Hyuuga Hinata is the eldest daughter of the main branch of the Hyuga clan. The name "Hyuga" means "toward the sun," while "Hinata" is a pun on the kanji, meaning "a sunny place." Her father, Hiashi Hyuga, trained her to become the heir of the clan but later deemed her a lost cause due to her perceived lack of skill compared to her younger sister, Hanabi. After being assigned to Team 8 and left in Kurenai Yuhis care by her father, Hinata struggled with low self-confidence and an unwillingness to fight. Despite training to improve her abilities, she would give up when faced with competition and failed every mission she was assigned.
Sometime after the fourth shinobi war, she marries Naruto and bears their two children, Boruto and Himawari.

In an attempt to change herself, Hinata enters the Chunin Exams, where she is put against her cousin, Neji Hyuga, in the exams preliminary matches. Neji is quick to ridicule Hinata for her personality traits and attempts to convince her that she is a failure who will never be able to change herself, bringing her to tears. Naruto Uzumakis encouragement, however, empowers her to fight her cousin despite repeatedly being struck down.

After recovering from her wounds, Hinata continues training to prove herself to her father and Naruto.
Her efforts are successful in both regards, as she is eventually able to acquire a better relationship with her father, who encourages her to continue working on improving herself. Naruto has also come to hold her in a higher standing, and he tells her that while he had considered her timid and weird before, he now views her as a likable person.
