Naruto manga chapter 34

Hinata Hyuga (日向 ヒナタ, Hyūga Hinata) is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. Hinata is a teenage kunoichi from the fictional village of Konohagakure. Hinata is a member of Team 8, which consists of herself, Kiba Inuzuka with his ninja dog Akamaru, Shino Aburame, and the team leader Kurenai Yuhi. At the start of the series, Hinata has strong admiration towards the main protagonist Naruto Uzumaki, which eventually turns into love as the story progresses. Hinata has appeared in the series' films and in other media related to the franchise, including video games and original video animations.

Hinata is voiced by Nana Mizuki in the original animated series and Stephanie Sheh in the English adaptations.

In 2017, Kishimoto said in an interview that he had decided on Naruto and Hinata getting married from the early stages of the manga. He felt that their relationship was meant to be because Hinata had been supportive of Naruto since the beginning, before even Iruka Umino, although this angered his wife who wanted him to end up with Sakura Haruno. For Part II of the series, Hinata was designed to look like a woman who is beautiful, but avoids using makeup and be more focused on fighting.

In the making of The Last: Naruto the Movie, Hinata's voice actress, Nana Mizuki, was surprised with all the focus her character received. When seeing Hinata as an adult, Mizuki commented she was amazed by how more womanly Hinata became as well as how she looked more mature. She also expressed similar feelings when Naruto's adult self. The character's attributes such as her personality as well as her unwillingness to give up regardless of the situation was what made Mizuki like her. Her favorite scene in the movie was when Naruto confesses his love to Hinata. She was happy for what it meant to Hinata but still found it cold when Hinata goes to Toneri's side. Kishimoto was too embarrassed when making romance in the series to the point he was not sure if he saw Naruto's and Hinata's kissing scene.
