Relatively nothing is known of Hanabi's skills at this point other than it was stated during the Chūnin Exams that she is more skilled in the Gentle Fist than her sister's but weaker than Neji. In the anime it was shown that she is very skilled with [[taijutsu]] even at her young age as she was able to knock out Hinata in a sparring duel. It can be assumed also, that as a wielder of the Byakugan, she has near 360° of vision as well as the ability to see through objects amongst other ocular abilities granted by the eyes.

Hanabi Hyūga (日向ハナビ, Hyūga Hanabi) is a kunoichi from Konohagakure's Hyūga clan.

Background

Hinata's family

Hanabi as an infant along with her family.

Hanabi is the younger daughter of the Hyūga clan's head, Hiashi Hyūga. While always looking up to her sister Hinata and wanting to spend more time with her, Hinata's duties as the future heir to Hyūga clan made it hard the two sisters to have any time together. Watching Hinata and seeing her as strong yet so kind, Hanabi aspired to be more like Hinata and began training herself. While often watching Hinata train secretly, she also spied on Hinata as she would often leave home to watch Naruto Uzumaki from a far, making the younger sister wonder why Hinata was so fixated on the social outcast. Later, Hanabi was horrified to learned of the hatred the Branch house of the clan felt towards the Main house and the usage of the Hyuga's cursed seal to keep the Branch members under control. During sparring sessions between Hanabi and her sister, Hanabi's talent began to shine, amazing everyone by being about on par with her older sister. Later, as Hinata's progress began to be questioned after a strong beating by Neji during training, the Hyūga Elder suggested training Hanabi to be the heir. Ultimately, a duel was held between Hanabi and Hinata to decide the future of their clan. While Hinato found an opening to win the fight, she hesitated to strike down her sister, allowing Hanabi to counterattack and win the duel, much to Hanabi's distaste at hurting her sister.[3] Ultimately, as Hanabi showed more talent and confidence than her elder sister Hinata, their father decided to make Hanabi the heiress to the clan,[1] and instead focused his grueling training regime on her instead of her sister, whose training he considered to be a waste of time.[4] As Hanabi continued to train under her father, believing the words of her grandfather that all a tied to a unchanging fate, Hanabi became determined to prove herself worthy of being the next head of the Hyūga Clan.

Personality

Hanabi's character was not expanded on in the manga very much. In the anime, Hanabi seems to be a quiet, polite and respectful girl, although she seems to open up to people a bit easier than her sister. Unlike how Hinata once was, Hanabi is more confident in her abilities. In the anime, since a young age, Hanabi adored her elder sister, always wanting to spend time with Hinata and sad when she learned the harsh conditions Hinata had to endure. When Hanabi learned of the harsh nature the Hyūga lived by and that she would be expected to lead her clan, Hanabi gradually became more hardened, determined to not let her clan down.[3] Later, after seeing her sister rise beyond everyone's expectations and grow so strong, Hanabi regained much of her previous joyful demeanor.[5]

Appearance

Hanabi - The Last

Hanabi as she appears in The Last: Naruto the Movie.

Hanabi has dark brown hair with long parted bangs with a single lock of hair falling into her face. She also has large, white eyes - a trait shared by all members of her clan. In the anime, her eyes have a hint of lilac in them. In Part I, she was seen wearing a sleeveless, blue v-neck shirt, with mesh armour underneath and blue shorts and sandals.

During Part II, as revealed in Kishimoto's sketches and Hanabi's brief appearance in Hinata's Infinite Tsukuyomi dream, Hanabi had became a genin. She had cut her hair short, wore a modified version of her original outfit and had a white vest.

In The Last: Naruto the Movie, two years after the Fourth Shinobi World War, her hair has grown significantly longer and is tied into a lower ponytail, reaching past her waist and both of her strands are tied in two pink ribbons. She wears a tannish long sleeve kimono shirt with red-orange flames on it with a matching skirt, along with a white strap around her waist.

Trivia

Springtime of Youth
The Springtime of Youth wiki has an article about this topic:
  • Hanabi's name means "fireworks".
  • According to the databook(s):
    • Her favourite foods are bananas and milk, while her least favourite food is mitsuba.
    • Her hobby is training with her father.
Hanabi TS

Part II Hanabi concept, in the Rock Lee no Seishun Full-Power Ninden spin-off.

  • Despite Kishimoto designing a post time-skip version of Hanabi only shown in Rock Lee no Seishun Full-Power Ninden spin-off, in Hinata's Infinite Tsukuyomi dream, she appeared in her Part I design.
  • As the younger sibling, there is a possibility she will be placed in the Branch Family and receive a cursed seal, once the next heir turns three. However, because her father felt that Hanabi was a more suitable heiress than Hinata, and because there have been several changes in the way the Hyūga family works, it is possible she might be exempt from this. Since she is a girl however, it is also possible she was never meant to have a cursed seal in the first place, as Japanese tradition usually only allows men to start a branch family.
