This unnamed elder was the previous head of Konohagakure's Hyūga clan and the father of Hiashi and Hizashi Hyūga.[1]

Background

It was apparently his idea to have Hizashi act as Hiashi's body double after the incident with the Head Ninja of Kumogakure. Even though his elder son struggled with the decision, he told him that at some point in time, each head of the clan has had to protect it in some way or the other and that this was why the branch family existed.[2]

Personality

He has been shown to be very loyal to the clan putting the safety of the Byakugan and its secrets even above the life of his own son.[3] This fierce loyalty, however, comes off as callousness, and it often times seems that his only concern is protecting the clan's kekkei genkai at any cost.

Appearance

He is a man of short stature with long, grey hair that reaches down to his back, and like all members of his clan, he possesses featureless white eyes. He wears traditional robes which consist of a loose fitting kimono that is held closed with a simple sash under a brown, waist length haori.

Abilities

Although nothing is known of the extent of his abilities, it can be assumed that he was well-versed in the clan's secret techniques as he was the head of the clan. He also has the Byakugan, which grants him near 360° vision amongst other abilities.

He was later found by Neji and when he regained consciousness, he asked him to do whatever it took to get Hinata back.[5]
