation.

* LineageComesFromTheFather: Inverted. Kiba takes after his mother Tsume, and also claims that she chased him away.

* LovecraftianSuperpower: With just a tap, he can put bugs inside you to [[NightmareFuel eat you from the inside out]] and they ''grow'' in size depending on how much chakra is given!

The former heiress of the Hyuga clan, later known as the "Byakugan Princess" and eventual wife of Naruto Uzumaki. At first, she played the ShrinkingViolet role of the main cast, being completely weak and non-confrontational. Perhaps her most notable trait is her huge crush on Naruto, who is completely oblivious about it. However, it's this admiration that spurs her on to become stronger.

Hinata was born into the head family of the Hyuga clan, and was expected to one day take it over. Since she started out extremely weak, this did not sit well with many others (namely Neji and her own father, Hiashi, though ''other'' extremely complicated reasons made it even worse for her). With the involvement of Kurenai and the aforementioned admiration of Naruto, she gradually develops as a warrior, becoming more confident.

Hinata, like all members of the Hyuga clan, has the kekkai genkai known as the Byakugan, characterized by the ProphetEyes of its owners. It grants the user nearly-360-degree vision, as well as the ability to sense the flow of chakra in the human body. Hinata uses the Gentle Fist style of martial arts, a special combat style designed to take advantage of the Byakugan's unique abilities.

In Part II, she goes out with Team Kakashi to search for Sasuke or Itachi, but that ends in failure when Itachi dies and Tobi takes Sasuke away. In Pain's invasion, she intervenes to save Naruto from Pain, and finally tells him that she loves him. Pain defeats her and nearly kills her, triggering Naruto going into six-tailed mode, but she survives with Sakura's help. When the Shinobi Alliance marches against Madara, she is placed in the Second Division alongside her cousin Neji, Karui, and Kurotsuchi.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Hinata's popularity and importance in the story increased significantly: she was able to snap Naruto out of his HeroicBSOD after the tragic death of her cousin Neji and inspires him to fight on. Later she and Naruto become the main stars of the {{canon}} movie ''Anime/TheLastNarutoTheMovie'', where their love for each other is fully explored and finally realized, ending with them [[HappilyEverAfter marrying]] and having [[BabiesEverAfter two beautiful children, Boruto and Himawari Uzumaki]]. She appeared again in [[Anime/BorutoNarutoTheMovie her son's movie]].

->Her hobby is pressing flowers.
->Favorite phrase: "self-confidence"

* AdaptationDyeJob:
** In the manga, everyone in the Hyuga clan has large pupil-less white eyes[[note]]"Byakugan" literally means "white eye"[[/note]], which are depicted as pale lavender in the anime.
** Her hair color is inconsistent. The official Viz translation of Chapter 39 describes her as a brunette. Kishimoto's official artwork depicts her with indigo hair. [[AllThereInTheManual The databooks]] describe her as having [[RavenHairIvorySkin raven-black hair]]. The original anime and ''Shippuden'' depict her with dark blue hair. ''The Last'', ''Anime/BorutoNarutoTheMovie'', and the ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' anime depict her with midnight blue hair, but, depending on the lighting, it can also look raven-black.
* AdaptationalBadass: In the anime filler arcs, she was given more screen time during battle and is seen winning battles. The four panels in Chapter 437 that showed her entering a brief fight with Pain while using her [[SignatureMove Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists]] before losing to him was extended considerably in the anime.
* {{Adorkable}}: Most of her interactions with Naruto show her as such, especially in Part I and ''The Last''.
* AdrenalineMakeover: The changes in her design, from childhood to teens to young adulthood, easily fit. [[https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/4/4f/Hinata_p1_render.png/revision/latest?cb=20160124060038 In Part I]], she has short hair and very baggy clothes. [[https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/a/ac/Hinata_timekip.png/revision/latest?cb=20150825083511 In Part II]], she lets her hair grow and while her clothes don't show skin, they cannot hide her [[BuxomIsBetter growing curves]]. [[https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/d/d4/Hinata_-_The_Last.png/revision/latest?cb=20160424214508 Finally]], in ''The Last'', her hair reaches her hips and she ditches the baggy coat/pants combo in favor of a sleeveless sweater, [[WhoWearsShortShorts short shorts]], and even ZettaiRyouiki.
* AlliterativeFamily: She and her family members have names that start with the letter "H". Like her father, '''H'''iashi and her sister, '''H'''anabi. [[spoiler:Later, as '''H'''inata '''U'''zumaki, she shares her initials with her daughter, '''H'''imawari '''U'''zumaki]].
* AlliterativeName: '''H'''inata '''H'''yuga. [[spoiler:Later {{Subverted|Trope}} when she marries Naruto and takes on his last name for herself]].
* AllLovingHeroine: Hinata is not fond of competition and fighting (though she will if pushed), and is shown to be incredibly empathetic thanks to her upbringing. Neji's troubled soul was all but clear to her, and she feels sadness in the fact that she cannot help him. In fact, she was one of the first people to identify with Naruto's painful childhood and desire to be acknowledged. She has admired him for it since childhood, which eventually paved the path to love. This is one of the many reasons that makes her and Naruto BirdsOfAFeather, despite their [[OppositesAttract different personalities]].
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: She felt like this because she was stripped of her rightful birthright as heiress to the Hyuga clan. ''The Last'' reveals that she was picked on in the Academy for having the Byakugan. She was also picked on because the children thought that she thought of herself as superior to them because of her upbringing, when in reality, [[AbusiveParents her family constantly made her feel inadequate]].
* AlmightyMom: She's definitely this in the ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' anime. Her angry outbursts can surprise both her husband and their son, when they are loudly fooling around too much or fighting with each other.
* AndIMustScream: When she's caught in [[spoiler:the Infinite Tsukuyomi]], Hinata is unable to move thanks to [[spoiler: the genjutsu]] and can only mentally call out for Naruto as she's enveloped in [[spoiler: the roots of the World Tree]]. It's not clear if this is unique to her or if she was just highlighted as an example.
* AnimalBattleAura: Hinata's signature technique, the Twin Lion Fists, create phantom guardian lions around Hinata's hands enhancing the effects of her Gentle Fist techniques with greater range and EnergyAbsorption capabilities.
* AnimalMotifs: Hinata has been associated with lions (or lionesses) after her fight with Pain. Lions are seen as symbols of bravery and protection. Throughout the series, Hinata stood up for her beliefs, fearlessly faced her foes, and has displayed her willingness to protect her loved ones.
* AscendedExtra: In the anime, where she frequently stars in filler arcs. Later WordOfGod stated that she ascended to "heroine" status by the end of the manga. Taken to its logical conclusion in ''The Last'' where she is the main female lead.
* AuraVision: The Byakugan's main ability is to see chakra, inside and out of the body.
* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:She and Naruto have a son named Boruto and a daughter named Himawari]].
%%Do not add TheBabyOfTheBunch. It does not apply.
* BadassAdorable: She's the resident NiceGirl and ShrinkingViolet, who's also a certified LadyOfWar.
* BadassFamily: Hinata belongs to the Hyuga clan, which produces such badasses such as [[ThePatriarch Hiashi]], [[TheAce Neji]], and eventually [[LadyOfWar her]]. [[spoiler:She later marries [[TheHero Naruto]] who later becomes the [[BadassInCharge Seventh Hokage]] of Konoha, and the two of them start a family together, their first child being [[ChildProdigy Boruto]] and their second child being [[SilkHidingSteel Himawari]]]].
* BattleCouple: [[spoiler:With Naruto]] in ''The Last''.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: ''The Last'' reveals that this is the reason she was so inspired by Naruto. When she was little, three bullies picked on her because of her Byakugan. Naruto, without even knowing her, jumped in and stood up for her.
* BettyAndVeronica:
** Both Hinata and Sakura were [[ShipTease teased]] with Naruto throughout the series. Hinata is the "Betty", and Sakura is the "Veronica" and both girls toy with the standard, classic traits for the roles. While Hinata is of a much higher social status (akin to a noblewoman), is considered more conventionally attractive than Sakura, and her shy behavior throws Naruto for a loop, her kind and gentle nature and constant devotion to the clueless Naruto makes her fit the "Betty" role. At the end of the manga, [[spoiler:"Betty" wins, and Hinata marries Naruto]].
** The "Archie" for [[spoiler:Naruto's]] "Betty" (AHeroToHisHometown, AllLovingHero, NiceGuy, and childhood friend) and Toneri's "Veronica" (the BigBad, SmugSuper, {{Yandere}}, and a mysterious figure) in ''The Last''. Hinata has only ever loved [[spoiler:Naruto, but she pretends to choose Toneri so that she could save Hanabi]]. In the end, [[spoiler:she and Naruto become a couple and get married, while Toneri is left alone on the moon]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Hinata is one of the nicest and humblest ninjas anyone can meet. But, if you push her... Let's just say what she did to the BigBad in ''The Last'' has an entry in the [[NightmareFuel/TheLastNarutoTheMovie Nightmare Fuel page of that movie]] and leave it at that.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: The most silent of ninjas, mostly out of shyness, but isn't a pushover.
* BeYourself: This is one of her reasons for loving Naruto: he was always himself even in the face of overwhelming odds and situations, and he strove to become an even better version of himself.
* TheBigDamnKiss: She and [[spoiler:Naruto]] kiss in the final scene of ''The Last''; it doubles as their OfficialKiss.
* BigEater:
** In the omake of ''Shippuden'' Episode 95. She wins a ramen eating contest, eating ''46'' pork roast ramen bowls. ''In half an hour''. To better drive the point home, here's the other contestants: Shino (fainted ten minutes in at 18 bowls), Kiba (fainted twenty minutes in at 20 bowls), Sai (fainted at the twenty-ninth minute, number of eaten bowls unknown), ''Naruto'' (third, he ate 30 bowls), and Yamato (second, he ate 31 bowls).
** Similarly, in ''Shippuden'' ending 34, which focuses on Teuchi and Ichiraku Ramen, there is a sequence of short scenes of various groups eating there. One of those scenes is Naruto and Hinata [[ShipTease eating together]]. Naruto eventually gets sick from eating too much in the middle of his seventh bowl, while Hinata has ''twelve'' empty bowls next to her.
** In Episode 18 of the ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' anime, it's revealed that she holds the title of "the Legendary Queen of Gluttony" at Ichiraku Ramen, holding a record of 46 bowls in a single hour. For reference, she beats out ''both Choji and his father Choza''.
* BigSisterInstinct: There is one person who's higher up on Hinata's priority list than even Naruto: her younger sister Hanabi. This is undisputed in ''The Last'', when she chooses to [[spoiler:"reject" Naruto's first LoveConfession and "agree" to marry [[BigBad Toneri]] so that she could have a better chance at saving Hanabi by herself, and then later on when she retrieves Hanabi's eyes from Toneri... ''by personally ripping them out of his eye sockets'']].
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Naruto. Despite having different personalities and fighting styles, they're very similar to each other, as pointed out by [[ShipperOnDeck Lee, Sakura, Kiba and Shino]]. Both are considered failures by everyone around them, both suffer because of the respective statuses they have carried since birth, and both want to be acknowledged and accepted. Both are really nice, dorky, determined, loyal, and insecure. According to [[AllThereInTheManual the databooks]] and ''[[LightNovel/KonohaHidenThePerfectDayForAWedding Konoha Hiden]]'', both like to eat red bean soup and preserve their plants. Their respective signature colors--Orange and Purple--share the common color {{Red|StringOfFate}} on the [[http://web.archive.org/web/20170929145745/https://designcode.io/cloud/chapter1/Colors-Wheel.png color wheel]]. Finally, both are incredibly empathetic, despite living in a world where that trait is easily looked down upon. This is one of the reasons why they develop a strong friendship [[spoiler:that grows into love]].
%%Do not add BoobsOfSteel. It does not apply.
* BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: {{Zig Zagged}} in ''The Last''. She breaks [[spoiler:Naruto's heart]], not to save him but [[spoiler:[[BigSisterInstinct to save Hanabi]]]]. Nevertheless, she later apologizes to him for doing so. [[spoiler:Naruto]], of course, forgives her.
* BreakoutCharacter: According to [[WordOfGod Kishimoto]], Hinata's the most popular female character of the series, exceeding even the main heroine Sakura, despite all his unsuccessful efforts to make the latter popular. In [[http://web.archive.org/web/20141021073730/https://narutochapter.wordpress.com/2010/02/06/interview-masashi-kishimoto-jump-festa-2010/ this 2010 Jump Festa interview]], Kishimoto admitted that Hinata is more of a heroine than Sakura, and in [[http://web.archive.org/web/20170924111946/http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:164031 this 2014 Fuji TV Kobayashi interview]], he revealed that because Hinata's popularity kept growing on its own while Sakura was consistently unpopular, he started thinking about making Hinata the main heroine partway through the story, but ultimately he settled on gradually making her the heroine by the end of the manga. This also resulted in ''The Last'', where Hinata is the main female lead and is also revealed to be [[spoiler:Naruto's]] FirstLove and OneTrueLove.
* BreakTheCutie: Neji tries to do this to her during their fight in the Chunin Exams arc, but it doesn't work.
* BridalCarry: She gets carried this way by [[spoiler:Naruto]] a couple of times in the climax of ''The Last''.
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Naruto. Naruto is the near epitome of {{Determinator}}, MagneticHero, and TheHeart--he's the one who usually brings someone else out of their brooding self-loathing attitude. However, during the moments that have even ''him'' reach the DespairEventHorizon, it has always been ''[[LivingEmotionalCrutch Hinata]]'' (the girl who was initially very self-deprecating of herself) who gives him the strength to gain back his confidence. Such moments include Hinata encouraging Naruto right before his fight against Neji in Chapter 98, and then Hinata [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan slapping sense into Naruto]] when he almost gives in to Obito's BreakingLecture following Neji's HeroicSacrifice in Chapter 615.
* CainAndAbel: Even though they're not actual siblings, she and Neji still fulfilled these roles at the beginning of the series, with Hinata being the Abel to Neji's Cain, before Neji did a HeelFaceTurn and became a [[BigBrotherInstinct big brother figure]] to her.
* CallBack:
** Hinata once told Naruto when he was down on himself that [[EyesNeverLie she could see in his eyes that he is strong]]. Three years later [[ShipTease Naruto tells her the same thing after he saves her from the White Zetsu]].
** "You said you wanted to become the best Ninja in your village and have everyone acknowledge you. Now, if someone who acknowledged you from the bottom of your heart appeared, wouldn't that someone become the most important person to you?" These were words Haku said to the then-rookie Naruto, and "[[OneTrueLove that someone]]" is the one he has been searching for for years -- only to realize in ''The Last'' that [[spoiler:it was [[ItWasWithYouAllAlong Hinata all along]], as she has acknowledged, admired and loved him [[WartsAndAll for the way he is]] since the very beginning. From then on, it becomes clear to him who the person he's meant to protect and be with is]].
* CannotSpitItOut: Regarding her feelings for Naruto, until she went to protect him from Pain. She also wants to cheer for him in his fight with Kiba in the Chunin Exam preliminaries, but can't because Kiba's her teammate, and doing so would upset him.
* CharacterDevelopment: Becomes more self-confident, even assertive, after the TimeSkip.
* CharacterExaggeration: Anime {{filler}}s and the SD spinoff tend to exaggerate Hinata's character into an obsessive stalker. In comparison to [[{{Canon}} the manga]] itself, she's a {{Downplayed|Trope}} version of the actual trope. Her shyness towards Naruto is also exaggerated to the point where she can barely talk to Naruto without stuttering or fainting. In the manga, although Hinata is still shy, she ''can'' have full conversations with Naruto without too much trouble. [[CharacterDevelopment She drops both of these behaviors entirely]] in Part II.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: She has admired and loved Naruto since she was a little girl, and as shown in a flashback in Chapter 538, she was the very first person to acknowledge Naruto [[WartsAndAll for the way he is]], even if Naruto himself didn't know that [[spoiler:until [[LoveRevelationEpiphany he finally realizes he's in love with her]] in ''The Last''. At the end of the movie, they get HappilyMarried and have two children]].
* TheChosenOne: In ''The Last'', it turns out she is [[spoiler: the ''Byakugan Princess'']] and can wield [[spoiler: Hamura Otsutsuki's chakra]] which is the only thing that can destroy [[spoiler:Toneri and his Tenseigan]]. {{Subverted|Trope}} in that she lacks the brute strength required to destroy [[spoiler:the Tenseigan and fight Toneri on her own]] and can only fulfill her destiny by [[spoiler:[[SuperEmpowering empowering]] and protecting Naruto]].
* TheClan: Hinata is born into the Hyuga clan. [[spoiler:She later marries into the Uzumaki clan]].
* ClarkKentOutfit: Female version. Her outfits in Part I and Part II conceal her figure, to the point that it isn't uncommon to think she's a bit or plain overweight. The {{Filler}} movie ''Road To Ninja'' takes the chance to show her silhouette, and she's actually [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Road-to-Ninja-Hinata-1_3186.jpg quite]] [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Road-to-Ninja-Hinata-2_9375.jpg svelte]]. ''The Last'' hits a midpoint between the two, with her outfit being more flattering and form-fitting but not quite as revealing as the ''Road To Ninja'' version. After Naruto [[spoiler:[[LoveRevelationEpiphany realizes he's in love with her]]]] in the movie, he [[LampshadeHanging teases her]] about this.
* ColorMotifs: Hinata is mostly represented by the color purple, to be more precise lavender or a very light purple, along with cream and sometimes white.
* CombinationAttack:
** She and Neji are able to combine their Vacuum Wall Palm skill to double its power.
** She also pulls one off with Ino by guiding her Mind Transfer with her Byakugan in the [[WarArc Fourth Shinobi World War Arc]].
** She combines her Eight Trigrams Twin Lions Crumbling Attack with [[spoiler:Naruto's Rasengan]] in ''The Last''.
* TheConfidant: Seeing a [[BirdsOfAFeather kindred]] [[{{Determinator}} spirit]] in Hinata, Naruto [[BeneathTheMask lets the mask slip]] and he tells her [[HiddenDepths how he really feels]]: he only puts up a strong front so people wouldn't know about his embarrassment and frustration at his own ineptitude. Considering that almost everyone in the village ''still'' avoids him like the plague, with even his teammates, while starting to grow somewhat fond of him, still [[NoRespectGuy finding him too annoying]] to be around a lot, let alone care about his problems, this was the ''only'' time he ever revealed his deep thoughts to anyone. But not only does she hear him out, she reassures him that he's truly strong because he never gave up trying to overcome his own failures. This is the foundation of their strong friendship [[spoiler:and eventual romance]].
* CoolBigSis: Her younger sister Hanabi considers her as such. See the OneeSama entry below.
* TheCutie: In Part I, as she's a cute, sweet 12-year-old girl whose crush on Naruto makes her adorable, while her insecurities make her relatable.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Not too long after her third birthday, she was subjected to extensive training as the Hyuga clan's heiress, which left her little time for a normal childhood. Circumstances out of her control led to a strained relationship with her cousin Neji for nine years, even though he was supposed to protect her with his life. Her unwillingness to harm her younger sister Hanabi in a duel to determine the clan's heiress led her to be disinherited. [[ParentalAbandonment Her family eventually disowned her and kicked her out]], which led to her living with her sensei [[ParentalSubstitute Kurenai]] for a while. She was picked on in the Academy for having the Byakugan. It's ultimately thanks to Naruto being in her life, and giving her the inspiration to persevere, that things got better.
%%Do not add DarkIsNotEvil. It does not apply.
* ADayInTheLimelight:
** Got two during Part II--once during the Invasion of Pain arc when she attempts to rescue Naruto from Pain and again during the [[WarArc Fourth Shinobi World War Arc]]. In both cases, they were temporary moments; in the former, her DisneyDeath served as the catalyst for Naruto's DespairEventHorizon, while in the latter she gives Naruto a RousingSpeech that pulls him out of despair. However, she quickly gets shunted back into the sidelines, along with everyone else in the Konoha 11, to bring the focus back onto the newly reformed Team 7.
** Has one in the GrandFinale, ''The Last'', where she is the main female lead [[spoiler:and the main love interest]], since the movie is the canonical bridge to the manga's epilogue, and is the tale of how [[spoiler:she and Naruto fell in love]].
* DCupDistress: In ''Prologue to Road to Ninja'', she is in the onsen... and is greatly embarrassed when her breasts keep floating up in the water.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Part of her LoveConfession to Naruto has her stating that she'll protect him.
* DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel: The real reason why she [[spoiler:"agrees" to marry Toneri]] is so that she can [[spoiler:find intel on the Tenseigan and save Hanabi]].
* DemotedToExtra: Gets only a passing mention in ''Manga/{{Naruto Gaiden}}''.
* DesignatedVictim: Gets kidnapped a few times in {{Filler}}s and once manages to defeat her abductors after they had taken Naruto, Kiba and Shino captive when they tried to save her.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Gets promoted to this role in ''The Last''.
* DevotedToYou: Ever since they were children, Naruto has been the most precious person to Hinata and the one who has always inspired her to keep going and become stronger, not caring at all that everyone else in the village hated him. When she confessed her love for him, she outright told Naruto she is NotAfraidToDie for him.
* DidntSeeThatComing: [[spoiler:Naruto confessing that he's in love with her]] was something she never expected.
* DotingParent: To her son and daughter.
* DudeMagnet: Neji thought she was beautiful when they first met...when [[PuppyLove he was 4 and she was 3]], and he is implied to have [[IncestSubtext a crush]] on her in the GagSeries spinoff ''Manga/RockLeesSpringtimeOfYouth''. In ''The Last'', both [[BigBad Toneri]] and [[spoiler:her future husband Naruto]] also consider her to be very beautiful.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:[[LoveRevelationEpiphany Naruto finally realizes he's in love with her]] and confesses to her]] in ''The Last'', but the road was long and hard.
* EducationMama: According to the ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' anime, she is this towards her son.
* ElementalPunch: Of the PureEnergy variety, her Twin Lion Fists technique.
* EnergyAbsorption: The Twin Lion Fists are energy eating phantom lions.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: Byakugan users have pupil-less white eyes.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She grew out her hair after the TimeSkip, which symbolized her maturity and newfound confidence and assertiveness.
* EyesAlwaysAverted: She had this issue in Part I, but she outgrew it by the Invasion of Pain arc.
* FamilyThemeNaming: In addition to her clan's sun theme naming. Hi'''na'''ta also shares a syllable with her sister, Ha'''na'''bi, [[spoiler:as well as her husband, '''Na'''ruto]].
* FanOfUnderdog: Out of all the kids, she is the only one who always admired Naruto since childhood.
-->'''Hinata:''' "In my eyes you're a proud failure! When I look at you, I get an intense feeling in my heart. Because you are not perfect... Because you fail... you have the strength to get back up... Because I believe that's what true strength is..."
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Hinata is a very talented cook.
* FirstGirlAfterAll: She was introduced in the Chunin Exams arc (except in the anime, where she had a cameo in episode 1), thus seemingly making Sakura the First Girl. However, ''The Last'' reveals that Hinata met Naruto on [[SnowMeansLove a snowy day]] when [[ChildhoodFriendRomance they were children]], not too long before they enrolled in the Academy, ''before'' he met Sakura.
* FirstGirlWins: She is the one who marries [[spoiler:Naruto]].
* FirstLove: [[spoiler:Naruto. While he did have a one-sided crush on Sakura up until [[ShipSinking Chapter 469]], Naruto's first experience of [[OneTrueLove true love]] was with Hinata. [[WordOfGod Kishimoto himself explicitly stated]] that Sakura was Naruto's first crush, while Hinata is his first love. Hence, the {{Tagline}} for ''The Last'' is "The last story is the FirstLove." As explained in ''The Last'', Naruto's initial crush on Sakura, which was ''never'' actual romantic love, [[LovingAShadow was largely fueled by his rivalry with Sasuke, whom Sakura always loved and whom Naruto wanted to beat out at something for once]]--which was implied back in Chapter 3]].
* FlowerInHerHair: In ''The Last'' and ''[[LightNovel/KonohaHidenThePerfectDayForAWedding Konoha Hiden]]'', for [[spoiler:her and Naruto's]] wedding, Hinata wears a white flower in her hair during the ceremony, and then two red flowers in her hair during the reception.
* FlowerMotifs: [[AllThereInTheManual In the fourth databook]], Hinata's name is referred as a pure white lily. The same flowers were put on [[spoiler:Neji's grave during his funeral]].
* FormFittingWardrobe: After the TimeSkip, her chest growth can't be missed, despite wearing a loose jacket.
* FourthDateMarriage: With the revelation of the [[AllThereInTheManual full timeline]], [[spoiler:she and Naruto]] seem to be confirmed for being this trope, especially since the end of ''The Last'' cuts straight to their {{wedding|Day}} in the credits. However, it's actually {{Subverted|Trope}} and {{Downplayed|Trope}}. [[ChildhoodFriendRomance They have known each other since they were children]], were classmates at the Academy for many years, and established a strong friendship in the Chunin Exams arc that continued to develop after the TimeSkip. Then ''[[LightNovel/KakashiHidenLightningInTheIcySky Kakashi Hiden]]'' (implicitly) and ''[[LightNovel/ShikamaruHidenACloudDriftingInSilentDarkness Shikamaru Hiden]]'' (explicitly) revealed that they hung out a lot together after the Fourth Shinobi World War. Even after they shared their BigDamnKiss at the end of ''The Last'', they still built up their romantic relationship through dating (as revealed in a two-page manga short written by [[WordOfGod Kishimoto himself]]). In addition, based on how there are CherryBlossoms throughout their wedding during the credits and in ''[[LightNovel/KonohaHidenThePerfectDayForAWedding Konoha Hiden]]'', it's clear that while they became romantically involved during the [[SnowMeansLove wintertime]], they got HappilyMarried in the springtime. Finally, according to ''[[LightNovel/SakuraHidenThoughtsOfLoveRidingUponASpringBreeze Sakura Hiden]]'', they dated for several months before they got married.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Gives one to Naruto, when he had a HeroicBSOD after Neji's death, and Obito's BreakingSpeech seemed to take an effect on him.
* GirlyBruiser: She's very feminine and quiet, but from Part II onward she's a great and strong willed fighter.
* GoodIsNotDumb: In her fight with Neji during the Chunin Exams, he says [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech "You really are a naive and spoiled child of the Main House"]] for attempting to fight him, the prodigy of the Hyuga clan. However, she turns the tables on him by saying that [[KirkSummation he is the one]] [[{{Hypocrite}} fighting fate]]. [[BerserkButton Naturally]], this nearly gets her killed.
* GoodParents: Hinata becomes a kind and loving mother to her and [[spoiler:Naruto's children, Boruto and Himawari]].
* GoThroughMe: Jumped to Naruto's defense when he was pinned down by Pain despite knowing that it would almost certainly get her killed. She nearly got StuffedInTheFridge as a result.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: She's TheOjou and predominantly wears purple/lavender clothing.
* GrewASpine: Ever since her fight against Neji in Part I, she becomes very willing to face powerful foes, and from Part II onward, she becomes willing to fight and even die for the ones she loves, especially Naruto.
* GrowOldWithMe: [[spoiler:Naruto's]] proposal to her at the end of ''The Last'', after [[LoveRevelationEpiphany he finally realizes he's in love with her]].
-->[[spoiler:'''Naruto''']]: "I want to be with you. Now and forever, until I die... [[OneTrueLove I want to be with you, Hinata!]]"
* GuileHeroine: While not to the extent of Shikamaru or Shino, she uses her wits from time to time. In ''The Last'', she forms a plan to [[spoiler:save Hanabi and destroy the Tenseigan]] that succeeds [[XanatosSpeedChess through adaptation and improvisation]].
* HandBlast: The Empty Palm technique which is a palm thrust which launches a long ranged wave of invisible chakra.
* HappilyMarried: Her marriage to [[spoiler:Naruto]] is a happy and fruitful one. An official illustration depicting her present family, has her blush and smile at her husband's side.
* TheHeart: [[NiceGirl Hinata Hyuga]] can be considered this for the Hyuga clan and Team 8, even after she TookALevelInBadass in Part II. This is one of the reasons why she is [[BreakoutCharacter very popular with the fanbase]].
* HeiressToTheDojo: Formerly this. She was initially slated to be the heiress of the Hyuga clan, until she refused to harm her younger sister Hanabi in a duel, which led to her defeat and resulted in her being passed over in favor of Hanabi.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Due to her insecurities and inferiority complex, she can get really down on herself, as shown in Chapter 559 and ''The Last''. Kiba, Shino, Neji (post-CharacterDevelopment), and especially Naruto are always quick to reassure her.
* HiddenBuxom: She was busty even as a 12-year-old, as shown by the clothes she wore for the third part of the Chunin Exams and her midnight dance on a pond in the anime {{Filler}}. However, she wears a baggy coat to hide it, befitting her shy personality. It's most noticeable when Sakura takes off said coat to heal her during the end of Naruto's fight with Pain. She's been the most...gifted of her peers for a long time. Taken to GagBoobs levels in the ''Prologue to Road to Ninja'', where she tries to hide them in the bath house because they keep floating and the other girls envy her.
* HiddenDepths: ''The Last'' shows she is capable of playing [[XanatosSpeedChess speed chess]].
* HimeCut: Her longer hair in Part II, befitting her status as the heiress of the illustrious Hyuga clan and her newfound confidence and assertiveness.
* HoldingHands: She stated numerous times that it's her goal to catch up to Naruto and be able to hold his hand. She finally achieved it after she snapped him out of his HeroicBSOD following Neji's death.
* HollywoodPersonalityDisorders: Avoidant Personality Disorder. She's very shy and rather socially awkward.
* HoneyTrap: Hinata infiltrates [[spoiler:Toneri's castle]] to rescue [[spoiler:Hanabi]] by "agreeing" to marry him and playing along as his new bride.
* {{Honorifics}}: Uses them for virtually everyone due to her [[TheOjou upbringing]].
* HopeBringer: She is this to Naruto during some of the darkest moments of his life in the main series.
* HopelessSuitor: In the first act of ''The Last'', she thinks that she will forever be this to Naruto. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Only to be proven dead wrong]] in the second act, much to her disbelief, and later, joy]].
* HotConsort: Becomes this to her husband, [[spoiler:Naruto, when he becomes the Seventh Hokage]].
* HotterAndSexier: Along with HotBlooded and {{Stripperiffic}} in the [[ItsAWonderfulPlot alternate universe]] of the {{Filler}} movie ''Road To Ninja''.
* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: Her reaction to [[spoiler:Naruto's]] first LoveConfession in ''The Last'', especially since earlier she thought she had lost her chance to be with him.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: Hinata has always wanted to be loved and acknowledged by her family, [[AbusiveParents who were abusive to her]] to the point where they stripped her of her rightful birthright as heiress to the Hyuga clan because they perceived [[LightIsGood her kind]], [[NiceGirl gentle nature]] for weakness and even [[ParentalAbandonment disowned her for a time]], during which she had to live with her sensei [[ParentalSubstitute Kurenai]].
* ImageSong: "Fuyu no Owari ni" ("At the End of Winter"), performed in character by Creator/NanaMizuki to promote ''The Last''.
* ImpostorForgotOneDetail: When she's impersonated in fillers, the forgotten detail is usually how she acts around Naruto.
* InadequateInheritor: Her poor combat ability caused her father to strip her of her birthright as the heiress to the clan's leadership and give it to her younger sister instead.
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: Hinata nearly avoids this. She acquires exponential damage to her body's chakra system and heart from facing Neji in the preliminaries. She still feels the affects of such a strain on her body that she breaks out in a violent coughing fit during the fight between Neji and Naruto a month later and subsequently passes out.
* InsecureLoveInterest: She is this to Naruto, even calling her doomed rescue from Pain an act of her selfishness.
* InstantExpert: In ''The Last'', after inheriting [[spoiler:her ancestor Hamura Otsutsuki's]] chakra, she uses the Chakra Transfer Technique to share her chakra with Naruto and completely replenish his reserves ''immediately'' with no trouble. This is especially impressive considering it took Sakura, an experienced medical ninja, three days to heal Naruto before collapsing from exhaustion afterwards.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: In ''The Last'', when Hinata mistakes Naruto's green scarf as a gift from another woman[[note]]it was actually knitted by his late mother Kushina, but she doesn't know that yet[[/note]], she tearfully wishes him well with the supposed owner of that scarf and decides to stop pursuing him. This is ultimately why, when [[spoiler:[[LoveRevelationEpiphany Naruto realizes he's in love with her]] and starts being [[EveryoneCanSeeIt incredibly unsubtle with his feelings]], she became, {{iron|y}}ically, ObliviousToLove]].
* JapanesePoliteness: In a world of characters who typically do not bother with proper honorifics, Hinata is one of the few who addresses everyone properly and politely.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: In ''The Last'', she destroys [[spoiler:Toneri's Tenseigan]] all while wearing a fine black dress.
* KimonoIsTraditional: She and [[spoiler:Naruto]] have a traditional Japanese wedding complete with multiple wedding kimonos.
* LadyAndKnight: Hinata is the Lady (of the Hyuga clan, with a gentle nature, especially towards Naruto) to Naruto's Knight (a ninja with unyielding passion to those he loves, [[OneTrueLove Hinata]] in particular) of a good variant.
* LadyOfWar: Hinata becomes this in Part II. Her fighting style is perfect for this, since it's based less on brute strength and more on swiftness, chakra blocking, speed, and exploiting the enemy's weakness. Combine this with [[RapunzelHair her long flowing hair]] and you get a pretty graceful female fighter. She finally achieves this status in the [[WarArc Fourth Shinobi World War Arc]], where she watches Neji's back, saves Naruto a few times against the [[EldritchAbomination Ten-Tails]], and masters the Sixty-Four Palms and combines it with her Twin Lion Fists. This continues on into ''The Last'', where she [[BigSisterInstinct personally retrieves Hanabi's]] [[spoiler:lost eyes by ''ripping them out of the eyesockets'' of the villain who stole them]] and later becomes [[spoiler:Naruto's]] BattleCouple partner as they seal away the BigBad together.
* LaughOfLove: There are at least two instances where Hinata giggled after her crush [[spoiler:and, eventually, her lover]] [[IdiotHero Naruto]] said something foolish. The first time was at the end of the first part of the Chunin Exams. The second time was in ''The Last'', while the two of them were investigating an abandoned shinobi village.
* LetsGetDangerous: In some fillers but {{Subverted|Trope}} when she faces Pain to protect Naruto (although not in [[AdaptationExpansion the anime version]]).
* LightIsGood: With her bright purple/lavender and cream/white color clothing and her kind and gentle nature, she definitely counts as this, though this made her a outcast in her [[LightIsNotGood hardcore]] home.
* LikeParentLikeSpouse: She manages to bear similarities to ''both'' of [[spoiler:Naruto's parents, Minato and Kushina]]:
** She matches [[spoiler:Minato]] in personality: Both are [[NiceGuy quiet nice ninja]] who were the very first people to acknowledge their boisterous counterpart, and who have [[SingleTargetSexuality always loved and admired]] their boisterous counterpart [[ChildhoodFriendRomance since they were children]].
** She and [[spoiler:Kushina]] both went through a lot of the same life events and share certain hobbies, which is how the GenerationXerox sets in: Both have unique hair colors that match their respective personalities. Both were kidnapped by Kumo ninja when they were younger because of the powers they possessed. Both fell in love with their husbands because [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan their husbands are good men]]. Both fell in love with their husbands because [[LoveRedeems their husbands changed them for the better]]. Both attracted the attentions of [[AmazonChaser their husbands]] because of [[ActionGirl their strength]]. Both are {{not afraid to die}} to protect Naruto because of their love for him. Both were bullied as children because of a physical feature of theirs--Hinata's Byakugan eyes; [[spoiler:Kushina's round face and red hair]]. [[TextileWorkIsFeminine Both enjoy knitting scarves]]. Both fell in love with their husbands in the same way: RescueRomance. The RedStringOfFate was utilized in both rescue scenarios. Both are considered very beautiful by their husbands partly because of [[RapunzelHair their long flowing hair]]. Both are considered {{Supreme Chef}}s by their husbands. Both passed down their round face and eye shape to their sons. Finally, both are considered really scary by their sons when they get mad.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: She saved Naruto from his own doubts and even moments when he was on the brink of despair. Considering what he has to go through on a daily basis, it's not surprising that she's his rock.
** Naruto's emotional dependency on Hinata first became apparent during the Invasion of Pain arc. Along with still reeling from his master Jiraiya's death, Naruto has just seen his village completely demolished, confirmed that his sensei Kakashi is dead, and just saw his frog-sensei get killed in front of him, and yet he still maintains control of his emotions. But as soon as he is ForcedToWatch Pain almost fatally stab Hinata with one of his chakra rods, right after [[AnguishedDeclarationOfLove she sincerely confessed her love to him]]--which was the first time he ''ever'' heard ''anybody'' say that to him genuinely--Naruto crosses the DespairEventHorizon, [[DarkestHour completely loses his will to live]], and [[FromBadToWorse nearly releases the Nine-Tails]].
--->'''Naruto:''' When Pain struck Hinata I was so mad, so full of rage, my heart ''instantly'' connected with the Kyuubi's will.
** If one were to keep a close eye on their interactions throughout the series, Naruto seems calmer around Hinata and more open about his insecurities with her than with anybody else, as if being with her helps him be at peace with all the pain he's been through in his life.
** In ''The Last'', when Hinata [[spoiler:"rejects" him (actually a ruse as part of her plan to destroy the Tenseigan core orb and save Hanabi)]], Naruto (who didn't know about her plan) gets a HeroicBSOD so bad that he comes very close to ''giving up on everything''.
** [[http://uzumakibabies.tumblr.com/post/115104310321/throughout-that-mission-naruto-realized-that This quote]] from ''[[LightNovel/SakuraHidenThoughtsOfLoveRidingUponASpringBreeze Sakura Hiden]]'' explicitly states just how important Hinata is to Naruto:
--->"Throughout [[Anime/TheLastNarutoTheMovie that mission]], Naruto realized that Hinata's being was irreplaceable and essential to him."
* LonelyRichKid: Emphasized in her flashback in ''Shippuden'', when they show several other children coming to the conclusion that she's looking down on them.
* LoveConfession:
** Finally confesses her love to Naruto when she tries to save him from Pain in Chapter 437.
--->'''Hinata:''' "[[TheEeyore I used to always cry and give up... I made many wrong turns...]] But you... You helped me find the right path. I always chased after you... I wanted to catch up to you... I wanted to walk beside you all the time. I just wanted to be with you... [[LoveRedeems You changed me! Your smile is what saved me!]] That is why I am not afraid to die protecting you!! [[AnguishedDeclarationOfLove Because... I love you...]]"
** In ''The Last'', she receives two of these from [[spoiler:Naruto]]. She couldn't respond properly to the first one, due to certain predicaments. She gladly accepts [[GrowOldWithMe the second one]], and they even [[spoiler:[[SealedWithAKiss seal it with a kiss]]]].
* LoveFloats: In the final scene of ''The Last'', she and [[spoiler:Naruto]] have their BigDamnKiss while floating in mid-air.
* LuminescentBlush: Happens a lot when she's around Naruto, mostly in Part I. In the {{filler}}s, sometimes her [[HighPressureEmotion whole face lights up]].
* MadeOfIron: She's tough enough to take multiple attacks from Neji, even without having access to her chakra, and finally passes out only because of the immense stress to her heart.
** Happens again in her brief fight with Pain, taking an attack by someone who's already single-handedly leveled the whole village and killed multiple high-level ninja and then getting stabbed through the chest, yet she survives it. [[AdaptationExpansion The anime]] takes it further, where she gets ''repeatedly'' beaten down by Pain's attacks but manages to keep getting back up until she's finally impaled--and she ''still'' survives long enough to get treated by Sakura.
* MagicalEye: The Byakugan, a [[SuperPowerfulGenetics genetically inherited ability]] giving incredibly [[SuperSenses enhanced eyesight]].
* MartialMedic: Gives Naruto an emergency [[DramaticDislocation bone-setting]] with the Gentle Fist. She is also one of the only non-medical ninja shown to sensibly carry a first-aid kit and a secret healing ointment from her clan. [[AdaptationExpansion In the anime]], she is also capable of using the HealingHands of a medic ninja.
* MartialPacifist: Dislikes fighting, but is willing to go as far as she has to if she has no other choice. Sadly, this is why her father deems her unfit to be a leader, especially in the Fourth Shinobi World War, even after she proved that she's gotten stronger.
* MeaningfulName: Her means ''sunny place/towards the sun'', a fitting name for someone who manages to help Naruto during some of the darkest moments of his life.
* MementoMacGuffin: She met Naruto when she was a little girl, when he protected her from bullies. They beat him and ripped his red scarf. Hinata kept the red scarf as a memento of her first meeting with him. Said scarf is a important plot item in ''The Last''.
* MindlinkMates: [[spoiler:With Naruto]], as shown in Chapter 677.
* MissingMom: Her mother is never seen nor mentioned in the manga, because she never really had anything substantial to do with the plot. She hasn't even been named. However, her mother briefly appears as [[AdaptationExpansion an addition to the anime]] in a family portrait during a flashback while she's fighting Pain, and Hinata cites her as the source of her kindness. She is not seen in the present day either, which strongly indicates that she passed away, given the fact [[spoiler: she was not present at Hinata's wedding]], her home life lacks the compassionate presence of a mother to alleviate her tribulations, and her husband has the hardened disposition of a widower.
* ModestRoyalty: Eldest daughter and former heiress of the Hyuga clan [[spoiler:and was later given the title of ''Byakugan Princess'']], yet outside of her family she isn't treated differently from her peers, and she's the most modest looking out of the girls. Even when she [[spoiler:marries Naruto and basically becomes the [[HotConsort First Lady of Konoha]]]], she's still as modest as always.
* MoralityPet:
** Hinata is probably the only person in the series that [[{{Tsundere}} Sakura]] isn't cynical or easily angry towards, treating her like a surrogate younger sister.
** In the filler arcs, Hinata can be this to [[TheStoic Neji]], post-CharacterDevelopment.
* MsFanservice:
** During a {{Filler}} episode of Part I, Naruto caught a glimpse of Hinata, naked, while she was dancing in the middle of a river, and the camera gives us a silhouette of her as she does so. In actuality, she was practicing a new jutsu, and Naruto never realized who it was.
** Later, during the ''Prologue to Road to Ninja'' special, Hinata was shown in the hot springs where she was making an effort to keep her breasts from floating up from the bath water, making the other girls (especially Sakura) jealous. During the ''Road to Sakura'' special, Hinata reluctantly wore a (very) tight, red Qipao dress. Her AlternateSelf in the {{Filler}} movie ''Road To Ninja'' fits this trope, all the way through wearing [[WhoWearsShortShorts short shorts]] and a top that shows her cleavage and [[BareYourMidriff bares her midriff]].
** Lastly, there was one filler episode, a Team 8 flashback, where the audience finally got to see Hinata and Kurenai in the Hot Springs. Strangely enough, this episode actually had a shot of Hinata scarcely covered in a towel.
* MumLooksLikeASister: When she's next to her two children in ''Anime/BorutoNarutoTheMovie'', she definitely gives more of a young-adult sister vibe than a fully matured woman.
* MundaneUtility: During one of their dates. When her boyfriend, [[spoiler:Naruto]] freaks out over an expensive menu, upon seeing that he's down on cash with her Byakugan, she proposes a cheaper alternative ([[TrademarkFavoriteFood Ichiraku Ramen]]) to spare him embarrassment.
* NervesOfSteel: When the push comes to shove, she's utterly fearless, as shown as early as the Chunin Exams where she refutes her cousin Neji, and later when she faces against Pain, despite knowing she might not make it out alive, she remains calm and composed. Finally in the [[WarArc Fourth Shinobi World War Arc]], where despite her grief from Neji's sacrifice, she musters enough courage to give the despairing Naruto a RousingSpeech, that gets him back in the fight.
* NiceGirl: Her most definitive and persistent character trait during the entire series, more so than any other female in the series. How nice is she? She forgave Neji for ''almost killing her''. Also, she doesn't put on airs, act prissy and/or as Shikamaru would say, isn't overly aggressive, demanding, or even scary (unless for a very valid reason instead of something petty or trivial). Finally, of all the canon girls Naruto has ever met, she is the only one who is by far the most sweet-tempered, honest, open-minded and patient towards him, despite all his flaws that made all the other girls (particularly {{Tsundere}}s like Ino and especially Sakura) condescending, mood-swingy and judgmental towards him.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Is on the receiving end of one with Neji during the Chunin Exams to the extent that several jōnin had to step in and restrain him from killing her outright. She's still not fully healed a month later.
* NotAfraidToDie: Part of her character arc has her willingly facing foes far above her league without any hint of fear, completely willing to die for the sake of her loved ones, like the time with Pain, and again against Obito where she was ready to take the bullet for Naruto, until Neji stepped in to shield the both of them.
* ObliviousToLove: [[spoiler:Naruto ''finally'' realizes he's in love with her]] in ''The Last'', but she doesn't notice it at all until he spits it out. What makes this painfully {{iron|y}}ic is that [[spoiler:Naruto]] couldn't comprehend both Hinata's feelings and his own as romantic for ''years'', even after she spat it out to him in the Invasion of Pain arc. Then, when [[spoiler:he starts [[EveryoneCanSeeIt being incredibly unsubtle with his feelings]]]], ''she'' doesn't realize it until a FreudianSlip during a conversation between them reveals that [[spoiler:he's in love with her]].
* OfficialCouple: She and [[spoiler:Naruto]] ''finally'' become a couple in ''The Last'' and [[spoiler:get married only a few months later]]. The epilogue shows them [[spoiler:with two kids, a son and a daughter]].
* TheOjou: Raised to be proper and reserved.
* OneTrueLove: Naruto has spent almost his entire life searching for the one person who would love him unconditionally, in spite of everything that has and will transpire in his life, along with [[WartsAndAll all of his flaws]], like his parents would have if they lived beyond his birth. However, since he never understood the ''[[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove romantic]]'' implications of such a relationship, he's been blind to the fact that the person he's been searching for has been right in front of him all this time: Hinata, the girl who has admired, acknowledged and loved him for the way he is [[ChildhoodFriendRomance since the day they first met as children]]. It takes him until ''The Last'' to [[LoveEpiphany finally realize]] who the precious person he wants to protect and be with is.
* OneeSama: Her younger sister Hanabi adores her for her kindness and strength, and [[AdaptationExpansion the two episodes]] that focus on their relationship even use the trope name.
* OppositesAttract: Hinata is a shy ProperLady whose fighting style is [[LadyOfWar precise and accurate]], and she is in love with the HotBlooded boisterous Naruto whose fighting style is [[LeeroyJenkins unorthodox and full of surprises]], and [[spoiler:he realizes he's in love with her too]]. Even more so with their clothing in Part II: Orange and Black for Naruto, Lavender and White for Hinata, like yin and yang, although Naruto is actually the yang (light) to Hinata's yin (dark).
* PantheraAwesome: Both her Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists and its upgraded version, her Eight Trigrams Twin Lions Crumbling Attack.
* PatientChildhoodLoveInterest: She has been carrying the torch for Naruto that goes all the way back to their childhood days and lasts the duration of the whole series. True to the trope, instead of being upfront, she takes it slowly, by cultivating a strong friendship with him, eventually culminating in ''The Last'' [[spoiler:where her patience is ''finally'' rewarded, as he realizes his feelings for her and reciprocates her love, and the two become a couple]].
* PimpedOutDress: She is put in a black Gothic inspired one for [[spoiler:her wedding to Toneri after being [[HypnotizeThePrincess turned into one of his puppets]]; upon being freed from the mind-control by Naruto]], she turns this into a BattleBallgown.
* PluckyGirl: She is one of the first to adopt Naruto's ninja way after all:
** This is the defining trait of her fight against Neji. She hyperventilates and almost breaks before the fight even begins due to Neji's BreakingSpeech, but after Naruto helps her recover by constantly shouting out words of encouragement (and being the ''only'' one to do so), she does not give up ''ever''. Even when she loses, she manages to get the last word in, and she stands her ground when Neji tries to kill her right then and there.
** She reaffirms it when she goes against Pain fully knowing that she might not make it, since she wants to not only tell Naruto that she loves him, but to tell him that [[LoveRedeems it's thanks to him that she's reached the place she is now]].
*** Taken UpToEleven in [[AdaptationExpansion the anime version]] of her fight with Pain--in the manga they have a brief fight that ended with him delivering a OneHitKill, but in the anime she gets up...and gets up...''[[HowMuchMoreCanHeTake and keeps getting up...!]]''
* ThePowerOfLove: The single presence of Naruto can literally change her from a ShrinkingViolet to a LadyOfWar.
* PowerOfTrust: She and Naruto have placed a great amount of trust in each other since the Chunin Exams arc.
* PressurePoint: The Gentle Fist style her clan uses focuses on striking these [[RapidFireFisticuffs very quickly]], the effects being able to [[PowerNullifier shut down the flow of chakra]] and [[TouchOfDeath cause organ failure]].
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: She gives one to [[spoiler:Toneri]] in ''The Last'', right before she [[spoiler:reclaims Hanabi's eyes]].
-->'''Hinata:''' "I'm taking [[spoiler:Hanabi's eyes back]]."
* PrettyInMink: Wears a fur coat in Part I.
* PrettyPrincessPowerhouse: She's the eldest princess of the Hyuga clan. ''The Last'' even gives her the title [[spoiler:''Byakugan Princess'']].
* ProperLady: Has shades of this, especially since she comes from the Hyuga clan, which is the most prominent clan in Konoha. Hinata is poised, reserved, and polite.
* ProphetEyes: Inherent to all members of the Hyuga clan.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Disregarding how Hinata prefers to wear purple in Part II, ''The Last'' reveals that Hinata, like [[spoiler:Toneri]], possesses [[spoiler:Hamura's chakra as well]], and this chakra is colored purple.
* TheQuietOne: Hinata was the only female example in the manga in Part I, until [[DarkActionGirl Konan]] appeared in Part II.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: She has been taught the Sixty-Four Palms which is more like rapid fire [[FingerPokeOfDoom Finger Pokes of Doom]].
* RapunzelHair: By Part II, her hair has reached her lower back. In ''The Last'', it reaches her hips.
%%Do not add RavenHairIvorySkin. It does not apply.
* RedBaron: She is given the title of "Hyuga Heiress" or "Hyuga Princess" throughout the ''Naruto'' and ''Boruto'' manga, and then the "Byakugan Princess" as of ''The Last''. Also PlayedForLaughs in the ''Boruto'' anime, where she is given the title of "Legendary Queen of Gluttony" at Ichiraku Ramen.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Sakura's Red. Whereas Hinata is a {{Shy Blue Haired|Girl}} NiceGirl who can barely talk to Naruto [[CharacterDevelopment until Part II]], Sakura is a HotBlooded rose-haired {{Tsundere}} who is ready to inflict [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale unnecessary damage]] on Naruto. By Part II, even their fighting styles became total opposites to each other's: they both use chakra, but Sakura is using it to increase the strength of her punches to [[SuperStrength monstrous levels]], making her a CuteBruiser, whereas Hinata is using the PressurePoint-based Gentle Fist-style of the Hyuga clan, making her a LadyOfWar. Furthermore, as a result of their respective personalities and body figures, Sakura has ACupAngst whereas Hinata is [[HiddenBuxom hiding her buxom figure in baggy clothes]]. Also, according to the anime, Sakura is a LethalChef whereas Hinata is a [[SupremeChef supreme one]].
* RedStringOfFate: Hinata knits multiple red scarves over the course of ''The Last'' to give to Naruto and they are used as a symbolic representation of the trope name. It also serves as a CallBack and MeaningfulEcho to the story of how Naruto's parents fell in love, indicating her fate is tied to Naruto's in the same way.
* RepeatWhatYouJustSaid: To Naruto in ''The Last'' after he [[FreudianSlip accidentally reveals]] that [[spoiler:he's in love with her]].
* RepetitiveName: Evidently Hinata and Hyuga mean the same thing in Japanese.
* RescueRomance: The anime reveals that her long standing admiration of Naruto began when he tried to protect her from three bullies. This turns her "fight" against Pain into a MeaningfulEcho, with their roles reversed. ''The Last'' [[RetCanon officially confirms]] that this is how Naruto and Hinata met, albeit with a different place and different time.
* ReturningTheHandkerchief: In ''The Last'', she does this with [[RedStringOfFate a handmade red scarf]].
* RousingSpeech: She gives one to Naruto before he duels Neji and then a very impressive one during his fight against Obito and Madara.
-->'''Hinata:''' "Neji just said... that your life is not just your own anymore… Do you understand what he meant? Your words and desire to not let your comrades die... Neither of them are lies! What inspired Neji and carried him this far were those very principles! It's not just you, Naruto… we all hold those same words and feelings within our hearts. They're what bind our lives together and make us comrades. If we all give up and discard those words and feelings now, [[HeroicSacrifice Neji's sacrifice]] will have been for nothing... And that is when your comrades truly die, for you are no longer comrades then. That's how I feel... Therefore... stand up together with me, Naruto... [[MeaningfulEcho Because never going back on one's word]]... [[YouAreNotAlone is my ninja way too!]]"
* RuleOfSeven: In love with Naruto, a member of Team 7, confesses to Naruto in Chapter 437 (4+3=7). The final chapter (Chapter 700), shows her [[spoiler:HappilyMarried to Naruto, the 7th Hokage]]. The 7th ''Shippuden'' movie shows her and [[spoiler:Naruto ''finally'' becoming an OfficialCouple, the two sharing their FirstKiss, and having their wedding in the credits]]. Also, her voice actress is [[SevenIsNana Nana]] Mizuki.
* ShrinkingViolet: Terribly shy and lacking confidence. There's a reason why she once provided this trope's picture. This is largely because of the damage [[AbusiveParents her ultra-strict father's]] family did to her self-esteem, as well as her [[FanOfUnderdog huge crush on Naruto]]. When she first saw Naruto after nearly three years she ''fainted'', [[AdaptationExpansion twice in the anime]]. When said guy is in trouble, however, ''[[NotAfraidToDie she is ready to die for him]]''. She does [[CharacterDevelopment gradually outgrow her shyness]] in [[TimeSkip Part II]]; she's still quiet and soft-spoken, but she's also much more confident in herself and her abilities.
* ShyBlueHairedGirl: She is a ShrinkingViolet and she has dark blue hair.
* ShyFingerTwiddling: She did this a ''lot'' when talking to Naruto in Part I. Still provides the page pic, which is taken from ''her first on-screen appearance in the anime.''
* SignificantWardrobeShift: Hinata wore a baggy hoodie or coat throughout the series to signify her insecurity and shy nature. By the time of ''The Last'' she wears a sleeveless sweater, [[WhoWearsShortShorts short shorts]], and even ZettaiRyouiki as her shinobi attire, which signifies that she has outgrown her shyness and is even more self-confident than she already became in Part II.
* SilkHidingSteel: She's very kind and polite, but she's also a very talented fighter possessing NervesOfSteel. In ''The Last'', she gives [[spoiler:Toneri]] a very [[EyeScream powerful demonstration]] of the trope.
* SingleTargetSexuality: She has only ever loved Naruto. It's this fact that allows [[ShipperOnDeck Sakura]] to [[spoiler:snap Naruto out of his HeroicBSOD after Hinata "rejects" him]] in ''The Last''; as Sakura puts it, Hinata has only ever had eyes for him, and that's something that will ''never'' change.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: While all the other girls like Sakura and Ino were [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys drooling over "bad boy" Sasuke]], Hinata never even noticed him, preferring the nice, cheerful, neglected Naruto. In fact, she first met, and later developed feelings for, Naruto when [[RescueRomance he defended her against three bullies]] when [[ChildhoodFriendRomance they were kids]].
* SnowMeansLove: She met Naruto on a snowy day before they enrolled in the Academy, and she has been in love with him ever since. Snow remains a reoccurring motif during Hinata's character arc (in part due to her birthday being on December 27th), but none more so than in ''The Last'', which depicts the final, major developments of [[spoiler:her romance with Naruto]], which kept getting pushed to the background throughout the main series.
* SpeechImpededLoveInterest: She had a rather pronounced stutter throughout her childhood due to her [[AbusiveParents abusive family]] and [[HeroicSelfDeprecation self-confidence issues]]. In Part I, she trips over her own words and says "Ano/Um" a lot more than necessary. It's taken UpToEleven in some fanfics that have her [[{{Flanderization}} stutter on every syllable]]. By Part II, [[CharacterDevelopment she stops stuttering so much]], even around [[FanOfUnderdog her crush]], Naruto. She completely loses her stutter by the Invasion of Pain arc. [[spoiler:She and Naruto ''finally'' become a couple in ''The Last'']].
* StalkerWithACrush: {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Naruto. Hinata developed a crush on him because of his ambition and ideals, and [[RescueRomance he protected her from a trio of bullies on the day they enrolled in the Academy]], but she suffered from [[ShrinkingViolet painful shyness]] due to her [[AbusiveParents abusive family]], and was thus forced to admire him from afar. However, her feelings for him are genuine, rather than an overobsessive crush. This makes her one of the more sympathetic examples out there, since she is very clearly shown to truly care about him. And her aforementioned shy nature made it hard for her to approach Naruto in Part I. [[CharacterDevelopment She completely dropped this behavior]] in Part II, and her feelings became a symbol of real love when she attempted to save him from Pain.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[AdaptationExpansion The anime]] shows that Hinata takes after her mother in appearance. [[spoiler:Her own daughter with Naruto, Himawari, takes after her as well, although she has Naruto's face, whiskers, and InnocentBlueEyes]].
* StuffedInTheFridge: ''Assumed'' to have been killed by Pain so that Naruto would have more motivation for fighting him, but she managed to survive. Not that it would've mattered much, since Nagato/Pain ended up reviving everyone anyway.
* StunnedSilence: Her reaction to Naruto saying that he liked people like her in the Chunin Exams arc, and then when he reveals that [[spoiler:he's in love with her]] in ''The Last''.
* SuperEmpowering: In ''The Last'', after [[spoiler:Hamura Otsutsuki]] gives Hinata his chakra and deems her TheChosenOne, she is able to use the Chakra Transfer technique to share her chakra with [[spoiler:Naruto]] in order to protect him. She is able to do this ''immediately'', which is especially impressive considering it took [[WorldsStrongestMan Naruto]] some time to learn how to share Kurama's chakra with his comrades.
* SupernaturalMartialArts: The Gentle Fist which provides examples of...
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: The Byakugan, which seems to be the most dominant of all bloodlines seen so far extending to every member of the Hyuga clan [[spoiler:except for her own son with Naruto, Boruto, who inherits his father's InnocentBlueEyes]].
* SuperSenses: Byakugan grants nearly 360 degree vision and telescopic view.
* SweetTooth: [[AllThereInTheManual According to the databooks]], her favorite food are cinnamon rolls and zenzai (red bean soup); coincidentally, the latter is also the kind that Naruto likes as well.
* TearsOfJoy: In the Invasion of Pain arc, she shed tears of relief upon learning that Naruto managed to defeat Pain, and when he returned to the village safe and sound. She does this twice in ''The Last'': first, [[spoiler:when Naruto wholeheartedly accepts the remains of the red scarf she made for him]], she tears up and smiles. At the end of the movie, when [[spoiler:Naruto [[GrowOldWithMe proposes]] to her]], she sheds a SparklingStreamOfTears in elation.
* TextileWorkIsFeminine: She is seen knitting [[RedStringOfFate a red scarf]] many times in ''The Last''.
* ThroughHisStomach: In a filler episode, Naruto eats one of Hinata's rice balls and compliments her by telling her that she's going to make a good wife someday. In Episode 12 of the ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' anime, where [[spoiler:[[OfficialCouple Naruto and Hinata]] have been [[HappilyMarried husband and wife]] for about a decade]], he makes it clear that he prefers her home cooking rather than the cup noodles he's been eating at work lately.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Sakura's Tomboy.
* TookALevelInBadass: In Part II, she not only becomes assertive and much more confident, but she starts putting a good use to her abilities.
* ToughLove: It appears that becoming a mother has made her sterner in the ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' anime, with her son in particular.
* TranquilFury: Due to her kind and gentle nature, she almost never shows her anger, but whenever she does, it manifests itself as this:
** In ''The Last'', [[spoiler:[[BigBad Toneri]]]] was the recipient of [[EyeScream such fury]] in a very [[NightmareFuel/TheLastNarutoTheMovie scary moment]].
** According to the ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' anime, this is how she scolds her son, to a high degree of success. The boy may be resentful towards his increasingly busy father, but he's very scared to cross lines with his mother.
*** In Episode 10, after her son skips school, she greets him at the door with [[NightmareFace her Byakugan activated]]. He is immediately terrified of her.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Her dark blue hair qualifies her for this, especially since it's a unique hair color for the Hyuga clan and Konoha in general.
* TrueSight: The Byakugan is capable of seeing through illusion as well as other visually disabling jutsu like the Hidden Mist technique.
* TwiceShy: [[spoiler:With Naruto]] in ''The Last''.
* TheUnchosenOne: While she is TheChosenOne in ''The Last'', she is this to [[TheChosenOne Naruto]] in the main series, being there for him during some of the most important battles of his life, such as against Neji, Pain, and Obito.
* UndyingLoyalty: To her family. This is undisputed in ''The Last'', where despite being incredibly happy upon [[spoiler:Naruto confessing his love to her]], which is something she has been waiting almost her entire life for, she still chooses [[spoiler:to [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim "reject"]] him and "agree" to marry Toneri so that she could destroy the Tenseigan and [[BigSisterInstinct save her younger sister Hanabi]]]]. Even though [[spoiler:she clearly regrets hurting Naruto, when she wakes up in Toneri's castle, the first thing she does is find Hanabi]], and then she does not once falter in her plan, even though she has to [[XanatosSpeedChess improvise]] later on, [[spoiler:eventually with Naruto's help]].
* TheUnfavourite: Her father resented her for being gentle and shy, preferring her more aggressive younger sister Hanabi as an heiress. They began to repair their relationship after the Chunin Exams arc, and they clearly became on much better terms after he openly applauded her for trying to fight Pain. However, he still didn't consider her good enough to be a leader for the Fourth Shinobi World War, feeling that she wasn't ready yet. Despite that, he still allowed her to participate in the War, and he did not stop her from helping him and Neji protect Naruto during the fight against Obito and Madara.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to Naruto, Hinata loves Ichiraku's ramen as much as he does. Boruto is naturally skeptic, since Naruto went out of his way to endorse the restaurant and is clearly a biased fan. That said, given her BigEater tendencies, it's not hard to believe this given that she is the reigning queen of most ramen bowls eaten in a single hour.
* UnrequitedTragicMaiden: Played Straight for the majority of the main series. [[spoiler:Eventually {{Subverted|Trope}} in the epilogue, and is completely {{Averted|Trope}} in ''The Last'']].
* UptightLovesWild: Hinata is the shy ProperLady to Naruto's hyperactive IdiotHero.
* UptownGirl: [[spoiler:With Naruto]]. PlayedWith, as Hinata was the heiress of the illustrious Hyuga clan and probably the closest Konoha had to a princess after Tsunade left, while [[spoiler:Naruto]] was the village pariah. However, by the time their romance actually ''starts'' during ''The Last'', [[spoiler:Naruto]] had already become the HomegrownHero who had ''saved the world'', along with (presumably) being revealed as [[spoiler:the son of the Fourth Hokage]]. Even if anyone wanted to object a relationship between them, they couldn't because [[spoiler:Naruto's]] credentials and achievements far outstripped any possible obstacles in regards to his social status. In fact, one could argue that ''Hinata'' is the one marrying above her station. However, it's ultimately {{Zig Zagged}} because she's still a member of the Hyuga clan's main family and she became [[spoiler:the ''Byakugan Princess'']] in ''The Last'', so despite [[spoiler:Naruto's]] credentials and achievements, Hinata is still considered royalty by the time they get together.
* VeinOVision: The Byakugan lets the user see the chakra network, the better to strike pressure points therein.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: She stands in front of Pain and bravely fights him in order to protect Naruto.
* WaifFu: Her clan's specialty is the "Gentle Fist" technique, which rather than using crippling damage delivers a short, intense burst of energy to block a chakra point, preventing the use of ninja techniques (and potentially the use of limbs, or ''organs''). In the anime, she's also shown the ability to improve the "near perfect defense" technique to a "truly perfect defense", and turns the Gentle Fist into something that would make [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]] start to shed ManlyTears. For the longest time, she did this ''occasionally''. She would have demonstrated her strength more often earlier on, had it not been for her crippling self-esteem issues, which were only sporadically overcome by following Naruto's example. By the [[WarArc Fourth Shinobi World War Arc]], after she becomes assertive and has gained a lot more confidence, she starts actively showing off her strength, especially when she masters the Sixty-Four Palms and combines it with her Twin Lion Fists.
* WartsAndAll: Hinata has admired, acknowledged, and loved Naruto for the way he is since the very beginning. Both the flashback in Chapter 538 and [[WordOfGod a post-series interview with Kishimoto]] confirm that she was the very first person to acknowledge Naruto for who he is, ''long'' before Iruka did. ''The Last'' shows that because of this, Hinata loves Naruto just the way he is, rather than the hero that everyone else sees, [[spoiler:which is one of the reasons why he marries ''[[OneTrueLove her]]'' in the end]]. She loved him long before he ever became the hero in the public's eye and she'll love him long after his story fades into legend.
--> '''Naruto''': [[spoiler:"[[InsecureLoveInterest This whole time, you always loved me for the way I am]]."]]
* WellDoneDaughterGirl: Wants to be acknowledged by her father, to the point where her most desired opponent is listed as him. She has managed it. She also counts as a "Well Done, Cousin" Girl since she also wanted Neji's approval, and has achieved it.
* WiseBeyondHerYears: She is the only one who sees Naruto for who he truly is ''long'' before any of the other characters do. She offers Naruto assurance and gives him back his confidence right before he fights Neji. Before that, though, she sees and understands Neji for the troubled and suffering soul he really is, which really [[BerserkButton sets him off]].
* XanatosSpeedChess: Her plan of destroying [[spoiler:the Tenseigan core orb]] in ''The Last'', despite a few setbacks, succeeds through adapting to circumstances, taking advantage of opportunities, and accepting help when offered, [[spoiler:especially from Naruto]].
* XRayVision: The Byakugan allows the user to see into and through their target's clothes, skin, flesh, etc, allowing for better pinpointing of chakra nodes.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Has all the physical traits and some of the psychological ones. Developing the "Core of Steel" associated with a typical YamatoNadeshiko is actually a major part of her CharacterDevelopment.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: A turning point in her relationship with Naruto was when she encouraged him when he [[BeneathTheMask revealed his]] [[BoisterousWeakling insecurities to her]] in the Chunin Exams arc and she assured him of his strength by telling him that [[EyesNeverLie she can see in his eyes]] that he is strong. Naruto returns the favor to Hinata three years later during the [[WarArc Fourth Shinobi World War Arc]], when she's hard on herself because he had to save her while she was supposed to be protecting him, and [[ShipTease he echoes what she said to him back then]].
-->'''Hinata:''' ''(thinking)'' ''"The one we're supposed to protect is always protecting us. [[HeroicSelfDeprecation I'm really useless]]."''\\
'''Naruto:''' "Don't let it bother you, Hinata. [[RememberWhenYouBlewUpASun You protected me twice already]]. I can't let you keep doing that. It's not cool!"\\
'''Hinata:''' "I-I wasn't worried or anything..."\\
'''Naruto:''' "[[MeaningfulEcho I can see it in your eyes]]. Don't be so hard on yourself! You are strong!"\\
'''Hinata:''' ''(thinking)'' ''"Thank you, Naruto-kun."''
* YouAreNotAlone: A part of the foundation of her close friendship [[spoiler:and eventual romance]] with Naruto. She serves as a living reminder of the fact that he is not alone, no matter how bad the situation is or what the overwhelming odds are, and vice-versa.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Bonus point for being the only one with this [[HairColors hair color]] in the all-brunette Hyuga clan. [[spoiler: She in turn, passes this on to her and Naruto's daughter Himawari]].
* ZettaiRyouiki: A-grade type when combined with her [[WhoWearsShortShorts short shorts]] in ''The Last''.

Member of Team 8. Kiba is a wild, untamed ninja from the Inuzuka clan, a family of dog breeders. As such, he's never seen without his loyal pooch, Akamaru. Kiba utilizes him as both a partner and a weapon, and later as a transport.

He treats Hinata like a younger sister, fights with his ultra-serious partner Shino and, after initially mocking him, considers Naruto one of his closest friends.

Kiba fights Naruto in the preliminary rounds of the Chunin Exams, which is one of the latter's first big solo fights in the series. Kiba tries a number of attacks and strategies to beat Naruto, but the kid just won't stay down. Later, Kiba is recruited by Shikamaru for the Sasuke Retrieval team, fights and is nearly killed by Sakon, and is saved by Kankuro.

Among Kiba's abilities are a heightened sense of smell, which makes him especially effective at tracking. He is also one of the fastest seen ninja. In battle, Kiba can transform Akamaru into a clone of himself, allowing them to use combination attacks such as the tornado-like Fang Over Fang. He can also make himself more bestial in nature, increasing his speed and strength, and can combine with Akamaru to become a two-headed wolf. In Part II, he has developed his sense of smell to the point that it is superior to that of a dog's. When the Fourth Shinobi World War started, he was placed in the Fifth Division along with Shino, his sister Hana, and Ino.

After the events of the war, Kiba's dream of becoming Hokage were never realized, though he does settle down years later with his new love interest, Tamaki, a beautiful girl with a fondness for cats.
