This seal is branded on all branch house members in the [[Hyūga clan]] by members of the main house. The main purpose is to seal the [[Byakugan]] at death, so that its secrets never fall into the hands of the enemy. When the Hyūga dies, the seal disappears, sealing away the Byakugan with it.<ref name="chpt102p14">''Naruto'' chapter 102, page 14</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 614, page 15</ref> The secondary purpose is to control the branch house members, since it can be activated at will by a main house member with a hand seal only known by them to destroy the wearer's brain cells.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 102, pages 12-13</ref>

The seal is branded on a branch member's forehead when the next heir or heiress of the main house turns three years old, ([[Neji]] received his at the age of four on [[Hinata]]'s third birthday),<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 102, page 10</ref> and is only removed upon their death.<ref name="chpt102p14"/> Branch house members tend to keep their foreheads concealed because of the seal.

== Trivia ==
* Because of the seal's resemblance to a manji, which in actuality is a Hindu and Buddhist symbol, but more commonly associated with the inverted [[Wikipedia:Swastika|swastika]] of the Nazi — it is replaced with an "X" in the anime version of the series to avoid confusion. It receives the same treatment in [[Wikipedia:Viz Media|Viz]]'s monthly distribution of the English manga, but the original design is retained in Viz's volume compilations. The Viz version of the manga has also taken care to always mention that the symbol is not a swastika whenever it is displayed.
* [[Ao]] from [[Kirigakure]] killed a member of the Hyūga clan to obtain his Byakugan eye. Whether he killed a '''main''' or '''branch''' house member is still unknown, but it is however likely that he killed a member of the Main House or he removed the eye of a Branch member while his opponent was still alive; whether the Hyūga seal prevents this is unknown.
